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.

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.

Abstract We determine the geometric monodromy groups attached to various families, both one-parameter and multi-parameter, of exponential sums over finite fields, or, more precisely, the geometric monodromy groups of the$$\ell $$-adic local systems on affine spaces in characteristic$$p> 0$$whose trace functions are these exponential sums. The exponential sums here are much more general than we previously were able to consider. As a byproduct, we determine the number of irreducible components of maximal dimension in certain intersections of Fermat surfaces. We also show that in any family of such local systems, say parameterized by an affine spaceS, there is a dense open set ofSover which the geometric monodromy group of the corresponding local system is a fixed known group.more » « less

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.more » « less

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.more » « less

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.more » « less
