Integral filtered Sen theory and applications

Abstract

We study Nygaard-, conjugate-, and Hodge filtrations on the many variants of Breuil--Kisin modules associated to integral semi-stable Galois representations. This leads to an integral Sen operator satisfying certain ``11-degree shrinking" on the increasing conjugate filtration, and (in special cases) a mod pp Sen operator satisfying certain ``pp-degree shrinking". These constructions are related with prismatic FF-crystals, Hodge--Tate crystals and FF-gauges, and have explicit relations with classical (non-prismatic) operators. As applications, we obtain vanishing and torsion bound results on graded of the integral Hodge filtration; our explicit methods also recover results of Gee--Kisin and Bhatt--Gee--Kisin concerning the mod pp Hodge filtrations and Frobenius structures.
