Integral models of certain PEL-Shimura varieties with $Γ_1(p)$-type level structure

We study $p$-adic integral models of certain PEL Shimura varieties with level subgroup at $p$ related to the $Γ_1(p)$-level subgroup in the case of modular curves. We will consider two cases: the case of Shimura varieties associated with unitary groups that split over an unramified extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$ and the case of Siegel modular varieties. We construct local models, i.e. simpler schemes which are étale locally isomorphic to the integral models. Our integral models are defined by a moduli scheme using the notion of an Oort-Tate generator of a group scheme. We use these local models to find a resolution of the integral model in the case of the Siegel modular variety of genus 2. The resolution is regular with special fiber a nonreduced divisor with normal crossings.
