Number Theory Seminar
Compactifications of PEL-type Shimura varieties in ramified characteristics
Kai-Wen Lan,
Assistant Professor,
School of Mathematics,
University of Minnesota,
I will report on what we know about the compactifications of PEL-type Shimura varieties in ramified characteristics, allowing arbitrary levels, when they are simply defined by taking normalizations in certain auxiliary good reduction integral models. While we cannot expect them to be smooth, I will explain that they still enjoy many nice properties comparable to the good reduction cases.
