A Dieudonné theory for analytic p-divisible groups and applications to Shimura varieties

Abstract: We study families of analytic $p$-divisible groups over adic spaces $S$ defined over $\mathbb{Q}_p$. We prove an equivalence between such families and Hodge-Tate triples, generalizing a theorem of Fargues. For a perfectoid space $S$, we construct a functor associating to an analytic $p$-divisible group $\mathcal{G} \rightarrow S$ a coherent sheaf $\mathcal{E}(\mathcal{G})$ on the relative Fargues--Fontaine curve $X_S$. Restricting to analytic $p$-divisible groups admitting a Cartier dual, we obtain an equivalence of categories with local shtukas satisfying a minuscule condition, compatible with the prismatic Dieudonné theory of Anschütz--Le Bras. We conclude with applications to moduli spaces: we show that the local Shimura varieties of EL and PEL types of Scholze--Weinstein are moduli spaces of analytic $p$-divisible groups with extra structure, and we give a reinterpretation of the Hodge--Tate period map of Scholze in terms of topologically $p$-torsion subgroups of abelian varieties.
