Abstract

We prove a variant of the reciprocity laws for CM abelian varieties, CM K3 surfaces, and CM points on Shimura varieties. Given a CM object over the complex numbers, our variation describes the set of all models over a given number field FF in terms of associated representations of the absolute Galois group of FF. An essential feature is that we work with stacky Shimura varieties to deal with objects that have non-trivial automorphisms. To prove the result on K3 surfaces, we show that the stack of polarized K3 surfaces of given degree is an open substack of a certain Shimura stack. The precise statement of this folklore fact seems to be missing from the literature.
