On the Hodge-Newton filtration for p-divisible groups with additional structures

Abstract

We prove that, for a $p$-divisible group with additional structures over a complete valuation ring of rank one $O_K$ with mixed characteristic $(0,p)$, if the Newton polygon and the Hodge polygon of its special fiber possess a non trivial contact point, which is a break point for the Newton polygon, then it admits a "Hodge-Newton filtration" over $O_K$. The proof is based on the theories of Harder-Narasimhan filtration of finite flat group schemes and admissible filtered isocrystals. We then apply this result to the study of some larger class of Rapoport-Zink spaces and Shimura varieties than those studied previously by Mantovan, and confirm some new cases of Harris's conjecture.
