The notion of a $p$-adic superspace is introduced and used to give a transparent construction of the Frobenius map on $p$-adic cohomology of a smooth projective variety over $\zp$ (the ring of $p$-adic integers), as well as an alternative construction of the crystalline cohomology of a smooth projective variety over $\fp$ (finite field with $p$ elements).
Given a smooth formal scheme over the ring of integers of a mixed-characteristic perfectoid field, we study its $p$-adic vanishing cycles via de Rham--Witt and $q$-de Rham complexes.
We extend the definition of the Chen-Ruan cohomology ring to smooth, proper, tame, Deligne-Mumford stacks over fields of positive characteristic and prove that a modified version of the Frobenius action preserves the product.
v2: For a projective variety defined over a finite field with $q$ elements, it is shown that as algebraic integers, the eigenvalues of the geometric Frobenius acting on $\ell$-adic cohomology have higher than known $q$-divisibility beyond the middle dimension. This sharpens both Deligne's integrality theorem and the cohomological divisibility theorem proven by the first author and N. Katz. Similar lower bounds are proved for the Hodge level for a complex variety beyond the middle dimension, improving earlier results in this direction. We discuss the affine case. The previous version contained …
In this note we study the relationship between the power series expansion of the Dwork exponential and the Mahler expansion of the $p$-adic Gamma function. We exploit this relationship to prove that certain quantities that appeared in our previous computations of the Frobenius map can be expressed in terms of the derivatives of the $p$-adic Gamma function at 0. This is used to prove a conjecture about the non-trivial off-diagonal entry in the Frobenius matrix of the mirror quintic threefold.
Presenting p-adic numbers as {\em deformations} of finite fields allows a better understanding of Frobenius lifts and their connection with p-derivations in the sense of Buium \cite{Buium-Main}. In this way "numbers {\em are} functions", as recognized before \cite{Manin:Numbers}, allowing to view initial structure deformation problems as arithmetic differential equations as in \cite{Buium-Manin}, and providing a cohomological interpretation to Buium calculus via Hochschild cohomology which controls deformations of algebraic structures. Applications to p-adic periods are considered, including t…
In \cite{mccarthy2}, McCarthy defined a function $_{n}G_{n}[\cdots]$ using Teichmüller character of finite fields and quotients of $p$-adic gamma function, and expressed the trace of Frobenius of elliptic curves in terms of special values of $_{2}G_{2}[\cdots]$. We establish two different expressions for the traces of Frobenius of elliptic curves in terms of the function $_{2}G_{2}[\cdots]$. As a result, we obtain two relations between special values of the function $_{2}G_{2}[\cdots]$ with different parameters.
We define a function in terms of quotients of the $p$-adic gamma function which generalizes earlier work of the author on extending hypergeometric functions over finite fields to the $p$-adic setting. We prove, for primes $p > 3$, that the trace of Frobenius of any elliptic curve over $\mathbb{F}_p$, whose $j$-invariant does not equal 0 or 1728, is just a special value of this function. This generalizes results of Fuselier and Lennon which evaluate the trace of Frobenius in terms of hypergeometric functions over $\mathbb{F}_p$ when $p \equiv 1 \pmod {12}$.
We show that one can express Frobenius transformation on middle-dimensional p-adic cohomology of Calabi-Yau threefold in terms of mirror map and instanton numbers. We express the mirror map in terms of Frobenius transformation on p-adic cohomology . We discuss a $p$-adic interpretation of the conjecture about integrality of Gopakumar-Vafa invariants.
We prove that if an $n\times n$ matrix defined over ${\mathbb Q}_p$ (or more generally an arbitrary complete, discretely-valued, non-Archimedean field) satisfies a certain congruence property, then it has a strictly maximal eigenvalue in ${\mathbb Q}_p$, and that iteration of the (normalized) matrix converges to a projection operator onto the corresponding eigenspace. This result may be viewed as a $p$-adic analogue of the Perron-Frobenius theorem for positive real matrices.
Coleman calculated the absolute Frobenius on Fermat curves explicitly. In this paper we show that a kind of $p$-adic continuity implies a large part of his formula. To do this, we study a relation between functional equations of the ($p$-adic) gamma function and monomial relations on ($p$-adic) CM-periods.
Inspired by the theory of p-adic differential equations, this paper introduces an analogous theory for q-difference equations over a local field, when |q|=1. We define some basic concepts, for instance the generic radius of convergence, introduce technical tools, such as a twisted Taylor formula for analytic functions, and prove some fundamental statements, such as an effective bound theorem, the existence of a weak Frobenius structure and a transfer theorem in regular singular disks.
