TLDR
In this paper, a further refinement to their moduli problem is proposed, which is both necessary and sufficient to characterize the (flat) local model in a certain special maximal parahoric case with signature (n− 1, 1).
Abstract
Local models are schemes which are intended to model the etalelocal structure of p-adic integral models of Shimura varieties. Pappas and Zhu have recently given a general group-theoretic construction of flat local models with parahoric level structure for any tamely ramified group, but it remains an interesting problem to characterize the local models, when possible, in terms of an explicit moduli problem. In the setting of local models for ramified, quasi-split GUn, work towards an explicit moduli description was initiated in the general framework of Rapoport and Zink’s book and was subsequently advanced by Pappas and Pappas–Rapoport. In this paper we propose a further refinement to their moduli problem, which we show is both necessary and sufficient to characterize the (flat) local model in a certain special maximal parahoric case with signature (n− 1, 1).

Regular formal moduli spaces and arithmetic transfer conjectures

TL;DR: In this article, the authors define various formal moduli spaces of p-divisible groups which are regular, and morphisms between them, and formulate arithmetic transfer conjectures, which are variants of the arithmetic fundamental lemma conjecture in the presence of ramification.

Local models of Shimura varieties and a conjecture of Kottwitz

TL;DR: In this paper, a group theoretic definition of local models of Grassmannian degenerations of Shimura varieties has been given, which are obtained by extending constructions of Beilinson, Drinfeld, Gaitsgory and the second-named author to mixed characteristics and to the case of general reductive groups.
