Abstract

The Hecke-orbit conjecture, proposed by Chai and Oort, gives strong restrictions on the shape of Hecke-invariant subvarieties of special fibers of Shimura varieties. It consists of a continuous part, which predicts the dimensions of Hecke orbits, and a discrete part, which predicts that certain subvarieties called central leaves are irreducible. In this talk I will give an introduction to the discrete part of the Hecke orbit conjecture, focussing mostly on explicit low-dimensional examples, and discuss a geometric proof for Shimura varieties of Hodge type.
