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.
Given three arbitrary vector bundles on the Fargues-Fontaine curve where one of them is assumed to be semistable, we give an explicit and complete criterion in terms of Harder-Narasimha polygons on whether there exists a short exact sequence among them. Our argument is based on a dimension analysis of certain moduli spaces of bundle maps and bundle extensions using Scholzes theory of diamonds.
We develop a theory of etale parallel transport for vector bundles with numerically flat reduction on a $p$-adic variety. This construction is compatible with natural operations on vector bundles, Galois equivariant and functorial with respect to morphisms of varieties. In particular, it provides a continuous $p$-adic representation of the etale fundamental group for every vector bundle with numerically flat reduction. The results in the present paper generalize previous work by the authors on curves. They can be seen as a $p$-adic analog of higher-dimensional generalizations of the classical Narasimhan-Seshadri correspondence on complex varieties. Moreover, they provide new insights into Faltings $p$-adic Simpson correspondence between small Higgs bundles and small generalized representations by establishing a class of vector bundles with vanishing Higgs field giving rise to actual (not only generalized) representations.
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.
We construct many``low rank algebraic vector bundles on ``simple smooth affine varieties of high dimension. In a related direction, we study the existence of polynomial representatives of elements in the classical (unstable) homotopy groups of spheres. Using techniques of A^1-homotopy theory, we are able to produce ``motivic lifts of elements in classical homotopy groups of spheres; these lifts provide interesting polynomial maps of spheres and algebraic vector bundles.
