We establish a Harder-Narasimhan formalism for modifications of $G$-bundles on the Fargues-Fontaine curve. The semi-stable stratum of the associated stratification of the $B_{dR}^+$-Grassmannian coincides with the variant of the weakly admissible locus defined by Viehmann, and its classical points agree with those of the basic Newton stratum. When restricted to minuscule affine Schubert cells, the stratification corresponds to the Harder-Narasimhan stratification of Dat, Orlik and Rapoport. We also study basic geometric properties of the strata, and the relation to the Hodge-Newton decomposition.

We consider the Newton stratification on Iwahori double cosets for a connected reductive group. We prove the existence of Newton strata whose closures cannot be expressed as a union of strata, and show how this is implied by the existence of non-equidimensional affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties. We also give an explicit example for a group of type $A_4$.

We study parabolic reductions and Newton points of G-bundles on the Fargues-Fontaine curve and the Newton stratification on the $B_{dR}^+$-Grassmannian for any reductive group G. Let $Bun_G$ be the stack of G-bundles on the Fargues-Fontaine curve. Our first main result is to show that under the identification of the points of $Bun_G$ with Kottwitz's set B(G), the closure relations on the topological space $|Bun_G|$ coincide with the opposite of the usual partial order on B(G). Furthermore, we prove that every non-Hodge-Newton decomposable Newton stratum in a minuscule affine Schubert cell in the $B_{dR}^+$-Grassmannian intersects the weakly admissible locus, proving a conjecture of Chen. On the way, we study several interesting properties of parabolic reductions of $G$-bundles, and determine which Newton strata have classical points., Comment: 33 pages, final version, to appear in Duke Math.

The set of Newton strata in a given Iwahori double coset in the loop group of a reductive group G is indexed by a finite subset of the set B(G) of Frobenius-conjugacy classes. For unramified $G$ we show that it has a unique minimal element and determine this element. Under a regularity assumption we also compute the dimension of the corresponding Newton stratum. We derive corresponding results for affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties., Comment: 14 pages, proof of main theorem considerably simplified; contains an appendix not included in the corresponding publication

Affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties are closely related to the special fibre of Newton strata in the reduction of Shimura varieties or of moduli spaces of $G$-shtukas. In almost all cases, they are not quasi-compact. In this note we prove basic finiteness properties of affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties under minimal assumptions on the associated group. We show that affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties are locally of finite type, and prove a global finiteness result related to the natural group action. Similar results have previously been known for special situations., Comment: 9 pages, final version to appear in Documenta Math

We consider the Newton stratification on Iwahori double cosets in the loop group of a reductive group. We describe a group-theoretic condition on the generic Newton point, called cordiality, under which the Newton poset (i.e. the index set for non-empty Newton strata) is saturated and Grothendieck's conjecture on closures of the Newton strata holds. Finally, we give several large classes of Iwahori double cosets for which this condition is satisfied by studying certain paths in the associated quantum Bruhat graph., Comment: 17 pages, 1 figure; expanded introduction, generalized main theorem, changed section numbers; final version to appear in Forum of Mathematics, Sigma v3: no mathematical changes, additional funding accredited

We give an overview of the theory of local G-shtukas and their moduli spaces that were introduced in joint work of U.~Hartl and the author, and in the past years studied by many people. We also discuss relations to moduli of global G-shtukas, properties of their special fiber through affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties and of their generic fiber, such as the period map., Comment: ICM-report

Moduli spaces of bounded local $G$-shtukas are a group-theoretic generalization of the function field analog of Rapoport and Zink's moduli spaces of $p$-divisible groups. In this article we generalize some very prominent concepts in the theory of Rapoport-Zink spaces to our setting. More precisely, we define period spaces, as well as the period map from a moduli space of bounded local $G$-shtukas to the corresponding period space, and we determine the image of the period map. Furthermore, we define a tower of coverings of the generic fiber of the moduli space which is equipped with a Hecke action and an action of a suitable automorphism group. Finally we consider the $\ell$-adic cohomology of these towers., Comment: 58 pages, significant improvements and corrections compared to the first version; to appear in Journal Inst. Math. Jussieu

We examine the set of $J_b(F)$-orbits in the set of irreducible components of affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties for a hyperspecial subgroup and minuscule coweight $\mu$. Our description implies in particular that its number of elements is bounded by the dimension of a suitable weight space in the Weyl module associated with $\mu$ of the dual group., Comment: 21 pages, v2: small corrections, removed Lemma 1.3

This paper analyses the finer structure of Newton strata in loop groups. These can be decomposed into so-called central leaves. We define them, and determine their global geometric structure. We then study the closure of central leaves, both by proving some general properties and by considering an illustrative example., Comment: 12 pages

We give an expository overview over recent results on the global structure and geometry of the Newton stratification of the reduction modulo p of Shimura varieties of Hodge type with hyperspecial level structure. More precisely, we discuss non-emptiness, dimensions, and closure relations of Newton strata. We also explain the group-theoretic description and methods leading to their proofs.

