Partial Hasse invariants for Shimura varieties of Hodge-type

For a connected reductive group G over a finite field, we define partial Hasse invariants on the stack of G-zip flags. We obtain similar sections on the flag space of Shimura varieties of Hodge-type. They are mod p automorphic forms which cut out a single codimension one stratum. We study their properties and show that such invariants admit a natural factorization through higher rank automorphic vector bundles. We define the socle of an automorphic vector bundle, and show that partial Hasse invariants lie in this socle.
