Pappas–Rapoport spin-condition conjecture for symplectic local models

Let L{\mathcal L} be a periodic self-dual lattice chain for the group and cocharacter under consideration. The spin local model MG,{μ},LspinM^{\mathrm{spin}}_{G,\{\mu\},{\mathcal L}} is defined by imposing the spin condition on the naive local model.

Pappas–Rapoport spin-condition conjecture. For any periodic self-dual lattice chain L{\mathcal L},

MG,{μ},Lspin=MG,{μ},Lloc,M^{\mathrm{spin}}_{G,\{\mu\},{\mathcal L}}=M^{\mathrm{loc}}_{G,\{\mu\},{\mathcal L}},

that is, MG,{μ},LspinM^{\mathrm{spin}}_{G,\{\mu\},{\mathcal L}} is flat over SpecOF\operatorname{Spec}{\mathcal O}_F.

The spin condition is intended to provide a moduli-theoretic description of the flat closure defining the local model. The cited work proposes this equality; the supplied source gives no resolution status.
