Hecke Orbits on Globally Drinfeld-Uniformized Shimura Varieties Are p-adically Nowhere Dense
Abstract
Fix a projective unitary Shimura datum satisfying Varshavsky's global Drinfeld uniformization hypotheses at a place v| p of its reflex field E. Let 𝒮h be the base change of the Shimura variety to ℂp at a sufficiently small neat finite level. We prove that for every closed reduced algebraic subvariety Z⊂𝒮h with dim Z<dim 𝒮h, the p-adic closure of its full finite adelic Hecke orbit has empty interior in 𝒮h(ℂp). At certain compatible levels, the nowhere density theorem also holds for Shimura varieties associated with a related PEL datum having the same adjoint datum as Varshavsky's. Moreover, for every rational prime p and every integer d≥2, there is a projective unitary Shimura variety of dimension d−1 satisfying these uniformization hypotheses at a place above p for which the nowhere density theorem holds.
