Abstract

In this paper, we give a different proof of a theorem of Paul Breutmann: for a Bruhat–Tits group scheme $\mathcal{H}$ over a smooth projective curve $X$ and a closed embedding into another smooth affine group scheme $\mathcal{G}$, the induced map on the moduli of Shtukas $\operatorname{Sht}^r_{\mathcal{H}} \to \operatorname{Sht}^r_{\mathcal{G}}$ is schematic, finite and unramified. This result enables one to define special cycles on the moduli stack of Shtukas.

Keywords
