On the Bruhat-Tits stratification of a quaternionic unitary Shimura variety

19 Sep 2019 · Wang Haining ·

In this note we study the special fiber of the Rapoport-Zink space attached to a quaternionic unitary group. The special fiber is described using the so called Bruhat-Tits stratification and is intimately related to the Bruhat-Tits building of a split symplectic group. As an application we describe the supersingular locus of the related Shimura variety.
