Summary

Dongryul Kim presents a perspective on Igusa stacks as providing a uniformization of p-adic Shimura varieties. He defines Igusa stacks using v-sheaves, the Hodge-Tate period map, and the Fargues-Fontaine curve, and states a main theorem asserting their uniqueness and functoriality. The proof uses deformation theory and p-adic Hodge theory. The talk covers applications, including existence for all Hodge-type Shimura varieties via embeddings into GSp, and potential applications to compactifications. The presentation is technical, aimed at researchers in arithmetic geometry.
