This paper studies affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties in the affine flag manifold of a split group. Among other things, it proves emptiness for certain of these varieties, relates some of them to those for Levi subgroups, extends previous conjectures concerning their dimensions, and generalizes the superset method.

This paper concerns the dimensions of certain affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties, both in the affine Grassmannian and in the affine flag manifold. Rapoport conjectured a formula for the dimensions of the varieties X_mu(b) in the affine Grassmannian. We prove his conjecture for b in the split torus; we find that these varieties are equidimensional; and we reduce the general conjecture to the case of superbasic b. In the affine flag manifold, we prove a formula that reduces the dimension question for X_x(b) with b in the split torus to computations of dimensions of intersections of Iwahori orbits with orbits of the unipotent radical. Calculations using this formula allow us to verify a conjecture of Reuman in many new cases, and to make progress toward a generalization of his conjecture.
Rapoport and Kottwitz defined the affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties $X_{tilde{w}}^P(bsigma)$ of a quasisplit connected reductive group $G$ over $F = mathbb{F}_q((t))$ for a parahoric subgroup $P$. They asked which pairs $(b, tilde{w})$ give non-empty varieties, and in these cases what dimensions do these varieties have. This paper answers these questions for $P=I$ an Iwahori subgroup, in the cases $b=1$, $G=SL_2$, $SL_3$, $Sp_4$. This information is used to get a formula for the dimensions of the $X_{tilde{w}}^K(sigma)$ (all shown to be non-empty by Rapoport and Kottwitz) for the above $G$ that supports a general conjecture of Rapoport. Here $K$ is a special maximal compact subgroup.
We show various properties of smooth projective D-affine varieties. In particular, any smooth projective D-affine variety is algebraically simply connected and its image under a fibration is D-affine. In characteristic zero such D-affine varieties are also uniruled. We also show that (apart from a few small characteristics) a smooth projective surface is D-affine if and only if it is isomorphic to either ${mathbb P}^2$ or ${mathbb P}^1times {mathbb P}^1$. In positive characteristic, a basic tool in the proof is a new generalization of Miyaokas generic semipositivity theorem.
We give a criterion which determines when a union of one-dimensional Deligne-Lusztig varieties has a connected closure. We also obtain a new, short proof of the connectedness criterion for Deligne-Lusztig varieties due to Lusztig.
We investigate Siegel modular varieties in positive characteristic with Iwahori level structure. On these spaces, we have the Newton stratification, and the Kottwitz-Rapoport stratification; one would like to understand how these stratifications are related to each other. We give a simple description of all KR strata which are entirely contained in the supersingular locus as disjoint unions of Deligne-Lusztig varieties. We also give an explicit numerical description of the KR stratification in terms of abelian varieties.
