The generic fiber of moduli spaces of bounded local -shtukas
arXiv:1712.07936
Abstract
Moduli spaces of bounded local -shtukas are a group-theoretic generalization of the function field analog of Rapoport and Zink's moduli spaces of -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 -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 -adic cohomology of these towers.
