Compactifications of splitting models of PEL-type Shimura varieties

Compactifications of Splitting Models of Pel-type Shimura Varieties

We construct toroidal and minimal compactifications, with expected properties concerning stratifications and formal local structures, for all integral models of PEL-type Shimura varieties defined by taking normalizations over the splitting models considered by Pappas and Rapoport. (These include, in particular, all the normal flat splitting models they considered.)

Models of Shimura varieties in mixed characteristic

The arithmetic volume of Shimura varieties of orthogonal type

The overall aim of this thesis is to compute arithmetic volumes of Shimura varieties of orthogonal type and natural heights of the special cycles on them. We develop a general theory of integral models of toroidal compactifications of Shimura varieties of Hodge type (and of its standard principal bundle) for the case of good reduction. This enables us, using the theory of Borcherds products, an...

Local Models of Shimura Varieties and a Conjecture of Kottwitz

We give a group theoretic definition of “local models” as sought after in the theory of Shimura varieties. These are projective schemes over the integers of a p-adic local field that are expected to model the singularities of integral models of Shimura varieties with parahoric level structure. Our local models are certain mixed characteristic degenerations of Grassmannian varieties; they are ob...
