p-adic hyperbolicity of Shimura varieties
Series: Mathematics Colloquium
Location: MATH 501
Presenter: Xinwen Zhu, Stanford University
Abstract: A theorem of Borel says that any holomorphic map from a complex algebraic variety to a smooth arithmetic variety is automatically an algebraic map. The key ingredient is to show that any holomorphic map from the (poly) punctured disc to the Baily-Borel compactification of the arithmetic variety has no essential singularity.
I will discuss p-adic analogue of these facts for Shimura varieties of abelian type. Joint withAbhishek Oswal and Ananth Shankar (with an appendix by Anand Patel).
