In this paper, we completely prove a standard conjecture on the local converse theorem for generic representations of GLn(F), where F is a non-archimedean local field.
We use Scholzes framework of diamonds to gain new insights in correspondences between $p$-adic vector bundles and local systems. Such correspondences arise in the context of $p$-adic Simpson theory in the case of vanishing Higgs fields. In the present paper we provide a detailed analysis of local systems on diamonds for the etale, pro-etale, and the $v$-topology, and study the structure sheaves for all three topologies in question. Applied to proper adic spaces of finite type over $mathbb{C}_p$ this enables us to prove a category equivalence between $mathbb{C}_p$-local systems with integral models, and modules under the $v$-structure sheaf which modulo each $p^n$ can be trivialized on a proper cover. The flexibility of the $v$-topology together with a descent result on integral models of local systems allows us to prove that the trivializability condition in the module category may be checked on any normal proper cover. This result leads to an extension of the parallel transport theory by Deninger and the second author to vector bundles with numerically flat reduction on a proper normal cover.
We formulate a conjectural p-adic analogue of Borels theorem relating regulators for higher K-groups of number fields to special values of the corresponding zeta-functions, using syntomic regulators and p-adic L-functions. We also formulate a corresponding conjecture for Artin motives, and state a conjecture about the precise relation between the p-adic and classical situations. Parts of he conjectures are proved when the number field (or Artin motive) is Abelian over the rationals, and all conjectures are verified numerically in some other cases.
We construct a functor from the category of p-adic etale local systems on a smooth rigid analytic variety X over a p-adic field to the category of vector bundles with an integrable connection over its base change to B_dR, which can be regarded as a first step towards the sought-after p-adic Riemann-Hilbert correspondence. As a consequence, we obtain the following rigidity theorem for p-adic local systems on a connected rigid analytic variety: if the stalk of such a local system at one point, regarded as a p-adic Galois representation, is de Rham in the sense of Fontaine, then the stalk at every point is de Rham. Along the way, we also establish some basic properties of the p-adic Simpson correspondence. Finally, we give an application of our results to Shimura varieties.
For a proper semistable curve $X$ over a DVR of mixed characteristics we reprove the invariant cycles theorem with trivial coefficients (see Chiarellotto, 1999) i.e. that the group of elements annihilated by the monodromy operator on the first de Rham cohomology group of the generic fiber of $X$ coincides with the first rigid cohomology group of its special fiber, without the hypothesis that the residue field of $cal V$ is finite. This is done using the explicit description of the monodromy operator on the de Rham cohomology of the generic fiber of $X$ with coefficients convergent $F$-isocrystals given in Coleman and Iovita (2010). We apply these ideas to the case where the coefficients are unipotent convergent $F$-isocrystals defined on the special fiber (without log-structure): we show that the invariant cycles theorem does not hold in general in this setting. Moreover we give a sufficient condition for the non exactness.
If $G$ is a group acting on a tree $X$, and ${mathcal S}$ is a $G$-equivariant sheaf of vector spaces on $X$, then its compactly-supported cohomology is a representation of $G$. Under a finiteness hypothesis, we prove that if $H_c^0(X, {mathcal S})$ is an irreducible representation of $G$, then $H_c^0(X, {mathcal S})$ arises by induction from a vertex or edge stabilizing subgroup. If $G$ is a reductive group over a nonarchimedean local field $F$, then Schneider and Stuhler realize every irreducible supercuspidal representation of $G(F)$ in the degree-zero cohomology of a $G(F)$-equivariant sheaf on its reduced Bruhat-Tits building $X$. When the derived subgroup of $G$ has relative rank one, $X$ is a tree. An immediate consequence is that every such irreducible supercuspidal representation arises by induction from a compact-mod-center open subgroup.
