Abstract

Given a liftable smooth proper variety over Fp\mathbb{F}_p, we construct the moduli stacks of crystals and isocrystals on it. We show that the former is a formal algebraic stack over Zp\mathbb{Z}_p and the latter is an adic stack -- Artin stack in rigid geometry -- over Qp\mathbb{Q}_p. Both stacks come equipped with the Verschiebung endomorphism VV corresponding to the Frobenius pullback of (iso)crystals. We study the geometry of the VV-fixed points over the open substack of irreducible isocrystals, which we use to geometrically count the rank one FF-isocrystals. Along the way, we carefully develop the theory of adic stacks.
