Let s be a special point on a Shimura variety, and x a pre-image of s in a fixed fundamental set of the associated Hermitian symmetric domain. We prove that the height of x is polynomially bounded with respect to the discriminant of the centre of the endomorphism ring of the corresponding Z-Hodge structure. Our bound is the final step needed to complete a proof of the Andre-Oort conjecture under the conjectural lower bounds for the sizes of Galois orbits of special points, using a strategy of Pila and Zannier.
We show Eicher-Shimura relations for some Shimura varieties of Hodge type, proving a conjecture of Blasius and Rogawski in this case. We show this using a parabolic reduction strategy on the Hecke action on irreducible components of affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties.
We give a classification, up to consideration of component groups, of sub-Shimura varieties of those Shimura Varieties attached to orthogonal groups of signature (2,n) over Q.
In these notes I proved the Chai-Faltings version of Eichler-Shimura congruence relation for simple GSpin Shimura varieties. This extends the results by Bueltel, Wedhorn and Koskivirta.
In this paper we study the action of complex conjugation on Shimura varieties and the problem of descending these to the maximal totally real field of the reflex field. We prove the existence of such descent for many Shimura varieties whose associated adjoint group has certain factors of type A or D. This includes a large family of Shimura varieties of abelian type. Our considerations and constructions are carried out purely at the level of Shimura data and group theory.
In this paper we formulate some conjectures about algebraic flows on Shimura varieties. In the first part of the paper we prove the `logarithmic Ax-Lindemann theorem'. We then prove a result concerning the topological closure of the images of totally geodesic subvarieties of symmetric spaces uniformising Shimura varieties. This is a special case of our conjectures.
In this paper, we introduce the notion of incoherent definite orthogonal and Hermitian spaces, and use their neighboring spaces as a tool for the local study of orthogonal and unitary Shimura varieties. This generalizes earlier work, using incoherent definite quaternion algebras in the local study of Shimura curves.
We prove that Shimura varieties of abelian type with infinite level at $p$ are perfectoid. As a corollary, the moduli spaces of polarized K3 surfaces with infinite level at $p$ are also perfectoid.
We determine the Galois representations inside the $l$-adic cohomology of some unitary Shimura varieties at split places where they admit uniformization by finite products of Drinfeld upper half spaces. Our main results confirm Langlands-Kottwitz's description of the cohomology of Shimura varieties in new cases.
We study "quadratic periods" on quaternionic Shimura varieties and formulate an integral refinement of Shimura's conjecture regarding Petersson inner products of automorphic forms that are related by the Jacquet-Langlands correspondence. The main result is that this integral refinement is implied by another conjecture (Conjecture D below) regarding integrality of theta lifts between certain quaternionic unitary groups.
This brief article gives an alternative interpretation, based on a theorem of Berkovich, of the Eisenstein classes in the cohomology of Shimura varieties, used in forthcoming work of the author with K. W. Lan, R. Taylor, and J. Thorne.
Using the p-adic uniformization of Shimura varieties we determine, for some of them, over which local fields they have rational points. Using this we show in some new curve cases that the jacobians are even in the sense of Poonen and Stoll.
For a new class of Shimura varieties of orthogonal type over a totally real number field, we construct special cycles and show the the modularity of Kudla's generating series in the cohomology group.
In this paper, we generalize a conjecture due to Darmon and Logan in an adelic setting. We study the relation between our construction and Kudla's works on cycles on orthogonal Shimura varieties. This relation allows us to conjecture a Gross-Kohnen-Zagier theorem for Darmon's points.
We give a formula for the class number of an arbitrary CM algebraic torus over $\mathbb{Q}$. This is proved based on results of Ono and Shyr. As applications, we give formulas for numbers of polarized CM abelian varieties, of connected components of unitary Shimura varieties and of certain polarized abelian varieties over finite fields. We also give a second proof of our main result.
We construct some $n$-dimensional eigenvarieties for finite slope overconvergent eigenforms over some unitary Shimura varieties with signature $(1,n-1)\times(0,n)\times\cdots\times(0,n)$ by adapting Andreatta-Iovita-Pilloni's method. We also show that there are some Galois pseudo-characters over our eigenvarieties by studying analytic continuation of finite slope eigenforms over these Shimura varieties.
The ultimate goal of the paper is to construct a novel norm-compatible family of cycles appearing in the context of Gross--Gan--Prasad cycles arising from Shimura varieties attached to $U(n-1,1)\hookrightarrow U(n,1) \times U(n-1,1)$ for arbitrary $n$.
