Abstract We prove that in either the convergent or overconvergent setting, an absolutely irreducible $$F$$-isocrystal on the absolute product of two or more smooth schemes over perfect fields of characteristic $$p$$, further equipped with actions of the partial Frobenius maps, is an external product of $$F$$-isocrystals over the multiplicands. The corresponding statement for lisse $$\overline{{\mathbb{Q}}}_{\ell }$$-sheaves, for $$\ell \neq p$$ a prime, is a consequence of Drinfeld’s lemma on the fundamental groups of absolute products of schemes in characteristic $$p$$. The latter plays a key role in V. Lafforgue’s approach to the Langlands correspondence for reductive groups with $$\ell $$-adic coefficients; the $$p$$-adic analogue will be considered in subsequent work with Daxin Xu.

Syntomic complexes and p -adic étale Tate twists
Abstract The primary goal of this paper is to identify syntomic complexes with the p -adic étale Tate twists of Geisser–Sato–Schneider on regular p -torsion-free schemes. Our methods apply naturally to a broader class of schemes that we call ‘ F -smooth’. The F -smoothness of regular schemes leads to new results on the absolute prismatic cohomology of regular schemes.

Abstract Hilbert–Kunz multiplicity and F-signature are numerical invariants of commutative rings in positive characteristic that measure severity of singularities: for a regular ring both invariants are equal to one and the converse holds under mild assumptions. A natural question is for what singular rings these invariants are closest to one. For Hilbert–Kunz multiplicity this question was first considered by the last two authors and attracted significant attention. In this paper, we study this question, i.e., an upper bound, for F-signature and revisit lower bounds on Hilbert–Kunz multiplicity.more » « less

Following Chaudhuri, Sankaranarayanan, and Vardi, we say that a function f:[0,1]→[0,1] is r-regular if there is a Büchi automaton that accepts precisely the set of base r∈N representations of elements of the graph of f. We show that a continuous r-regular function f is locally affine away from a nowhere dense, Lebesgue null, subset of [0,1]. As a corollary we establish that every differentiable r-regular function is affine. It follows that checking whether an r-regular function is differentiable is in PSPACE. Our proofs rely crucially on connections between automata theory and metric geometry developed by Charlier, Leroy, and Rigo.more » « less

We show that is hard to find regular or even ordered (also known as Davis-Putnam) Resolution proofs, extending the breakthrough result for general Resolution from Atserias and Muller to these restricted forms. Namely, regular and ordered Resolution are automatable if and only if P = NP. Specifically, for a CNF formula F the problem of distinguishing between the existence of a polynomial-size ordered Resolution refutation of F and an at least exponential-size general Resolution proof being required to refute F is NP-complete.more » « less
