Abstract

It is conjectured by de Jong that, if XX is a connected smooth projective variety over an algebraically closed field kk of characteristic p>0p>0 with trivial \'etale fundamental group, any isocrystal on on X/WX/W is trivial. We prove this conjecture under two additional assumptions. Version 2: the main change is an addendum. We prove that if XX is a connected smooth projective variety over an algebraically closed field kk of characteristic p>0p>0 with trivial \'etale fundamental group, any infinitesimal isocrystal on X/WX/W is trivial. To this aim we wrote some general facts on such infinitesimal isocrystals over W which are missing in the literature.
