Abstract

We characterize the nonemptiness and dimension problems for an affine Deligne–Lusztig variety Xx(b) in the affine flag variety in terms of galleries that are positively folded with respect to a chimney. If the parabolic subgroup associated to the Newton point of b has rank 1, we then prove nonemptiness for a certain class of Iwahori–Weyl group elements x by explicitly constructing such galleries

Keywords
