Title: Local model of Shimura varieties in $\Gamma_0(p)$ and $\Gamma_1(p)$ levels

Time: 10:30-11:30am, Oct 24, 2019

Place: MCM110

Abstract: Local models of Shimura varieties are objects defined by linear algebra, which describe singularities of Shimura varieties at bad primes. In this exipository talk, we first give an instroduction to Pappas-Zhu's group-theoretic definition of local model in$\Gamma_0(p)$ level, then we quickly review the work of Haines-Stroh and our work in $\Gamma_1(p)$ level.
