Idea

In arithmetic geometry over a finite field a shtuka on an arithmetic scheme is essentially an equivariant algebraic vector bundle on the product of the scheme with a given arithmetic curve, where equivariance is with respect to the action of the Frobenius endomorphism (e.g. Scholze-Weinstein, def. 1).

(Shtuka is a Russian word colloquially meaning “thing”.)
