May 8, 2023 at 15:13 comment added LSpice TeX note: $\Gamma\setminus X$ \Gamma\setminus X, as the name suggests, is for set difference. For the quotient space, you want $\Gamma\backslash X$ \Gamma\backslash X. I edited accordingly.

May 8, 2023 at 14:36 comment added Moishe Kohan This is not the most general definition of a locally symmetric space.
May 8, 2023 at 13:56 comment added Donu Arapura I'm far from an expert, but I think it is helpful to start with examples, which have rich and beautiful geometries. In the simplest case: $G=SL_2$, then $X= SL_2(\mathbb{R})/SO_2$ is the upper half plane. Then $X(\Gamma)$ would include modular curves. In the next simplest case, $G$ is the Weil restriction of $SL_2$ of a real quadratic field, and $X(\Gamma)$ would be a Hilbert modular surface....

May 8, 2023 at 13:00 comment added Marsault Chabat No I'm asking if wether you want information about X or information about Gamma\X or both of them?
May 8, 2023 at 12:47 comment added Coherent Sheaf @MarsaultChabat yes, I am trying to find some motivation so that I can create a better picture in my head. For instance, when someone sees a redictive group, I don't think it is very natural to think that we should try and understand the geoemetry of this quotient. Or is it natural?
May 8, 2023 at 11:16 comment added Marsault Chabat Are you asking for a (motivating) reason for defining symmetric space, locally symmetric space, or both?
May 8, 2023 at 11:13 comment added Mikhail Borovoi See also papers referring to these two, expecially those by J. S. Milne.

May 8, 2023 at 10:51 comment added Mikhail Borovoi Some Shimura varieties (those of abelian type) classify abelian varieties with additional structure. See: Deligne, Pierre Travaux de Shimura.
