Th\'eorie de Dieudonn\'e cristalline et p\'eriodes p-adiques

Starting from our work on Harder-Narasimhan filtrations of finite flat group schemes over a $p$-adic field, we developp a theory of Harder-Narasimhan filtrations for $p$-divisible groups. We apply this to the study of the geometry of period morphisms for Rapoport-Zink spaces and to the $p$-adic geometry of Shimura varieties. We define and study in particular some fundamental domains for the action of Hecke correspondences.

We propose in this paper an approach to Breuil's conjecture on a Langlands correspondence between $p$-adic Galois representations and representations of $p$-adic Lie groups in $p$-adic topological vector spaces. We suggest that Berthelot's theory of arithmetic $D$-modules should give a $p$-adic analogue of Kashiwara's theory of $D$-modules for real Lie groups i.e. it should give a realization of the $p$-adic representations of a $p$-adic Lie group as spaces of overconvergent ...

We define, for each quasi-syntomic ring $R$ (in the sense of Bhatt-Morrow-Scholze), a category $\mathrm{DM}^{\rm adm}(R)$ of \textit{admissible prismatic Dieudonn\'e crystals over $R$} and a natural functor from $p$-divisible groups over $R$ to $\mathrm{DM}^{\rm adm}(R)$. We prove that this functor is an antiequivalence. Our main cohomological tool is the prismatic formalism recently developed by Bhatt and Scholze.

We show that much of local class theory can be deduced from the Dieudonn\'e-Manin structure theory for $F$-isocrystals on an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. As a consequence we get a new proof of a formula of Dwork for the norm residue symbol, as well as a "constructive" proof of the local Shafarevich-Weil theorem. This last answers a question of Morava.

The purpose of this informal article is to introduce the reader to some of the objects and methods of the theory of p-adic representations. My hope is that students and mathematicians who are new to the subject will find it useful as a starting point. It consists mostly of an expanded version of the notes for my two lectures at the "Dwork trimester" in June 2001.

In this paper, we associate to every $p$-adic representation $V$ a $p$-adic differential equation $\mathbf{D}^{\dagger}_{\mathrm{rig}}(V)$, that is to say a module with a connection over the Robba ring. We do this via the theory of Fontaine's $(\phi,\Gamma_K)$-modules. This construction enables us to relate the theory of $(\phi,\Gamma_K)$-modules to $p$-adic Hodge theory. We explain how to construct $mathbf{D}_{mathrm{cris}}(V)$ and $\mathbf{D}_{\mathrm{st}}(V)$ from $\math...

This is an unchanged version of an unpublished, ``state of the art'' survey given at a conference held in Stuttgart in 2001 to celebrate the 100th birthday of Richard Brauer. This text was recently quoted in several papers on the period-index problem for central simple algebras.

In the mid sixties, A. Grothendieck envisioned a vast generalization of Galois theory to systems of polynomials in several variables, motivic Galois theory, and introduced tannakian categories on this occasion. In characteristic zero, various unconditional approaches were later proposed. The most precise one, due to J. Ayoub, relies on Voevodsky theory of mixed motives and on a new tannakian theory. It sheds new light on periods of algebraic varieties, and shows in particular...

This paper is an expanded version of a talk given at the Current Developments in Mathematics Conference last November (2002) on the work of Wilfred Schmid on periods of limits of Hodge structures. The paper begins with an exposition of the theory of limits of Hodge structures with some emphasis on the geometry. It goes on to discuss (briefly) the periods of the limit mixed Hodge structure on the fundamental group (made unipotent) of the projective line minus 3 points and its ...

We provide new proofs of two key results of p-adic Hodge theory: the Fontaine-Wintenberger isomorphism between Galois groups in characteristic 0 and characteristic p, and the Cherbonnier-Colmez theorem on decompletion of (phi, Gamma)-modules. These proofs are derived from joint work with Liu on relative p-adic Hodge theory, and are closely related to Scholze's study of perfectoid algebras and spaces.
