The regularity conjecture for the quasi-canonical intersection space

For 0rn0\leq r\leq n, let N~n[r]\widetilde{\mathcal{N}}^{[r]}_n be the formal scheme constructed from the relevant Rapoport--Zink spaces, and let pp be the residue characteristic. Regularity and tame normal-crossings conjecture. The formal scheme N~n[r]\widetilde{\mathcal{N}}^{[r]}_n is regular, and its special fiber is a tame divisor with normal crossings: for every geometric point xx, there are regular parameters X1,,XnX_1,\ldots,X_n in the completed local ring such that

ϖ=i=1nXimi,\varpi=\prod_{i=1}^n X_i^{m_i},

where each mim_i is prime to pp. This local-structure conjecture would provide the regularity and controlled reduction needed for the arithmetic intersection theory developed in the paper; the general structure is described as mysterious.
