Flatness conjecture for spin local models of split even orthogonal groups
Flatness conjecture for spin local models of split even orthogonal groups
Let be a discretely valued field with ring of integers , and let be the split even orthogonal group of rank . Let be a self-dual lattice chain, and let be its spin local model, defined as the closed subscheme of the naive local model whose exterior-power condition uses one of the two eigenspaces of the involution on . Let be the schematic closure of the generic fiber in . Flatness conjecture. The spin local model is -flat. Equivalently,
This conjecture asks whether the spin condition gives the flat closure of the generic orthogonal Grassmannian in every self-dual lattice-chain case. The paper's introduction reduces the claim to reducedness of the special fiber, but the supplied text gives no resolution.
