Serre–Tate theory for moduli spaces of PEL type
A dimension formula for Ekedahl-Oort strata
We study the Ekedahl-Oort stratification on moduli spaces of PEL type. The strata are indexed by the classes in a Weyl group modulo a subgroup, and each class has a distinguished representative of minimal length. The main result of this paper is that the dimension of a stratum equals the length of the corresponding Weyl group element. We also discuss some explicit examples.
