Abstract: We study the geometry of unitary Shimura varieties without assuming the existence of an ordinary locus. We prove, by a simple argument, the existence of canonical subgroups on a strict neighborhood of the mu-ordinary locus (with an explicit bound). We then define the overconvergent modular forms (of classical weight), as well as the relevant Hecke operators. Finally, we show how an analytic continuation argument can be adapted to this case to prove a classicality theorem, namely that an overconvergent modular form which is an eigenform for the Hecke operators is classical under certain assumptions.


Congruences between modular forms on Shimura varieties such as Siegel modular varieties or Hilbert modular varieties have been studied using \(p\)-adic modular forms and overconvergent modular forms. Early work on these was based on the fact that the ordinary locus is an open dense subset of the variety. To deal with more general Shimura varieties where the ordinary locus may be empty, \textit{T. Wedhorn} [Ann. Sci. Éc. Norm. Supér. (4) 32, No. 5, 575--618 (1999; Zbl 0983.14024)] introduced the \(\mu\)-ordinary locus, showing that it is open and dense for Shimura varieties of PEL-type. In this paper, the author studies Shimura varieties of unitary type. The main result is that an overconvergent modular form (satisfying a certain technical condition) on such a variety is classical, i.e., it can be analytically continued from a strict neighbourhood of the \(\mu\)-ordinary locus to the entire variety. Along the way, the author constructs certain canonical subgroups, and describes the relevant Hecke operators.
