in the Langlands correspondence due to Abe, we build a correspondence between certain
rank 2 local systems and certain Barsotti–Tate groups on complete curves over a finite field.
We conjecture that such Barsotti–Tate groups “come from” a family of fake elliptic curves. As
an application of these ideas, we provide a criterion for being a Shimura curve over 𝔽 q.
Along the way we formulate a conjecture on the field-of-coefficients of certain compatible …
