Vanishing theorems for Shimura varieties at unipotent level
arXiv:1910.09214 · doi:10.4171/JEMS/1195
Abstract
We show that the compactly supported cohomology of Shimura varieties of Hodge type of infinite -level (defined with respect to a Borel subgroup) vanishes above the middle degree, under the assumption that the group of the Shimura datum splits at . This generalizes and strengthens the vanishing result proved in "Shimura varieties at level and Galois representations". As an application of this vanishing theorem, we prove a result on the codimensions of ordinary completed homology for the same groups, analogous to conjectures of Calegari--Emerton for completed (Borel--Moore) homology.
