Arithmetic Aspects of Weil Bundles over $p$-Adic Manifolds
Abstract
We introduce a systematic theory of Weil bundles over -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 -adic setting, we establish that Weil bundles associated with a -adic manifold and a Weil algebra 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 to . 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 and the crystalline cohomology of , unifying infinitesimal and crystalline perspectives. Applications to Diophantine geometry and -adic Hodge theory are central to this work. We show that spaces of sections of Hodge bundles on parametrize -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 -adic deformations.
