Nice. Thanks!...

Wouldn't you expect the modular forms to be attached to automorphic reps of GSpin?

What about the mod $\ell$ representation though? Isn't it Barsotti-Tate under weaker assumptions?

No, in this case the first definition would be stronger. I'd recommend looking at a basic reference, like Serre's Local Fields.

If $k$ is the algebraic closure of the residue field of $F$, then the completion of $F^{nr}$ is exactly the compositum of $F$ and the fraction field of $W(k)$.

comment Status of Grothendieck’s conjecture on homomorphisms of abelian schemes
More precisely, what my comment shows is that we have $Hom(A_{\eta},B_{\eta})=Hom(A,B)$. So, by Zarhin, $u_{\ell}$ arises from an element of $Hom(A,B)\otimes\mathbb{Z}_{\ell}$. To check that some multiple of it actually lies in $Hom(A,B)$, it suffices to check that, for some point $s\in S$, the image in $Hom(A_s,B_s)\otimes\mathbb{Z}_{\ell}$ lies in $Hom(A_s,B_s)$.

comment Status of Grothendieck’s conjecture on homomorphisms of abelian schemes
Ah, that's right! I was being cavalier as usual. I think the existence of $u_s$ should force it to actually lie in $Hom(A_{\eta},B_{\eta})$.

comment Status of Grothendieck’s conjecture on homomorphisms of abelian schemes
Suppose that $S$ is a normal variety over $\mathbb{F}_p$ with generic point $\eta\to S$. Then, by Zarhin, there exists a homomorphism of the generic fibers $u_{\eta}:A_{\eta}\to B_{\eta}$ giving rise to $u_{\ell}$ (one doesn't even need the existence of $u_s$ for this). Now, by Proposition 2.7 in Chai-Faltings 'Degeneration of abelian varieties', $u_{\eta}$ extends over all of $S$. The idea basically is to use the Neronian property of abelian schemes to show that the closure of the graph of $u_{\eta}$ in $A\times B$ maps isomorphically onto $A$.

ulrich--That reference seems to answer the question as well as one could hope to. Maybe you should put it down as an answer?

comment Semicontinuity for complexes
I think with the $^L$ the perfectness is what you need (I wonder if it's actually necessary). Without the $^L$, you probably need to require that the cohomology of $F$ is flat over $Y$ (I'm guessing $F$ is bounded).

hmm...is that a contradiction if one is taking derived tensor products like the OP is doing?

comment Semicontinuity for complexes
ulrich--Is that because, locally on $Y$, every coherent sheaf admits a finite free resolution? Also, that reminds me that I should have added the adverb 'locally' in front of quasi-isomorphic.

comment Semicontinuity for complexes
Call the morphism $\pi$. I think you're good if $R\pi_*F$ is quasi-isomorphic to a perfect complex. This is true if $F$ is flat over $Y$, and as far as I can tell is the only non-trivial input in this case.

comment global units on moduli spaces of abelian varieties
If you allow yourself to invert all the primes whose squares divide $d$, $A_{g,d,1}$ (as a stack) admits a compactification (the so-called minimal or Baily-Borel-Satake compactification) with normal, geometric irreducible fibers, and whose boundary has codimension at least $2$. In particular, one does not expect to find any interesting units in this case.

comment On Weil’s characters of type (A)
Hi Hugo, you're right! I was confused about why I seemed to be getting post facto that $f_{\sigma\iota}+f_{\bar{\sigma}\iota}$ was independent also of $\sigma$. But of course I need to show this a priori! I'll see if I can fix the argument.

See Laurent Fargues's great article 'Motives and automorphic forms: the potentially abelian case', available here: www-irma.u-strasbg.fr/~fargues/Motifs_abeliens.pdf It's Proposition 1.12.

comment Absorbing ramification and factoring finite flat maps
You might want to look at Abhyankar's Lemma and its variations. See SGA 1, Exp. XIII, Appendice I, which says that if $Y$ is regular, and $\phi$ is tamely ramified, then you can remove the ramification via an appropriate base change of $Y$. There's also the Nagata-Zariski purity theorem (SGA 1, Exp. X, Theoreme 3.1), which says that, when $Y$ is regular and $X$ normal, then the locus in $Y$ where $\phi$ is ramified has to be of pure co-dimension $1$.

comment Stein factorization and flatness
This might or might not be helpful: If $Y$ is reduced, then the flatness of $f_*\mathcal{O}_X$ is equivalent to its formation being compatible with arbitrary base-change.

Moreover, they have to satisfy the condition that the cokernel of $\phi$ is killed by $u^e$ (that's the reduction of the Eisenstein; $e$ is the ramification index of $K$).

comment sign in the polarization of Hodge structures
I've also been confused by this issue, but as for your question 1: the answer is that the natural pairing on primitive cohomology is a polarization up to $(-1)^{n(n+1)/2}$. This of course seems to disagree with your sign by a factor of $(-1)^n$!
