1.1. Shimura varieties are like a brightly colored toy. The motivation for their study comes from considering moduli spaces of Hodge structures. LetX be a smooth, complex, projective variety of dimension n. The lattice Λ = H(X,Z)/torsion (the singular cohomology in middle degree) carries extra structures beyond that of a free abelian group, in virtue of the fact that X is a complex variety. (1)...

In this paper. (1) We determine the complex-valued solutions of the following variant of Van Vleck's functional equation $$int_{S}f(sigma(y)xt)dmu(t)-int_{S}f(xyt)dmu(t) = 2f(x)f(y), ;x,yin S,$$ where $S$ is a semigroup, $sigma$ is an involutive morphism of $S$, and $mu$ is a complex measure that is linear combinations of Dirac measures $(delta_{z_{i}})_{iin I}$, such that for all $iin I$, $z_{...
