S=T for Shimura Varieties and Moduli Spaces of p-adic Shtukas
Zhiyou Wu
TL;DR
This work proves the $S=T$ conjecture for Shimura varieties of Hodge type by leveraging Scholze’s diamonds and v-stacks together with the Fargues–Scholze geometric Satake correspondence, establishing a local–global compatibility that identifies excursion operators with Hecke operators on shtuka moduli spaces. The authors define excursion operators via creation, partial Frobenius, and annihilation correspondences on moduli of shtukas and their Witt-vector variants, and prove $S=T$ first for moduli spaces of $p$-adic shtukas and then for Shimura varieties via integral period maps. A key outcome is the Eichler–Shimura relation in this context, derived by transporting the $S=T$ identity from shtukas to Shimura varieties through period morphisms. This framework deepens the connection between geometric Langlands methods in mixed and equal characteristic and provides a robust pathway to local-global compatibility in the Langlands program for Shimura data.
Abstract
We prove the $S=T$ conjecture proposed by Xiao--Zhu in \cite{2017arXiv170705700X}, making use of Scholze's theory of diamonds and v-stacks and Fargues--Scholze's geometric Satake equivalence. Following \cite{2018arXiv180205299X}, we deduce the Eichler--Shimura relation for Shimura varieties of Hodge type.
