Many authors have studied the 2-adic representations coming from the Shimura varieties associated to GL 2 and its inner forms, first over II~ and more recently over arbitrary totally real fields. Langlands has sketched a program to handle all Shimura varieties (see [L1, L2]) and the introduction to [L3]), but much work remains to be done before this program can be carried out. Fortunately GL2 is not the only group to give rise to simple Shimura varieties. There are also the" unitary" groups obtained from involutions of the second kind on division algebras over CM fields. The corresponding Shimura varieties, first investigated by Shimura [Sh], are especially simple in several respects. First of all they are compact moduli spaces for abelian varieties with PEL structures (polarizations, endomorphisms, and level structures). Therefore it is relatively easy to study their reductions modulo p. Moreover the various phenomena of endoscopy, which are expected to complicate the general case considerably, play only a minor role here, as was first observed by Rapoport-Zink [RZ] in the case of division algebras of dimension 9 over an imaginary quadratic extension of II~.The main result of the paper is Theorem 1, which asserts the existence of 2-adic representations of the usual sort for the family of Shimura varieties mentioned above. Once more is known about the automorphic representations of these" unitary" groups, it should be possible to sharpen Theorem 1 substantially. A key ingredient in establishing Theorem 1 is a special case of what Langlands [L4] calls the" fundamental lemma," a proof of which has been given by Clozel [C](and also by Labesse [La]).
