Abstract

We introduce a systematic theory of Weil bundles over p p -adic analytic manifolds, forging new connections between differential calculus over non-archimedean fields and arithmetic geometry. By developing a framework for infinitesimal structures in the p p -adic setting, we establish that Weil bundles MA M^A associated with a p p -adic manifold M M and a Weil algebra A A inherit a canonical analytic structure. Key results include: \text{Lifting theorems :} for analytic functions, vector fields, and connections, enabling the transfer of geometric data from M M to MA M^A . A \text{Galois-equivariant structure :} on Weil bundles defined over number fields, linking their geometry to arithmetic symmetries. A \text{cohomological comparison isomorphism:} between the Weil bundle MA M^A and the crystalline cohomology of M M , unifying infinitesimal and crystalline perspectives. Applications to Diophantine geometry and p p -adic Hodge theory are central to this work. We show that spaces of sections of Hodge bundles on MA M^A parametrize p p -adic modular forms, offering a geometric interpretation of deformation-theoretic objects. Furthermore, Weil bundles are used to study infinitesimal solutions of equations on elliptic curves, revealing new structural insights into p p -adic deformations.
