The p-adic nowhere density conjecture for Hecke orbits of positive-dimensional subvarieties

Let Sh\mathcal{S}h be a Shimura variety and let ZShZ\subseteq\mathcal{S}h be a positive-dimensional subvariety. Denote by the Hecke orbit of ZZ the union of its images under the Hecke operators, viewed as a subset of the pp-adic analytic space Sh(Cp)\mathcal{S}h(\mathbb{C}_p). The p-adic nowhere density conjecture. The Hecke orbit of ZZ is pp-adically nowhere dense in Sh(Cp)\mathcal{S}h(\mathbb{C}_p). This is a higher-dimensional analogue of the known nowhere-density results for Hecke orbits of points on PEL-type Shimura varieties with good reduction at pp. The conjecture concerns the geometry of positive-dimensional subvarieties stable under Hecke operators and remains open in the stated generality.
