This chapter explains the algebraic construction of toroidal compactifications. For this purpose the chapter utilizes the theory of toroidal embeddings for torsors under groups of multiplicative type. Based on this theory, the chapter begins the general construction of local charts on which degeneration data for PEL structures are tautologically associated. The next important step is the description of good formal models, and good algebraic models approximating them. The correct formulation of necessary properties and the actual construction of these good algebraic models are the key to the gluing process in the étale topology. In particular, this includes the comparison of local structures using certain Kodaira–Spencer morphisms. As a result of gluing, this chapter obtains the arithmetic toroidal compactifications in the category of algebraic stacks. The chapter is concluded by a study of Hecke actions on towers of arithmetic toroidal compactifications.Less

This chapter elaborates on the representability of the moduli problems defined in the previous chapter. The treatment here is biased towards the prorepresentability of local moduli and Artin's criterion of algebraic stacks. The geometric invariant theory or the theory of Barsotti–Tate groups has been set aside: the argument is very elementary and might be considered outdated by the experts in this area. The chapter, however, discusses the Kodaira–Spencer morphisms of abelian schemes with PEL structures, which are best understood via the study of deformation theory. It also considers the proof of the formal smoothness of local moduli functors, illustrating how the linear algebraic assumptions are used.Less
