Nonabelian Hodge Theory in Characteristic p

Nonabelian mixed Hodge structures

We propose a definition of “nonabelian mixed Hodge structure” together with a construction associating to a smooth projective variety X and to a nonabelian mixed Hodge structure V , the “nonabelian cohomology of X with coefficients in V ” which is a (pre-)nonabelian mixed Hodge structure denoted H = Hom(XM , V ). We describe the basic definitions and then give some conjectures saying what is su...

The Hodge filtration on nonabelian cohomology

Whereas usual Hodge theory concerns mainly the usual or abelian cohomology of an algebraic variety—or eventually the rational homotopy theory or nilpotent completion of π1 which are in some sense obtained by extensions—nonabelian Hodge theory concerns the cohomology of a variety with nonabelian coefficients. Because of the basic fact that homotopy groups in higher dimensions are abelian, and si...

Algebraic aspects of higher nonabelian Hodge theory

F–isocrystals and Homotopy Types (f–isocristaux Et Types D’homotopie)

We study a positive characteristic analog of the nonabelian Hodge structure constructed by Katzarkov, Pantev, and Toen on the homotopy type of a complex algebraic variety. Given a proper smooth scheme X over a perfect field of characteristic p and a Tannakian category C of isocrystals on X, we construct an object XC in a suitable homotopy category of simplicial presheaves whose category of loca...

The Hodge-Arakelov Theory of Elliptic Curves in Positive Characteristic

The purpose of this paper is to study the Hodge-Arakelov theory of elliptic curves (cf. [Mzk1-4]) in positive characteristic. The first two §’s (§1,2) are devoted to studying the relationship of the Frobenius and Verschiebung morphisms of an elliptic curve in positive characteristic to the Hodge-Arakelov theory of elliptic curves. We begin by deriving a “Verschiebung-Theoretic Analogue of the H...
