In this talk, I will report on a joint project with Yichao Tian. Let p be a prime unramified in a totally real field F. The Goren-Oort stratification is defined by the vanishing locus of the partial Hasse-invariants; it is an analog of the stratification of modular curve mod p by the ordinary locus and the supersingular locus. We give explicit global description of the Goren-Oort stratification of the special fiber of the Hilbert modular variety for F.
