We study the singularities of integral models of Shimura varieties and moduli stacks of shtukas with parahoric level structure. More generally our results apply to the Pappas-Zhu and Levin mixed characteristic parahoric local models, and to their equal characteristic analogues. For any such local model we prove under minimal assumptions that the entire local model is normal with reduced special fiber and, if $p>2$, it is also Cohen-Macaulay. This proves a conjecture of Pappas and Zhu, and shows that the integral models of Shimura varieties constructed by Kisin and Pappas are Cohen-Macaulay as well.
We prove the test function conjecture of Kottwitz and the first named author for local models of Shimura varieties with parahoric level structure, and their analogues in equal characteristic.
Let $fa$ be an ideal of a local ring $(R,fm)$ and $M$ a finitely generated $R$-module. We investigate the structure of the formal local cohomology modules ${vpl}_nH^i_{fm}(M/fa^n M)$, $igeq 0$. We prove several results concerning finiteness properties of formal local cohomology modules which indicate that these modules behave very similar to local cohomology modules. Among other things, we prove that if $dim Rleq 2$ or either $fa$ is principal or $dim R/faleq 1$, then $Tor_j^R(R/fa,{vpl}_nH^i_{fm}(M/fa^n M))$ is Artinian for all $i$ and $j$. Also, we examine the notion $fgrade(fa,M)$, the formal grade of $M$ with respect to $fa$ (i.e. the least integer $i$ such that ${vpl}_nH^i_{fm}(M/fa^n M) eq 0$). As applications, we establish a criterion for Cohen-Macaulayness of $M$, and also we provide an upper bound for cohomological dimension of $M$ with respect to $fa$.
Our goal is to determine when the trivial extensions of commutative rings by modules are Cohen-Macaulay in the sense of Hamilton and Marley. For this purpose, we provide a generalization of the concept of Cohen-Macaulayness of rings to modules.
We prove the test function conjecture of Kottwitz and the first named author for local models of Shimura varieties with parahoric level structure attached to Weil-restricted groups, as defined by B. Levin. Our result covers the (modified) local models attached to all connected reductive groups over $p$-adic local fields with $pgeq 5$. In addition, we give a self-contained study of relative affine Grassmannians and loop groups formed using general relative effective Cartier divisors in a relative curve over an arbitrary Noetherian affine scheme.
We survey some recent work on the geometric Satake of p-adic groups and its applications to some arithmetic problems of Shimura varieties. We reformulate a few constructions appeared in the previous works more conceptually.
