On the Characterization of Complex Shimura Varieties
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we recall the construction and basic properties of complex Shimura varieties and show that these properties actually characterize them. This characterization immediately implies the explicit form of Kazhdan’s theorem on the conjugation of Shimura varieties. As a further corollary, we show that each Shimura variety corresponding to an adjoint group has a canonical model over its reflex field. We also indicate how this characterization implies the existence of a p-adic uniformization of certain unitary Shimura varieties. In the appendix we give a complete scheme-theoretic proof of Weil’s descent theorem.

A Characterization of Mumford Curves with Good Reduction
Mumford defines a certain type of Shimura curves of Hodge type, parametrizing polarized complex abelian fourfolds. It is the first example of non-PEL type Shimura varieties. In this paper, we study the good reduction of such curve in positive characteristics and give a characterization: a family has maiximal Higgs field and the corresponding Dieudonne crystal admits a special tensor decompositi...
متن کاملShimura varieties and the Selberg trace formula
This paper is a report on work in progress rather than a description of theorems which have attained their final form. The results I shall describe are part of an attempt to continue to higher dimensions the study of the relation between the Hasse-Weil zeta-functions of Shimura varieties and the Euler products associated to automorphic forms, which was initiated by Eichler, and extensively deve...
متن کاملSupersingular Locus of Hilbert Modular Varieties, Arithmetic Level Raising, and Selmer Groups
This article has three goals. First, we generalize the result of Deuring and Serre on the characterization of supersingular locus to all Shimura varieties given by totally indefinite quaternion algebras over totally real number fields. Second, we generalize the result of Ribet on arithmetic level raising to such Shimura varieties in the inert case. Third, as an application to number theory, we ...
متن کاملStability of Hodge Bundles and a Numerical Characterization of Shimura Varieties
Let U be a connected quasi-projective manifold and f : A → U a family of abelian varieties of dimension g. Suppose that the induced map U → Ag is generically finite and there is a compactification Y with complement S = Y \ U a normal crossing divisor such that Ω1Y (logS) is nef and ωY (S) is ample with respect to U . We characterize whether U is a Shimura variety only by numerical data attached...
متن کاملThe Combinatorics of Bernstein Functions
A construction of Bernstein associates to each cocharacter of a split p-adic group an element in the center of the Iwahori-Hecke algebra, which we refer to as a Bernstein function. A recent conjecture of Kottwitz predicts that Bernstein functions play an important role in the theory of bad reduction of a certain class of Shimura varieties (parahoric type). It is therefore of interest to calcula...
