Title: Drinfeld’s Lemma for F -isocrystals, I
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.  more » « less

  1. 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.

  2. Let$$G$$be a split reductive group over the ring of integers in a$$p$$-adic field with residue field$$\mathbf {F}$$. Fix a representation$$\overline {\rho }$$of the absolute Galois group of an unramified extension of$$\mathbf {Q}_p$$, valued in$$G(\mathbf {F})$$. We study the crystalline deformation ring for$$\overline {\rho }$$with a fixed$$p$$-adic Hodge type that satisfies an analog of the Fontaine–Laffaille condition for$$G$$-valued representations. In particular, we give a root theoretic condition on the$$p$$-adic Hodge type which ensures that the crystalline deformation ring is formally smooth. Our result improves on all known results for classical groups not of type A and provides the first such results for exceptional groups.

  3. We prove a Tannakian form of Drinfeld's lemma for isocrystals on a variety over a finite field, equipped with actions of partial Frobenius operators. This provides an intermediate step towards transferring V. Lafforgue's work on the Langlands correspondence over function fields from$$\ell$$-adic to$$p$$-adic coefficients. We also discuss a motivic variant and a local variant of Drinfeld's lemma.

  4. Let $$X$$ be a smooth scheme over a finite field of characteristic $$p$$.Consider the coefficient objects of locally constant rank on $$X$$ in $$\ell$$-adicWeil cohomology: these are lisse Weil sheaves in \'etale cohomology when $$\ell\neq p$$, and overconvergent $$F$$-isocrystals in rigid cohomology when $$\ell=p$$.Using the Langlands correspondence for global function fields in both the\'etale and crystalline settings (work of Lafforgue and Abe, respectively), onesees that on a curve, any coefficient object in one category has "companions"in the other categories with matching characteristic polynomials of Frobeniusat closed points. A similar statement is expected for general $$X$$; building onwork of Deligne, Drinfeld showed that any \'etale coefficient object has\'etale companions. We adapt Drinfeld's method to show that any crystallinecoefficient object has \'etale companions; this has been shown independently byAbe--Esnault. We also prove some auxiliary results relevant for theconstruction of crystalline companions of \'etale coefficient objects; thissubject will be pursued in a subsequent paper.

  5. Abstract We consider finite-dimensional Hopf algebras $$u$$ that admit a smooth deformation $$U\to u$$ by a Noetherian Hopf algebra $$U$$ of finite global dimension. Examples of such Hopf algebras include small quantum groups over the complex numbers, restricted enveloping algebras in finite characteristic, and Drinfeld doubles of height $$1$$ group schemes. We provide a means of analyzing (cohomological) support for representations over such $$u$$, via the singularity categories of the hypersurfaces $U/(f)$ associated with functions $$f$$ on the corresponding parametrization space. We use this hypersurface approach to establish the tensor product property for cohomological support, for the following examples: functions on a finite group scheme, Drinfeld doubles of certain height 1 solvable finite group schemes, bosonized quantum complete intersections, and the small quantum Borel in type $$A$$.
