Compatibility of canonical $\ell$-adic local systems on Shimura varieties, II
Stefan Patrikis
TL;DR
This work upgrades the canonical $G(Q_\\ell)$-local systems on Shimura varieties from adjoint-compatibility to full $G(Q_\\ell)$-compatibility, including crystalline compatibility. The strategy blends Drinfeld’s companion theory for reductive monodromy with recent integral-model results and prior adjoint-case analyses, enabling a robust $oldsymbol{ u}$-independence across all places. Under mild hypotheses on the center and real ranks of adjoint factors, there exists an integer $N$ and an integral model such that all $ ho_oldsymbol{ u}$ factor through the arithmetic fundamental group and their Frobenius conjugacy classes in $[G\sslash G](Q)$ are independent of $oldsymbol{ u}$, with a $G$-valued overconvergent $F$-isocrystal correspondence at primes dividing $p$. This represents a significant advance toward the Langlands–Rapoport program for non-abelian-type Shimura varieties by achieving strong compatibility and crystalline correspondence for full $G$-valued local systems.
Abstract
Let $(G, X)$ be a Shimura datum. In previous work with Christian Klevdal, we showed that the canonical $G(\mathbb{Q}_{\ell})$-valued local systems on Shimura varieties for $G$ form compatible systems after projection to the adjoint group of $G$. In this note, we strengthen this result to prove compatibility for the $G(\mathbb{Q}_{\ell})$-local systems themselves. We also include the crystalline compatibility, extending the adjoint case established in our joint work Jake Huryn, Kiran Kedlaya, and Christian Klevdal.
