The Harris-Viehmann conjecture establishes a parabolic induction formula on the cohomology groups associated to non-basic local Shimura data. It follows that all supercuspidal representations on a Shimura variety are concentrated along the basic locus, making the conjecture relevant to the Langlands program. Historically, many cases of the Harris-Viehmann conjecture have been approached with the additional condition of Hodge-Newton reducibility on the underlying local Shimura datum. Building on previous work by Mantovan (EL/PEL case) and Hong (Hodge case), we extend the proof of the conjecture to non-basic local Shimura data of abelian type under the assumption of Hodge-Newton reducibility. We leverage Shen's construction of Rapoport-Zink spaces of abelian type. This is joint work with Xinyu Zhou.