In this article, we generalize the work of H.Hida and V.Pilloni to construct $p$-adic families of $μ$-ordinary modular forms on Shimura varieties of Hodge type $Sh(G,X)$ associated to a Shimura datum $(G,X)$ where $G$ is a connected reductive group over $\mathbb{Q}$ and is unramified at $p$, such that the adjoint quotient $G^\mathrm{ad}$ has no simple factors isomorphic to $\mathrm{PGL}_2$.
We prove vanishing results for the $0$th cohomology of automorphic line bundles on the Ekedahl--Oort strata of the special fiber of Hilbert--Blumenthal Shimura varieties. This work vastly extends to all Ekedahl--Oort strata previous results of Diamond--Kassaei and Goldring--Koskivirta. Furthermore, our results also cover the case of unitary Shimura varieties of rank $\leq 2$ attached to an arbitrary CM extension. We also prove a conjecture of Goldring--Koskivirta on the set of possible weights of automorphic forms.
We introduce a method for producing congruences between Hecke eigenclasses, possibly torsion, in the coherent cohomology of automorphic vector bundles on certain good reduction Shimura varieties. The congruences are produced using some "generalized Hasse invariants" adapted to the Ekedahl-Oort stratification of the special fiber.
We study the motivic cohomology of the special fiber of quaternionic Shimura varieties at a prime of good reduction. We exhibit classes in these motivic cohomology groups and use this to give an explicit geometric realization of level raising between Hilbert modular forms. The main ingredient for our construction is a form of Ihara's Lemma for compact quaternionic Shimura surfaces which we prove by generalizing a method of Diamond-Taylor. Along the way we also verify the Hecke orbit conjecture for these quaternionic Shimura varieties which is a key input for our proof of Ihara's Lemma.
We study the rigid cohomology of the ordinary locus in some compact PEL Shimura varieties of type C with values in automorphic local systems and use it to prove a small slope criterion for classicality of overconvergent Hecke eigenforms. This generalises the work of Coleman, and is a first step in an ongoing project to extend the cohomological approach to classicality to higher-dimensional Shimura varieties.
We consider the problem of defining an action of Hecke operators on the coherent cohomology of certain integral models of Shimura varieties. We formulate a general conjecture describing which Hecke operators should act integrally and solve the conjecture in certain cases. As a consequence, we obtain $p$-adic estimates of Satake parameters of certain non-regular self dual automorphic representations of $\mathrm{GL}_n$.
A particular case of Bergeron-Venkatesh's conjecture predicts that torsion classes in the cohomology of Shimura varieties are rather rare. According to this and for Kottwitz-Harris-Taylor type of Shimura varieties, we first associate to each such torsion class an infinity of irreducible automorphic representations in characteristic zero, which are pairwise non isomorphic and weakly congruent. Then, using completed cohomology, we construct torsion classes in regular weight and then deduce explicit examples of such automorphic congruences.
Mazur's principle gives a criterion under which an irreducible mod l Galois representation arising from a classical modular form of level Np (with p prime to N) also arises from a classical modular form of level N. We consider the analogous question for Galois representations arising from certain unitary Shimura varieties. In particular, we prove an analoge of Mazur's principle for U(2,1) Shimura varities. We also give a conjectural criterion for a Galois representation arising in the cohomology of a unitary Shimura variety whose level subgroup is parahoric at p to also arise in the cohomology…
In this paper we prove the equidistribution of bounded sequences of special subvarieties in a general mixed Shimura varieties, a notion adapted from the pure case treated by Clozel, Ullmo, and Yafaev in the study of the Andre-Oort conjecture. We also discuss the relation of bounded sequences with bounded Galois orbits of special subvarieties.
We generalize the local-global compatibility result in arXiv:1506.04022 to higher dimensional cases, by examining the relation between Scholze's functor and cohomology of Kottwitz-Harris-Taylor type Shimura varieties. Along the way we prove a cuspidality criterion from type theory. We also deal with compatibility for torsion classes in the case of semisimple mod $p$ Galois representations with distinct irreducible components under certain flatness hypotheses.
We develop Hida theory for Shimura varieties of type A without ordinary locus. In particular we show that the dimension of the space of ordinary forms is bounded independently of the weight and that there is a module of $Λ$-adic cuspidal ordinary forms which is of finite type over $Λ$, where $Λ$ is a twisted Iwasawa algebra.
