Some generalizations of Oort's conjecture
Abstract
For a prime p≥ 5, let 𝒮g be the moduli space over 𝔽̅p of g-dimensional principally polarized supersingular abelian varieties. We show that each of the following loci contains an open dense subscheme on which the principally polarized abelian varieties have automorphism group {±1}: (i) certain supersingular Ekedahl--Oort strata when g is even, (ii) the loci in 𝒮g with non-supersingular Ekedahl--Oort invariants of positive Coxeter type when g≥ 3, and (iii) the locus in 𝒮g with a-number at least $2$ when g≥ 4. Consequently, for g≥ 4, the complement in 𝒮g of the open locus where the automorphism group is {±1} has codimension at least $2$. These results confirm Oort's conjecture for p≥ 5. We reduce them to statements about affine Deligne--Lusztig varieties for GSp2g and prove analogues of (ii) for GL2g and GSO4m.
