Pappas's corrected local model flatness conjecture for orthogonal groups
Let be a field with discriminant algebra , let be the associated quadratic space of dimension , and let be the corrected local model obtained from the naive local model after base change to the integral closure and imposing
The scheme is regarded as an -scheme via its structural morphism.
Corrected local model flatness conjecture. The scheme is flat over
The correction is designed to repair the non-flatness of naive local models while preserving the generic fiber. The source proposes this flatness as a conjecture and gives no resolution in the supplied text.
