Introduction:
Classic Hodge theory furnishes an isomorphism between the Betti cohomology and the de Rham cohomology of complex manifolds. The p-adic Hodge theory arose by trying to obtain the same kind of result over p-adic fields.
The B_dR conjecture (now a theorem) of Fontaine says that the etale cohomology of a smooth, proper scheme over Spec Z_p is isomorphic after tensoring by a Fontaine's ring B_dR to the de Rham cohomology. As the etale cohomology is in particular a p-adic Galois representation (i.e. a continuous representation of a Galois group of Q_p over its algebraic closure), one is also interested in the study of p-adic Galois representations on their own.
This is the fundamental concern of the p-adic Hodge theory.
The B_dR and other Fontaine's rings allow a passage between p-adic Galois representations and much simpler, linear-algebraic objects (so-called (\phi,\Gamma)-modules). This kind of equivalence is used in the work of Fargues-Fontaine to compare semistable sheaves with representations (see below).
Description of the seminar:
Recently, Fargues and Fontaine in [1] has introduced a class of projective curves which "encodes" p-adic Hodge theory, that is, the category of semistable vector bundles (with some additional conditions) on those curves is equivalent to the category of p-adic Galois representations (general, de Rham, crystalline, etc. depending on the conditions put on the bundles). Using this interpretation, they were able to prove some classic results in the p-adic Hodge theory by using geometrical methods (e.g. semistable sheaves on curves, Harder-Narasimhan filtration, etc).
The objective of the seminar is to understand the results from [1] and then approach by classic geometrical methods some natural questions related to the Fargues-Fontaine curves and the p-adic Hodge theory. We will also discuss the theory around it.
Knowledge of the p-adic Hodge theory is not neccessary to follow the seminar, it suffices to have a certain comprehension of algebraic geometry.
In [2], one can find a shorter survey of the results proven in [1].
