REDING SEMINAR ON PRISMATIC COHOMOLOGY

Overview
The goal of the seminar is to read upto section 9 of [BS22]. We would like to prove
the following theorem:
Theorem 1. [BS22, Theorem 1.8] Let (A, I) be a bounded prism and let X be a smooth
p-adic formal scheme over A/I. Let
RΓ∆ (X/A) := RΓ((X/A)∆ , O∆ ),
which is a commutative algebra in the derived category D(A) of A-modules and which
comes equipped with a ϕA -linear endomorphism ϕ.

(1) Crystaline Comparision (Theorem 5.2): If I = (p), then there is a canonical

ϕ-equivariant isomorphism
RΓcrys ∼ bL
= RΓ∆ (X/A)⊗A,ϕA A,
of commutatuive algebras in D(A).

(2) Hodge-Tate comparision (Theorem 6.3): If X is affine, say X = SpfR, there is a

canonical R-module isomorphism
Ωi {−i} ∼
R/(A/I) = H i (RΓ∆ (X/A) ⊗L A/I.
A

Here M {i} := M ⊗A/I (I/I 2 )⊗i for any A/I-module M .

(3) de Rham Comparision (Theorem 6.4, Corollary 15.4): There is a canonical iso-
morphism
RΓdR (X/(A/I)) ∼= RΓ∆ (X/A)⊗ bLA,ϕA A/I
of commutative algebras in D(A). Moreover, it can be upgraded naturally to an
isomorphism of commutative differential graded algebras.

(4) étale comparision (Theorem 9.1): Assume A is perfect. Let Xét a be the generic
fibre of X over Qp , as a (pre-)adic space. For any n ≥ 0, there is a canonical
isomorphism
1
RΓét (Xét a, Z/pn Z) ∼
= (RΓ∆ (X/A)/pn [ ])ϕ=1
I
of commutative algebras in D(Z/pn ).
