p-adic Borel extension for local Shimura varieties
Abhishek Oswal, Georgios Pappas
TL;DR
The work proves a $p$-adic Borel extension theorem for moduli spaces of $p$-adic shtukas with framing, covering all local Shimura varieties associated to local shtuka data $(G,[b],\{\mu\})$, including exceptional groups. The main technique reduces to the GL$_n$ case and leverages the $p$-adic Riemann–Hilbert correspondence to extend de Rham local systems across boundaries, together with crystallinity criteria to control Frobenius structures. This yields a $p$-adic Brody hyperbolicity statement: morphisms from rational curves into these spaces are constant, in both diamonds and rigid-analytic settings over discretely valued bases. The results extend prior work of Oswal–Shankar–Zhu–Patel on Rapoport–Zink spaces to the full family of local Shimura varieties and illuminate hyperbolicity phenomena in the $p$-adic analytic landscape, with further questions about non-discretely valued fields and function-field analogues.
Abstract
We show that the moduli spaces of Scholze's $p$-adic shtukas with framing satisfy a $p$-adic rigid analytic version of Borel's extension theorem. In particular, this holds for local Shimura varieties, for all local Shimura data $(G,[b],\{μ\})$, even for exceptional groups $G$, and extends work of Oswal-Shankar-Zhu-Patel who proved a $p$-adic Borel extension property for Rapoport-Zink spaces. As a corollary, we deduce that all these spaces satisfy a $p$-adic rigid analytic version of Brody hyperbolicity.
