Incoherent definite spaces and Shimura varieties

Number Theory 2020-05-12 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the notion of incoherent definite orthogonal and Hermitian spaces, and use their neighboring spaces as a tool for the local study of orthogonal and unitary Shimura varieties. This generalizes earlier work, using incoherent definite quaternion algebras in the local study of Shimura curves.
