The p-adic Simpson correspondence, recently initiated by Gerd Faltings, aims at describing all p-adic representations of the fundamental group of a proper smooth variety over a p-adic field in terms of linear algebra—namely Higgs bundles. This book undertakes a systematic development of the theory following two new approaches. It mainly focuses on generalized representations of the fundamental group that are p-adically close to the trivial representation. The first approach relies on a new family of period rings built from the torsor of deformations of the variety over a universal p-adic thickening defined by J. M. Fontaine. The second approach introduces a crystalline-type topos and replaces the notion of Higgs bundles with that of Higgs isocrystals. The book shows the compatibility of the two constructions and the compatibility of the correspondence with the natural cohomologies. The last part of the book contains results of wider interest in p-adic Hodge theory. The reader will find a concise introduction to Faltings' theory of almost étale extensions and a chapter devoted to the Faltings topos. Though this topos is the general framework for Faltings' approach in p-adic Hodge theory, it remains relatively unexplored.

This chapter presents the facsimile of Gerd Faltings' article entitled “A p-adic Simpson Correspondence,” reprinted from Advances in Mathematics 198(2), 2005. In this article, an equivalence between the category of Higgs bundles and that of “generalized representations” of the étale fundamental group is constructed for curves over a p-adic field. The definition of “generalized representations” uses p-adic Hodge theory and almost étale coverings, and it includes usual representations which form a full subcategory. The equivalence depends on the choice of an exponential function for the multiplicative group. The method used in the proofs is the theory of almost étale extensions. A nonabelian Hodge–Tate theory is also developed.

We classify the subgroups of the automorphism group of the product of four projective lines admitting an invariant anticanonical smooth divisor on which the action is free. As a first application, we describe new examples of Calabi–Yau 3-folds with small Hodge numbers. In particular, the Picard number is 1 and the number of moduli is 5. Furthermore, the fundamental group is nontrivial. We also construct a new family of minimal surfaces of general type with geometric genus zero, K2 = 3 and fundamental group of order 16. We show that this family dominates an irreducible component of dimension 4 of the moduli space of the surfaces of general type.

Let [Formula: see text] be a moduli space of stable parabolic Higgs bundles of rank two over a Riemann surface X. It is a smooth variety defined over [Formula: see text] equipped with a holomorphic symplectic form. Fix a projective structure [Formula: see text] on X. Using [Formula: see text], we construct a quantization of a certain Zariski open dense subset of the symplectic variety [Formula: see text].

AbstractIn a recent paper, Iyama and Yoshino considered two interesting examples of isolated singularities over which it is possible to classify the indecomposable maximal Cohen–Macaulay modules in terms of linear algebra data. In this paper, we present two new approaches to these examples. In the first approach we give a relation with cluster categories. In the second approach we use Orlov’s result on the graded singularity category.

Abstract Relying on a notion of “numerical effectiveness” for Higgs bundles, we show that the category of “numerically flat” Higgs vector bundles on a smooth projective variety X is a Tannakian category. We introduce the associated group scheme, that we call the “Higgs fundamental group scheme of X,” and show that its properties are related to a conjecture about the vanishing of the Chern classes of numerically flat Higgs vector bundles.

This chapter describes the cohomology of Higgs isocrystals, which are introduced to replace the notion of Higgs bundles. The link between these two notions uses Higgs envelopes and calls to mind the link between classical crystals and modules with integrable connections. After discussing Higgs isocrystals and Higgs crystals, cohomology of Higgs isocrystals, and representations of the fundamental group, the chapter presents the main result: the construction of a fully faithful functor from the category of Higgs (iso)crystals satisfying an overconvergence condition to that of small generalized representations. It also proves the compatibility of this functor with the natural cohomologies and concludes by comparing the cohomology of Higgs isocrystals with Faltings cohomology.

The goal of this chapter is to examine the various ways in which Fuchsian representations of the fundamental group of a closed surface of genus g into PSL(2, R) and their associated Higgs bundles generalize to the higher-rank groups PSL(n, R), PSp(2n, R), SO0(2, n), SO0(n,n+1) and PU(n, n). For the SO0(n,n+1)-character variety, it parameterises n(2g−2) new connected components as the total spaces of vector bundles over appropriate symmetric powers of the surface, and shows how these components deform in the character variety. This generalizes results of Hitchin for PSL(2, R).

This chapter focuses on the Faltings topos, the general framework for Faltings' approach in p-adic Hodge theory. It presents a new approach to the Faltings topos based on a generalization of Deligne's covanishing topos. Along the way, it corrects the original definition of Faltings. After introducing the relevant notation and conventions, the chapter describes the oriented products of topos, covanishing topos and generalized covanishing topos, morphisms with values in a generalized covanishing topos, ringed total topos and ringed covanishing topos, and finite étale site and topos of a scheme. It concludes with a discussion of Faltings site and topos, along with the inverse limit of Faltings topos.

This chapter explains Faltings' theory of almost étale extensions, a tool that has become essential in many questions in arithmetic geometry, even beyond p-adic Hodge theory. It begins with a brief historical overview of almost étale extensions, noting how Faltings developed the “almost purity theorem” and proved the Hodge–Tate decomposition of the étale cohomology of a proper smooth variety. The chapter proceeds by discussing almost isomorphisms, almost finitely generated projective modules, trace, rank and determinant, almost flat modules and almost faithfully flat modules, almost étale coverings, almost faithfully flat descent, and liftings. Finally, it describes group cohomology of discrete A–G-modules and Galois cohomology.
