\(p\)-adic uniformization of unitary Shimura varieties (Q1594568)

Let \(\Gamma\) be a torsion-free cocompact arithmetic subgroup of \(\text{PGU}_{d-1,1} (\mathbb R)^0\). If \(B^{d-1}\) is the unit ball in \(\mathbb C^{d-1}\), then the quotient \(X_\Gamma = \Gamma \backslash B^{d-1}\) has a canonical structure of a projective variety over some number field \(K\). Given a prime \(w\) of \(K\), the variety \(X_\Gamma\) is said to have a \(p\)-adic uniformization if the \(K_w\)-analytic space \((X_\Gamma \otimes_K K_w)^{\text{an}}\) is isomorphic to \(\Delta \backslash \Omega\) for some \(p\)-adic analytic symmetric space \(\Omega\) and a discrete subgroup \(\Delta\) acting on \(\Omega\). In such a case a formal scheme structure on \(\Delta \backslash \Omega\) determines an \(\mathcal O_{K_w}\)-integral model for \(X_\Gamma \otimes_K K_w\). In this paper the author proves that certain unitary Shimura varieties \(X_\Gamma\) and automorphic vector bundles on \(X_\Gamma\) have a \(p\)-adic uniformization.