Given a KHT Shimura variety provided with an action of its unramified Hecke algebra $\mathbb T$, we proved in a previous work, see also the work of Caraiani-Scholze for other PEL Shimura varieties, that its localized cohomology groups at a generic maximal ideal $\mathfrak m$ of $\mathbb T$, appear to be free. In this work, we obtain the same result for $\mathfrak m$ such that its associated Galois $\overline{\mathbb F}_l$-representation $\overline{ρ_{\mathfrak m}}$ is irreducible, under the hypothesis that $[F(\exp(2iπ/l):F]>d$ where $F$ is the reflex field, $d$ the dimension of the KHT Shimur…
We compare the conjecture of Buzzard-Gee on the association of Galois representations to C-algebraic automorphic representations with the conjectural description of the cohomology of Shimura varieties due to Kottwitz, and the reciprocity law at infinity due to Arthur. This is done by extending Langlands's representation of the L-group associated with a Shimura datum to a representation of the C-group of Buzzard-Gee. The approach offers an explanation of the explicit Tate twist appearing in Kottwitz's description.
We determine the Galois representations inside the $l$-adic cohomology of some quaternionic and related unitary Shimura varieties at ramified places. The main results generalize the previous works of Reimann and Kottwitz in this setting to arbitrary levels at $p$, and confirm the expected description of the cohomology due to Langlands and Kottwitz.
We apply the theory of Borcherds products to calculate arithmetic volumes (heights) of Shimura varieties of orthogonal type up to contributions from very bad primes. The approach is analogous to the well-known computation of their geometric volume by induction, using special cycles. A functorial theory of integral models of toroidal compactifications of those varieties and a theory of arithmetic Chern classes of integral automorphic vector bundles with singular metrics are used. We obtain some evidence in the direction of Kudla's conjectures on relations of heights of special cycles on these v…
Let $F$ be a totally real field in which a prime number $p>2$ is inert. We continue the study of the (generalized) Goren--Oort strata on quaternionic Shimura varieties over finite extensions of $\mathbb F_p$. We prove that, when the dimension of the quaternionic Shimura variety is even, the Tate conjecture for the special fiber of the quaternionic Shimura variety holds for the cuspidal $π$-isotypical component, as long as the two unramified Satake parameters at $p$ are not differed by a root of unity.
In this note, we discuss several forms of the Eichler-Shimura relation for the compactly supported cohomology of local Shimura varieties, using the work of Fargues-Scholze.
We construct a generalization of the Hasse invariant for any Shimura variety of PEL type A over a prime of good reduction, whose vanishing locus is the open and dense μ-ordinary locus.
We study the special fiber of the integral models for Shimura varieties of Hodge type with parahoric level structure constructed by Kisin and Pappas in [KP]. We show that when the group is residually split, the points in the mod $p$ isogeny classes have the form predicted by the Langlands Rapoport conjecture in [LR]. We also verify most of the He-Rapoport axioms for these integral models without the residually split assumption. This allows us to prove that all Newton strata are non-empty for these models.
We prove the Mumford--Tate conjecture for those abelian varieties over number fields whose extensions to C have attached adjoint Shimura varieties that are products of simple, adjoint Shimura varieties of certain Shimura types. In particular, we prove the conjecture for the orthogonal case (i.e., for the $B_n$ and $D_n^R$ Shimura types). As a main tool, we construct embeddings of Shimura varieties (whose adjoints are) of prescribed abelian type into unitary Shimura varieties of PEL type. These constructions implicitly classify the adjoints of Shimura varieties of PEL type.
In this paper, we investigate a general method to establish tame and norm relations for special cycles in Shimura varieties, using unitary cycles in odd orthogonal Shimura varieties as a guiding example.
We state an improved version of the conjecture of Langlands and Rapoport, and we prove the conjecture for a large class of Shimura varieties. In particular, we obtain the first proof of the (original) conjecture for Shimura varieties of PEL-type.
We describe recent work on the construction of well-behaved arithmetic models for large classes of Shimura varieties and report on progress in the study of these models.
Using the work of Fargues-Scholze, we prove a vanishing theorem for the generic unramified part of the cohomology of local Shimura varieties of general linear groups. This gives an alternative approach to vanishing results of Caraiani-Scholze for the cohomology of unitary Shimura varieties.
We prove the Mumford-Tate conjecture for those abelian varieties over number fields, whose simple factors of their adjoint Mumford-Tate groups have over $\dbR$ certain (products of) non-compact factors. In particular, we prove this conjecture for the orthogonal case ($B_n$ and $D_n^{\dbR}$ Shimura types). We construct embeddings of Shimura varieties of (whose adjoints are of prescribed abelian type) into unitary Shimura varieties. We also prove two general theorems involving Frobenius tori of abelian varieties over number fields.
We give a simple proof that Kottwitz's PEL type integral models of Shimura varieties admit closed embeddings into Siegel integral models. We also show that Rapoport's and Kottwitz's integral models agree with Kisin's integral models for relevant Shimura data.
