On the $p$-supports of a holonomic $\mathcal{D}$-module
Abstract
For a smooth variety over a perfect field of positive characteristic, the sheaf of crystalline differential operators on (also called the sheaf of -differential operators) is known to be an Azumaya algebra over the cotangent space of the Frobenius twist of Thus to a sheaf of modules over one can assign a closed subvariety of called the -support, namely the support of seen as a sheaf on We study here the family of -supports assigned to the reductions modulo primes of a holonomic -module. We prove that the Azumaya algebra of differential operators splits on the regular locus of the -support and that the -support is a Lagrangian subvariety of the cotangent space, for large enough. The latter was conjectured by Kontsevich. Our approach also provides a new proof of the involutivity of the singular support of a holonomic -module, by reduction modulo
