Arithmetic compactifications of integral models of Shimura varieties of abelian type

Abstract

In this paper, we construct good toroidal and minimal compactifications in the sense of Lan-Stroh for integral models of abelian-type Shimura varieties. We start with finding suitable types of cusp labels and cone decompositions which are compatible with those of the associated Hodge-type Shimura varieties. We then study the action of $\mathbb{Q}$-points of the adjoint group on boundary charts and toroidal compactifications of Hodge-type integral models. In particular, we extend the twisting construction of Kisin and Pappas to boundary charts. Finally, up to taking refinements of cone decompositions, we construct an abelian-type toroidal compactification as an open and closed algebraic subspace of a quotient from a disjoint union of Hodge-type toroidal compactifications and construct minimal compactifications with a similar method. Furthermore, we show results on nearby cycles of these compactifications and verify Pink's formula when the level at $p$ is an intersection of $n$ quasi-parahoric subgroups.
