Elliptic sheaves (which are related to Drinfeld modules) were introduced by Drinfeld and further studied by Laumon–Rapoport–Stuhler and others. They can be viewed as function field analogues of elliptic curves and hence are objects “of dimension 1”. Their higher dimensional generalizations are called abelian sheaves. In the analogy between function fields and number fields, abelian sheaves are ...

We study the Jordan-Hölder series for nearby cycles on certain Shimura varieties and Rapoport-Zink local models, and on finite-dimensional pieces of Beilinson’s deformation of the affine Grassmannian to the affine flag variety (and their p-adic analogues). We give a formula for the multiplicities of irreducible constituents in terms of certain cohomology groups, and we also provide an algorithm...
