Weight-monodromy conjecture for p-adically uniformized varieties

Number Theory 2009-11-10 v3 Algebraic Geometry

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to prove the weight-monodromy conjecture (Deligne's conjecture on the purity of monodromy filtration) for varieties p-adically uniformized by the Drinfeld upper half spaces of any dimension. The ingredients of the proof are to prove a special case of the Hodge standard conjecture, and apply a positivity argument of Steenbrink, M. Saito to the weight spectral sequence of Rapoport-Zink. As an application, by combining our results with the results of Schneider-Stuhler, we compute the local zeta functions of p-adically uniformized varieties in terms of representation theoretic invariants. We also consider a p-adic analogue by using the weight spectral sequence of Mokrane.
