Abstract
Let be a smooth curve over a finite field of characteristic . We prove that there are finitely many principally polarized abelian schemes of given dimension over up to -power isogeny. For curves over , we prove that the moduli space of such abelian schemes is finite type up to -power isogeny. Moreover, we generalize this result to arbitrary (not necessarily abelian type) Shimura varieties and sufficiently large primes in terms of : The space of generically ordinary morphisms (resp. is finite (resp. finite type) up to -Hecke orbits.