There is a notion of $p$-adic period coming from the crystalline Frobenius automorphism of the de Rham cohomology of an algebraic variety. In this paper, we consider sequences of $p$-adic periods, one for each prime. We study the sequences using motivic periods, and we formulate an analogue of the Grothendieck period conjecture.
The $L$-function of exponential sums associated to the generic polynomial of degree $d$ in $n$ variables over a finite field of characteristic $p$ is studied. A polygon called the Frobenius polygon of the generic polynomial of degree $d$ in $n$ variables over a finite field of characteristic $p$ is defined. A $p$-adic Riemann hypothesis is formulated. It asserts that the Newton polygon of the $L$-function coincides with the Frobenius polygon when $p$ is large enough. This $p$-adic Riemann hypothesis is proved when $n=2$ and $p\equiv-1({\rm mod }\ d)$. In general, it is proved that the Newton p…
We study the asymptotic behavior of solutions of Frobenius equations defined over the ring of overconvergent series. As an application, we prove Chiarellotto-Tsuzuki's conjecture on the rationality and right continuity of Dwork's logarithmic growth filtrations associated to ordinary linear $p$-adic differential equations with Frobenius structures.
We describe a class of multivariate series rings generalizing the usual Robba ring over a p-adic field, and give a basic development of phi-modules over such rings. This makes it possible to give a unified survey of a number of recent developments in p-adic Hodge theory.
To a torus action on a complex vector space, Gelfand, Kapranov and Zelevinsky introduce a system of differential equations, which are now called the GKZ hypergeometric system. Its solutions are GKZ hypergeometric functions. We study the $p$-adic counterpart of the GKZ hypergeometric system. The $p$-adic GKZ hypergeometric complex is a twisted relative de Rham complex of over-convergent differential forms with logarithmic poles. It is an over-holonomic object in the derived category of arithmetic $\mathcal D$-modules with Frobenius structures. Traces of Frobenius on fibers at Techmüller points …
Let k be a finite field of characteristic p>0. We construct a theory of weights for overholonomic complexes of arithmetic D-modules with Frobenius structure on varieties over k. The notion of weight behave like Deligne's one in the l-adic framework: first, the six operations preserve weights, and secondly, the intermediate extension of an immersion preserves pure complexes and weights.
In this paper, we give explicit descriptions of Hyodo and Kato's Frobenius and Monodromy operators on the first $p$-adic de Rham cohomology groups of curves and Abelian varieties with semi-stable reduction over local fields of mixed characteristic. This paper was motivated by the first author's paper "A $p$-adic Shimura isomorphism and periods of modular forms," where conjectural definitions of these operators for curves with semi-stable reduction were given.
Let $K$ be a $p$-adic local field. In this work we study a special kind of $p$-adic Galois representations of it. These representations are similar to the Galois representations occurred in the exceptional zero conjecture for modular forms. In particular, we verify that a formula of Colmez can be generalized to our case. We also include a degenerated version of Colmez's formula.
We compute a basis for the p-adic Dwork cohomology of a smooth complete intersection in projective space over a finite field and use it to give p-adic estimates for the action of Frobenius on this cohomology. In particular, we prove that the Newton polygon of the characteristic polynomial of Frobenius lies on or above the associated Hodge polygon. This result was first proved by B. Mazur using crystalline cohomology.
Consider a meromorphic connection on P^1 over a p-adic field. In many cases, such as those arising from Picard-Fuchs equations or Gauss-Manin connections, this connection admits a Frobenius structure defined over a suitable rigid analytic subspace. We give an effective convergence bound for this Frobenius structure by studying the effect of changing the Frobenius lift. We also give some examples indicating that our bound is essentially optimal.
