Arithmetic level raising conjecture for unitary Shimura varieties

Let m\mathfrak{m} be a maximal ideal of the Hecke algebra, and assume Hypotheses~ and~. The relevant special fibre is denoted by \Sh1,n1ss{{\Sh}_{1,n-1}^{{\rm{ss}}}}, its ambient Shimura variety by \Sh1,n1{{\Sh}_{1,n-1}}, and \Sh1,n1\overline{{\Sh}}_{1,n-1} denotes its base change to an algebraic closure. Let kλk_\lambda be the coefficient field and let Ch1\operatorname{Ch}^1 and Heˊt\operatorname{H}_{\acute{e}t} denote the corresponding higher Chow group and étale cohomology group. Arithmetic level raising conjecture. Under the stated hypotheses, the level raising map

Ch1(\Sh1,n1ss,1,kλ)mH1(Fp2,Heˊt2n2(\Sh1,n1,kλ(n))m){\rm{Ch}}^1({{\Sh}_{1,n-1}^{{\rm{ss}}}},1,k_\lambda)_{\mathfrak{m}}\longrightarrow {\rm{H}}^1(\mathbb{F}_{p^2},{\rm{H}}_{\acute{e}t}^{2n-2}(\overline{{\Sh}}_{1,n-1},k_\lambda(n))_{\mathfrak{m}})

is surjective. This is presented as the arithmetic level raising theorem for the relevant unitary Shimura varieties; the supplied text does not establish the conjectural surjectivity.
