Its equidistribution properties in $X({\\bf C})$ and in the reductions of $X$ modulo primes different from $p$ are well understood. We study the equidistribution problem in the Berkovich analytification $X_{p}^{\\rm an}$ of $X_{{\\bf Q}_{p}}$. We partition the set of CM points of sufficiently high conductor in $X_{{\\bf Q}_{p}}$ into finitely many \\emph{basins} $B_{V}$, indexed by the irreducible components $V $ of the mod-$p$ reduction of the canonical model of $X$. We prove that a sequence $z_{n}$ of local Galois orbits of CM points with $p$-conductor going to infinity has a limit in $X_{p}^{\\rm an}$ if and only if it is eventually supported in a single basin $B_{V}$. If so, the limit is the unique point of $X_{p}^{\\rm an}$ whose mod-$p$ reduction is the generic point of $V$. The result is proved in the more general setting of Shimura curves over totally real fields. The proof combines Gross's theory of quasicanonical liftings with a new formula for the intersection numbers of CM curves and vertical components in a Lubin--Tate space.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-04-16T14:53:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11G15", "14K22" ], "keywords": [ "cm points", "p-adic equidistribution", "local galois orbits", "equidistribution properties", "modulo primes" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 21, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
