Rapoport's surjectivity conjecture for Newton strata of parahoric Shimura varieties

Let ShKpSh_{K_p} be a PEL Shimura variety with standard parahoric level subgroup KpK_p, and let

δKp:ShKp(k)B(G,μ)\delta_{K_p}:Sh_{K_p}(k)\longrightarrow B(G,\mu)

be the map sending a point to the c3c3-conjugacy class of its associated isocrystal. The fibers of this map are the Newton strata, and the basic locus is the inverse image of B(G,μ)B(G)basicB(G,\mu)\cap B(G)_{basic}. Rapoport's conjecture. The map

δKp:ShKp(k)B(G,μ)\delta_{K_p}:Sh_{K_p}(k)\longrightarrow B(G,\mu)

is surjective. In particular, the basic locus is nonempty. This asserts that every admissible Newton stratum occurs on the special fiber of the Shimura variety. The surrounding discussion identifies this as a fundamental conjecture; no resolution is supplied here.
