Higher coherent coholomogy of Shimura varieties

One can attach certain complex analytic functions to algebraic varieties defined over the rational numbers, called Zeta functions. They are a vast generalization of Riemann’s zeta function. The Hasse-Weil conjecture predicts that these Zeta functions satisfy a functional equation and admit a meromorphic continuation to the whole complex plane. This follows from the conjectural Langlands program, which aims in particular at proving that Zeta functions of algebraic varieties are products of automorphic L-functions. Automorphic forms belong to the representation theory of reductive groups but certain automorphic forms actually appear in the cohomology of locally symmetric spaces, and in…
