Rapoport's research focuses on advanced mathematical structures in Algebraic Geometry and Number Theory. His work explores Shimura varieties, moduli spaces of abelian varieties, and locally symmetric algebraic varieties, with a particular emphasis on their geometric and arithmetic properties. Additionally, he has contributed to the study of p-divisible groups, affine flag varieties, and G-bundles on curves, shaping theoretical frameworks in these domains.
His scholarly contributions include influential publications such as "Smooth compactifications of locally symmetric varieties" (2010) and "Period spaces for p-divisible groups" (1996). These works span topics like modular forms, special cycles, and coefficient spaces, reflecting a deep integration of geometry and number theory.
