Rapoport-Zink spaces of type GU(2,n-2)

Abstract

We describe the structure of the supersingular Rapoport-Zink space associated to the group of unitary similitudes of signature (2,n-2) for an unramified quadratic extension of p-adic fields. In earlier work, two of the authors described the irreducible components in the category of schemes-up-to-perfection. The goal of this work is to remove the qualifier "up-to-perfection".
