Isospectrality determines the zeta functions of canonical models

From papers

Let tildeGtilde{G} be the group occurring in the Shimura-variety construction, let tildeK1,tildeK2tilde{K}_1,tilde{K}_2 be compact open subgroups of tildeG(F)tilde{G}(F), and let ΓK1,ΓK2\Gamma_{K_1},\Gamma_{K_2} be the associated lattices. Assume that these lattices are torsion-free modulo their centers. Let MK1M_{K_1} and MK2M_{K_2} be the associated spaces, and let MtildeK1M_{tilde{K}_1} and MtildeK2M_{tilde{K}_2} be their corresponding non-connected Shimura varieties with canonical models.

Canonical-model zeta conjecture. If MK1M_{K_1} and MK2M_{K_2} are isospectral, then the Hasse–Weil zeta functions of the canonical models of MtildeK1M_{tilde{K}_1} and MtildeK2M_{tilde{K}_2} are equal.

The conjecture refines the earlier question for connected arithmetic curves by using the better-behaved non-connected Shimura varieties associated with inner forms of GL(2)GL(2). The supplied text gives no resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
