Rapoport-Viehmann's local Shimura variety conjecture

Let (G,[b],{μ})(G,[b],\{\mu\}) be a local Shimura datum over Qp\mathbb{Q}_p, with local reflex field EE, flag variety FG,μ\mathscr{F}\ell_{G,\mu} over E˘\breve{E}, weakly admissible locus FG,μwa\mathscr{F}\ell_{G,\mu}^{wa}, and associated group JbJ_b. Rapoport–Viehmann's conjecture. There is a tower of rigid analytic spaces (MK)K(\mathcal{M}_K)_K over SpE˘\operatorname{Sp}\breve{E}, indexed by the open compact subgroups KK of G(Qp)G(\mathbb{Q}_p), such that Jb(Qp)J_b(\mathbb{Q}_p) acts on each MK\mathcal{M}_K, G(Qp)G(\mathbb{Q}_p) acts on the tower by Hecke correspondences, the tower has a Weil descent datum over EE, and there is a compatible system of étale and partially proper period maps

πK:MKFG,μwa\pi_K:\mathcal{M}_K\rightarrow\mathscr{F}\ell_{G,\mu}^{wa}

that are equivariant for Jb(Qp)J_b(\mathbb{Q}_p). This conjecture predicts the existence and basic structure of local Shimura varieties, including their symmetries, descent, and period maps. The source further notes a more precise expected description of the image of the period maps, but that refinement is separate from the stated tower conjecture.
