Vasiu proved that the level torsion $\ell_{\mathcal{M}}$ of an $F$-crystal $\mathcal{M}$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$ is a non-negative integer that is an effectively computable upper bound of the isomorphism…

In this paper we generalize minimal $p$-divisible groups defined by Oort to $F$-crystal over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic. We prove a structural theorem and give an explicit formula of the Frobenius endomorphism…

In this note, we show that for an ``$F$-crystal" (the equal characteristic analogue of $F$-crystals), its {\it isomorphism number} and its {\it level torsion} coincide. This confirms a conjure of Vasiu \cite{Va} in the equal characteristic…

We prove that an $F$-crystal $(M,\vph)$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$ is determined by $(M,\vph)$ mod $p^n$, where $n\ge 1$ depends only on the rank of $M$ and on the greatest Hodge slope of $(M,\vph)$. We…

The minimal slope conjecture, which was proposed by K.Kedlaya, asserts that two irreducible overconvergent $F$-isocrystals on a smooth variety are isomorphic to each other if both minimal slope constitutions of slope filtrations are…

We determine the number of isomorphism classes of elementary gradings by a finite group on an algebra of upper block-triangular matrices. As a consequence we prove that, for a finite abelian group $G$, the sequence of the numbers $E(G,m)$…

The isomorphism number (resp. isogeny cutoff) of a p-divisible group D over an algebraically closed field is the least positive integer m such that D[p^m] determines D up to isomorphism (resp. up to isogeny). We show that these invariants…

Let (D,phi) be an isocrystal over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p. Let F^bullet be a filtration on D. If F^bullet is (weakly) admissible, its type vector is greater or equal to the slope vector of (D,phi). We prove that…

We complete our proof that given an overconvergent F-isocrystal on a variety over a field of positive characteristic, one can pull back along a suitable generically finite cover to obtain an isocrystal which extends, with logarithmic…

Let $\mathcal{M}_{\pi}$ be an $F$-cyclic $F$-crystal $\mathcal{M}_{\pi}$ over an algebraically closed field defined by a permutation $\pi$ and a set of prescribed Hodge slopes. We prove combinatorial formulas for the dimension…

This article is the second one of a series of three articles devoted to direct images of isocrystals: here we consider convergent isocrystals with Frobenius structure. Let V be a complete discrete valuation ring, with residue field k = V/m…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic $p$. We first classify the $D$-truncations mod $p$ of Shimura $F$-crystals over $k$ and then we study stratifications defined by inner isomorphism classes of these…

Let $D(M,N)$ be the set of integers that can be realized as the degree of a map between two closed connected orientable manifolds $M$ and $N$ of the same dimension. For closed $3$-manifolds with $S^3$-geometry $M$ and $N$, every such degree…

We study torsion subgroups of elliptic curves with complex multiplication (CM) defined over number fields which admit a real embedding. We give a complete classification of the groups which arise up to isomorphism as the torsion subgroup of…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. Let $D$ be a $p$-divisible group over $k$. Let $n_D$ be the smallest non-negative integer for which the following statement holds: if $C$ is a $p$-divisible group over $k$ of…

Given smooth, projective, geometrically integral algebraic curves $X$ and $Y$ defined over a number field $K$, assuming that there is a non-constant $K$-morphism $\varphi \colon X \to Y$, we give an upper bound on the minimum of the degrees…

We prove that for an indecomposable convergent or overconvergent F-isocrystal on a smooth irreducible variety over a perfect field of characteristic p, the gap between consecutive slopes at the generic point cannot exceed 1. (This may be…

The property of isoscaling in nuclear fragmentation is studied using a simple bond percolation model with ``isospin'' added as an extra degree of freedom. It is shown analytically, first, that isoscaling is expected to exist in such a…

Let $X$ be a smooth scheme over a finite field. It is conjectured that a convergent $F$-isocrystal on $X$ is overconvergent if its restriction to every curve contained in $X$ is overconvergent. Using the theory of \'etale and crystalline…

The purpose of this article is to study polycyclic codes over the ring $\frac{\mathbb{F}_{p^m}[u]}{\langle u^t \rangle}, \,t \geq 1$, and their associated torsion codes. It is shown that if $\phi$ is a surjective ring homomorphism from a…
