In this paper we study the p-adic analytic geometry of the basic unitary group Rapoport–Zink spaces MK with signature (1, n − 1). Using the theory of Harder–Narasimhan filtration of finite flat groups developed in Fargues (Journal für die reine und angewandteMathematik 645:1–39, 2010), Fargues (Théorie de la réduction pour les groupes p-divisibles, prépublications. http://www.math.jussieu.fr/~fargues/ Prepublications.html, 2010), and the Bruhat–Tits stratification of the reduced special fiber Mred defined in Vollaard and Wedhorn (Invent. Math. 184:591–627, 2011), we find some relatively compact fundamental domain DK in MK for the action of G(Qp)×Jb(Qp), the product of the associated p-adic reductive groups, and prove that MK admits a locally finite cell decomposition. By considering the action of regular elliptic elements on these cells, we establish a Lefschetz trace formula for these spaces by applying Mieda’s main theorem in Mieda (Lefschetz trace formula for open adic spaces (Preprint). arXiv:1011.1720, 2013).

We prove that the distribution of eigenvectors of generalizedWigner matrices is universal both in the bulk and at the edge. This includes a probabilistic version of local quantum unique ergodicity and asymptotic normality of the eigenvector entries. The proof relies on analyzing the eigenvector flow under the Dyson Brownian motion. The key new ideas are: (1) the introduction of the eigenvector moment flow, a multi-particle random walk in a random environment, (2) an effective estimate on the regularity of this flow based on maximum principle and (3) optimal finite speed of propagation holds for the eigenvector moment flow with very high probability.

In this paper, we explore the connections between the Minimal Model Program and the theory of Berkovich spaces. Let k be a field of characteristic zero and letX be a smooth and projective k((t))-variety with semi-ample canonical divisor. We prove that the essential skeleton of X coincides with the skeleton of any minimal dlt-model and that it is a strong deformation retract of the Berkovich analytification of X. As an application, we show that the essential skeleton of a Calabi-Yau variety over k((t)) is a pseudo-manifold.

Varagnolo and Vasserot conjectured an equivalence between the category O for CRDAHA’s and a subcategory of an affine parabolic category O of type A. We prove this conjecture. As applications, we prove a conjecture of Rouquier on the dimension of simple modules of CRDAHA’s and a conjecture of Chuang–Miyachi on the Koszul duality for the category O of CRDAHA’s.
