Shimura varieties with $\Gamma_1(p)$-level via Hecke algebra isomorphisms: the Drinfeld case

Abstract

We study the local factor at p of the semi-simple zeta function of a Shimura variety of Drinfeld type for a level structure given at p by the pro-unipotent radical of an Iwahori subgroup. Our method is an adaptation to this case of the Langlands-Kottwitz counting method. We use Hecke algebra isomorphisms to determine the test functions at p.
