A Shimura variety is a higher-dimensional analog of a modular curve.
A Shimura datum is a pair where is a reductive group and is a -conjugacy class of homorphisms , where .
Given a Shimura datum and a sufficiently small compact open subgroup of (where is the finite adeles), the quotient
can be realized as a quasi-projective variety over (and actually over a canonical number field called the reflex field that depends on the Shimura datum). The inverse limit over all sufficiently small compact subgroups is called a Shimura variety.
