Galois group of shimura varieties with different level structure
Let $(G,X)$ be a shimura data, and $K$ an open compact neat subgroup of $G(\mathbb A_f)$. Suppose $K'\subset K$ is open and normal, then, I see in many references that the finite etale cover $Sh(G,X)_{...

Descend local system to the canonical model of Shimura varieties
Suppose $(G,X)$ is a Shimura data, and $E$ be its reflex field. In page 33 of this paper, it constructs an etale local system on the canonical model $\mathrm{Sh}(G,X)_{K,E}$ (variety over $E$) for any ...
