Fundamental groups and good reduction criteria for curves over positive characteristic local fields

Abstract

In this article I define and study the overconvergent rigid fundamental group of a variety over an equicharacteristic local field. This is a non-abelian (φ,)(\varphi,\nabla)-module over the bounded Robba ring EK\mathcal{E}_K^\dagger, whose underlying unipotent group (after base changing to the Amice ring EK\mathcal{E}_K) is exactly the classical rigid fundamental group. I then use this to prove an equicharacteristic, pp-adic analogue of Oda's theorem that a semistable curve over a pp-adic field has good reduction iff the Galois action on its \ell-adic unipotent fundamental group is unramified.
