Cohomological smoothness conjecture for the non-very-special locus

About 1 year old · traced to

Let Mb,[μ]τ\mathscr{M}_{b,[\mu]}^\tau be the fixed-determinant fiber of the moduli diamond, and let Mb,[μ]τ,vsp\mathscr{M}_{b,[\mu]}^{\tau,\mathrm{vsp}} be the very special locus, consisting of points whose intersection of the fibers of the Hodge–Tate and Hodge period maps is not isolated. Denote its open complement by

Mb,[μ]τ,non-vsp.\mathscr{M}_{b,[\mu]}^{\tau,\mathrm{non\text{-}vsp}}.

Cohomological smoothness conjecture. The structure morphism

Mb,[μ]τ,non-vsp⟶Spd⁡Cp\mathscr{M}_{b,[\mu]}^{\tau,\mathrm{non\text{-}vsp}}\longrightarrow\operatorname{Spd}\mathbb{C}_p

is cohomologically smooth. This is the precise conjecture formulated for the non-very-special locus; the source’s abstract says that it is proved for EL infinite-level Rapoport–Zink spaces, whereas its general status is not resolved by the supplied excerpt.