We propose a new stratification of the reduced subschemes of Rapoport-Zink spaces and of affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties that highlights the relation between the geometry of these spaces and the action of the associated automorphism group. We show that this provides a joint group-theoretic interpretation of well-known stratifications which only exist for special cases such as the Bruhat-Tits stratification of Vollaard and Wedhorn, the semi-module stratification of de Jong and Oort, and the locus where the a-invariant is equal to 1., Comment: 30 pages, final version, to appear in the Journal of Algebraic Geometry

This is a survey article that advertizes the idea that there should exist a theory of p-adic local analogues of Shimura varieties. Prime examples are the towers of rigid-analytic spaces defined by Rapoport-Zink spaces, and we also review their theory in the light of this idea. We also discuss conjectures on the $\ell$-adic cohomology of local Shimura varieties., Comment: 53 pages

We determine the set of connected components of minuscule affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties for special maximal compact subgroups of unramified connected reductive groups. Partial results are also obtained for non-minuscule closed affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties. We consider both the function field case and its analog in mixed characteristic. In particular, we determine the set of connected components of unramified Rapoport-Zink spaces., Comment: 69 pages, v2: final version. Numerous modifications to improve readability, and minor corrections. The main results are unchanged

We study the Ekedahl-Oort stratification for good reductions of Shimura varieties of PEL type. These generalize the Ekedahl-Oort strata defined and studied by Oort for the moduli space of principally polarized abelian varieties (the "Siegel case"). They are parameterized by certain elements w in the Weyl group of the reductive group of the Shimura datum. We show that for every such w the corresponding Ekedahl-Oort stratum is smooth, quasi-affine, and of dimension l(w) (and in particular non-empty). Some of these results have previously been obtained by Moonen, Vasiu, and the second author using different methods. We determine the closure relations of the strata. We give a group-theoretical definition of minimal Ekedahl-Oort strata generalizing Oort's definition in the Siegel case and study the question whether each Newton stratum contains a minimal Ekedahl-Oort stratum. We give necessary criteria when a given Ekedahl-Oort stratum and a given Newton stratum meet. We determine which Newton strata are non-empty. This criterion proves conjectures by Fargues and by Rapoport generalizing a conjecture by Manin for the Siegel case., Comment: Corrected some typos, rewrote some parts of Section 7.2; to appear in Math.

We generalize purity of the Newton stratification to purity for a single break point of the Newton point in the context of local G-shtukas respectively of elements of the loop group of a reductive group. As an application we prove that elements of the loop group bounded by a given dominant coweight satisfy a generalization of Grothendieck's conjecture on deformations of p-divisible groups with given Newton polygons., Comment: 15 pages; exposition improved, minor corrections

This paper studies two new kinds of affine Springer fibers that are adapted to the root valuation strata of Goresky-Kottwitz-MacPherson. In addition it develops various linear versions of Katz's Hodge-Newton decomposition., Comment: 35 pages

We study local G-shtukas with level structure over a base scheme whose Newton polygons are constant on the base. We show that after a finite base change and after passing to an \'etale covering, such a local G-shtuka is isogenous to a completely slope divisible one, generalizing corresponding results for p-divisible groups by Oort and Zink. As an application we establish a product structure up to finite morphism on the closed Newton stratum of the universal deformation of a local G-shtuka, similarly to Oort's foliations for p-divisible groups and abelian varieties. This also yields bounds on the dimensions of affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties and proves equidimensionality of affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties in the affine Grassmannian., Comment: 26 pages

We generalize the notion of Ekedahl-Oort strata to elements in the loop group of any connected reductive group, and call the resulting discrete invariant the truncation of level 1 of the element. We give conditions for the Newton points occurring among the elements of a given truncation of level 1 and especially for the generic Newton point in a given truncation stratum. We prove that truncation strata are locally closed and give a description of the closure of each stratum. We also translate our results back to the original Ekedahl-Oort stratification of the reduction modulo p of Shimura varieties., Comment: 22 pages, final version

The notions Hodge-Newton decomposition and Hodge-Newton filtration for F-crystals are due to Katz and generalize Messing's result on the existence of the local-\'etale filtration for p-divisible groups. Recently, some of Katz's classical results have been generalized by Kottwitz to the context of F-crystals with additional structures and by Moonen to $\mu$-ordinary p-divisible groups. In this paper, we discuss further generalizations to the situation of crystals in characteristic p and of p-divisible groups with additional structure by endomorphisms., Comment: 13 pages, minor corrections

We study the global structure of moduli spaces of quasi-isogenies of polarized p-divisible groups introduced by Rapoport and Zink. Using the corresponding results for non-polarized p-divisible groups from a previous paper, we determine their dimensions and their sets of connected components and of irreducible components., Comment: 19 pages

We determine the set of connected components of closed affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties for special maximal compact subgroups of split connected reductive groups. Especially, we show that such an affine Deligne-Lusztig variety has isolated points if and only if its dimension is 0. From the dimension formula for affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties we obtain a description of the set of these varieties that are zero-dimensional., Comment: 15 pages, some errors corrected, to appear in Mathematische Annalen

We prove Rapoport's dimension conjecture for affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties for GL_h and superbasic b. From this case the general dimension formula for affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties for special maximal compact subgroups of split groups follows, as was shown in a recent paper by Goertz, Haines, Kottwitz, and Reuman., Comment: 13 pages, some small mistakes corrected, author's last name changed from Mierendorff to Viehmann

We study the global structure of moduli spaces of quasi-isogenies of p-divisible groups introduced by Rapoport and Zink. We determine their dimensions and their sets of connected components and of irreducible components. If the isocrystals of the p-divisible groups are simple, we compute the cohomology of the moduli space. As an application we determine which moduli spaces are smooth., Comment: 25 pages, minor corrections, author's last name changed from Mierendorff to Viehmann, to appear in Journal of Algebraic Geometry