We introduce a "limiting Frobenius structure" attached to any degeneration of projective varieties over a finite field of characteristic p which satisfies a p-adic lifting assumption. Our limiting Frobenius structure is shown to be effectively computable in an appropriate sense for a degeneration of projective hypersurfaces. We conjecture that the limiting Frobenius structure relates to the rigid cohomology of a semistable limit of the degeneration through an analogue of the Clemens-Schmidt exact sequence. Our construction is illustrated, and conjecture supported, by a selection of explicit ex…
We consider the problem of recovering l-adic representations from a knowledge of the character values at the Frobenius elements associated to l-adic representations constructed algebraically out of the original representations. These results generalize earlier results in of the author concerning refinements of strong multiplicity one for $l$-adic represntations, and a result of Ramakrishnan recovering modular forms from a knowledge of the squares of the Hecke eigenvalues. For example, we show that if the characters of some tensor or symmetric powers of two absolutely irreducible l-adic represe…
We prove a statement on p-adic continuity of matrices of coefficients of the logarithm of the Artin-Mazur formal group law associated to the middle cohomology of a hypersurface. As Jan Stienstra discovered in 1986, the entries of these matrices are coefficients of powers of the equation of the hypersurface, and in certain cases they satisfy congruences of Atkin and Swinnerton-Dyer type. These congruences imply that eigenvalues of our limiting matrices are eigenvalues of Frobenius of zero p-adic valuation on the middle crystalline cohomology of the fibre at p.
Given a Weil-Deligne representation with coefficients in a domain, we prove the rigidity of the structures of the Frobenius-semisimplifications of the Weyl modules associated to its pure specializations. Moreover, we show that the structures of the Frobenius-semisimplifications of the Weyl modules attached to a collection of pure representations are rigid if these pure representations lift to Weil-Deligne representations over domains containing a domain $\mathscr{O}$ and a pseudorepresentation over $\mathscr{O}$ parametrizes the traces of these lifts.
We show that the $p$-adic completion of any affine elliptic curve with ordinary reduction possesses Frobenius lifts whose "normalized" action on $1$-forms preserves mod $p$ the space of invariant $1$-forms. We next show that, after removing the $2$-torsion sections, the above situation can be "infinitesimally deformed" in the sense that the above mod $p$ result has a mod $p^2$ analogue. While the "eigenvalues" mod $p$ are given by the reciprocal of the Hasse polynomial, the "eigenvalues" mod $p^2$ are given by an appropriate $\d$-modular function whose reciprocal is a $p$-adic deformation of t…
We define the notion of {\it Dwork family of logarithmic $F$-crystals}, a typical example of which is the family of Gauss hypergeometricdifferential systems, viewed as parametrized by their exponents of algebraic monodromy. The $p$-adic analytic dependence of the Frobenius operation upon those exponents, is Dwork's "Boyarsky Principle". We discuss, in favorable cases, the $p$-adic analytic continuation of the unit root $F$-subcrystal in the open tube of a singularity, uniformly w.r.t. the exponents. We obtain a conceptual proof of the Koblitz-Diamond formula $p$-adically analog to Gauss' evalu…
Let $\mathscr{O}_K$ be a 2-adic discrete valuation ring with perfect residue field $k$. We classify $p$-divisible groups and $p$-power order finite flat group schemes over $\mathscr{O}_K$ in terms of certain Frobenius module over $\mathfrak{S}:=W(k)[[u]]$. We also show the compatibility with crystalline Dieudonné theory and associated Galois representations. Our approach differs from Lau's generalization of display theory, and we additionally obtain the the compatibility with associated Galois representations.

We construct Λ-adic de Rham and crystalline analogues of Hida's ordinary Λ-adic etale cohomology, and by exploiting the geometry of integral models of modular curves over the cyclotomic extension of \Q_p, we prove appropriate finiteness and control theorems in each case. We then employ integral p-adic Hodge theory to prove Λ-adic comparison isomorphisms between our cohomologies and Hida's etale cohomology. As applications of our work, we provide a "cohomological" construction of the family of (ϕ,Γ)-modules attached to Hida's ordinary Λ-adic etale cohomology by Dee, and we give a new and purely…
We show that if $G$ is a linear algebraic group over a number field and if $G$ is not a torus then for all but finitely many primes $p$ the $p$-adic completion of $G$ does not possess a Frobenius lift that is "Lie invariant mod $p$" (in the sense of \cite{alie1}). This is in contrast with the situation of elliptic curves studied in \cite{alie1}.
