Abstract

Let F/QpF/\mathbb{Q}_p be a finite extension and let G˘\breve{G} be a connected reductive group with connected center satisfying p>hG˘p>h_{\breve{G}} (the Coxeter number). We write down explicit polynomial equations for the reduced Emerton-Gee stacks (the Borel and the twisted Borel versions that jointly cover the entire XG˘,redEG\mathcal{X}_{\breve{G},\mathrm{red}}^{\mathrm{EG}}), by introducing the mod pp Weil-Deligne stacks capturing derived structures of (φ,Γ)(\varphi, \Gamma)-modules in reduced families. This allows us to algorithmically compute the set of irreducible components of XG˘,redEG\mathcal{X}_{\breve{G},\mathrm{red}}^{\mathrm{EG}}, thereby establishing its equidimensionality, and the existence of crystalline lifts by showing the total number of irreducible components equals the number of (mod pp) crystalline (or potentially semistable) components. The last step of the arguments is to interpolate the rigid analytic Weil-Deligne stacks and the mod pp Weil-Deligne stacks to deduce the number of potentially semistable components. An initial implementation of the algorithms based on Gr\"obner basis establishes the existence of crystalline lifts in the G˘=F4\breve{G}=\mathrm{F}_4 case for all F/QpF/\mathbb{Q}_p, and in the remaining G˘=E6,E7\breve{G}=\mathrm{E}_6, \mathrm{E}_7, and E8\mathrm{E}_8 cases for all but finitely many F/QpF/\mathbb{Q}_p.