The goal of this article is to develop BV (Batalin-Vilkovisky) formalism in the $p$-adic Dwork theory. Based on this formalism, we explicitly construct a $p$-adic dGBV algebra (differential Gerstenhaber-Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra) for a smooth projective complete intersection variety $X$ over a finite field, whose cohomology gives the $p$-adic Dwork cohomology of $X$, and its cochain endomorphism (the $p$-adic Dwork Frobenius operator) which encodes the information of the zeta function $X$. As a consequence, we give a modern deformation theoretic interpretation of Dwork's theory of the zeta fu…
Motivated by an application to LDPC (low density parity check) algebraic geometry codes described by Voloch and Zarzar, we describe a computational procedure for establishing an upper bound on the arithmetic or geometric Picard number of a smooth projective surface over a finite field, by computing the Frobenius action on p-adic cohomology to a small degree of p-adic accuracy. We have implemented this procedure in Magma; using this implementation, we exhibit several examples, such as smooth quartics over F_2 and F_3 with arithmetic Picard number 1, and a smooth quintic over F_2 with geometric …
We will discuss $\infty$-categorical perverse $p$-adic differential equations over stacks. On one hand, we are going to study some $p$-adic analogous results of the Drinfeld's original lemma about the étale fundamental groups in the étale setting, in the context of $F$-isocrystals closely after Kedlaya and Kedlaya-Xu. We expect similar things could also be considered for diamonds after Scholze, in the context of Kedlaya-Liu's work namely the derived category of pseudocoherent Frobenius sheaves, which will induce some categorical form of Drinfeld's lemma for diamonds motivated by work of Carter…
We determine the $\ell$-adic étale cohomology and the eigenvalues of the geometric Frobenius for the moduli stack $\mathcal{L}_{1,12n} := \mathrm{Hom}_{n}(\mathbb{P}^1, \overline{\mathcal{M}}_{1,1})$ of stable elliptic fibrations over $\mathbb{P}^{1}$ with $12n$ nodal singular fibers and a marked Weierstrass section over $\overline{\mathbb{F}}_q$ with $\mathrm{char}(\overline{\mathbb{F}}_q) \neq 2,3$.
In the late '60s, B. Dwork studied a Frobenius structure compatible with the classical hypergeometric differential equation with parameters $\left(\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{2} ; 1 \right)$ by analyzing behavior of solutions of the differential equation under Frobenius transformation. Recently, P. Scholze conjectured the existence of $q$-de Rham cohomology groups for any $\mathbb{Z}$-scheme. In this paper, we give a Frobenius structure compatible with the $q$-hypergeometric differential equation with parameters $(q^{\frac12},q^{\frac12};q)$ by showing a $q$-analogue of some results of Dwork. This co…
We study the algbraic dynamics for endomorphisms of projective spaces with coefficients in a p-adic field whose reduction in positive characteritic is the Frobenius. In particular, we prove a version of the dynamical Manin-Mumford conjecture and the dynamical Mordell-Lang conjecture for the coherent backward orbits for such endomorphisms. We also give a new proof of a dynamical version of the Tate-Voloch conjecture in this case. Our method is based on the theory of perfectoid spaces introduced by P. Scholze. In the appendix, we prove that under some technical condition on the field of definiti…
We show that a two dimensional $\ell $-adic representation of the absolute Galois group of a number field which is locally potentially equivalent to a $GL(2)$-$\ell$-adic representation $ρ$ at a set of places of $K$ of positive upper density is potentially equivalent to $ρ$. For an elliptic curver \( E \) defined over a number field \( K \) and a finite place \( v \) of \( K \) of good reduction for \( E \), let \( F(E,v) \) denote the Frobenius field of \( E \) at \( v \), given by the splitting field of the characteristic polynomial of the Frobenius automorphism at \( v \) acting on the Tate…
This work is devoted to study of algebraicty modulo p of Siegel's G-functions. Our goal is to emphasize the relevance of the notion of strong Frobenius structure, clasically studied in the theory of the p-adic diffenrential equations, for the study of a Adamczewski-Delaygue's conjecture concerning of the degree of algebraicity modulo p of G-functions. For this, we first make a Christol's result explicit by showing that if $f$ is a G-function that is solution of a differential operator $L$ in $ \mathbb{Q}(z)[d/dz]$ of order $n$ endowed of a strong Frobenius structure of period $h$ for the prime…
If $X$ is a smooth scheme over a perfect field of characteristic $p$, and if $\sD_X$ is the sheaf of differential operators on $X$ [EGAIV], it is well known that giving an action of $\sD_X$ on an $\sO_X$-module $\sE$ is equivalent to giving an infinite sequence of $\sO_X$-modules descending $\sE$ via the iterates of the Frobenius endomorphism of $X$. We show that this result can be generalized to any infinitesimal deformation $f : X \to S$ of a smooth morphism in characteristic $p$, endowed with Frobenius liftings. We also show that it extends to adic formal schemes such that $p$ belongs to an…
