Yet another proof of the result asserting that a morphism of commutative rings is an effective descent morphism for modules if and only if it is pure is given. Moreover, it is shown that this result cannot be derived from Moerdijk's descent…

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…

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 $A$ be a regular category with pushouts of regular epimorphisms by regular epimorphism and $Reg(A)$ the category of regular epimorphisms in $A$. We prove that every regular epimorphism in $Reg(A)$ is an effective descent morphism if,…

We study effective descent $ \mathcal V $-functors for cartesian monoidal categories $ \mathcal V $ with finite limits. This study is carried out via the properties enjoyed by the $2$-functor $ \mathcal V \mapsto \mathsf{Fam}(\mathcal V) $,…

We investigate flat morphisms of schemes of positive characteristic whose relative Frobenius is an isomorphism, which we call pristine. We show that these give rise to a natural Grothendieck topology that is fine tuned for the localization…

This article is the first one of a series of three articles devoted to direct images of isocrystals: here we consider isocrystals without Frobenius structure; in the second one (resp. the third one), we will introduce a Frobenius structure…

We show that a semisimple overconvergent "absolutely unit-root" F-isocrystal on a geometrically connected smooth variety over a finite field becomes constant over a finite covering.

In "Frobenius Categories versus Brauer Blocks" we have proved some universality of the so-called localizing functor associated with a Frobenius $P$-category $F$, where $P$ is a finite $p$-group, with respect to the coherent $F$-localities…

Let $X \hookrightarrow \overline{X}$ be an open immersion of smooth varieties over a field of characteristic $p>0$ such that the complement is a simple normal crossing divisor and let $\overline{Z} \subseteq Z \subseteq \overline{X}$ be…

In this article we give a survey of the various forms of Berthelot's conjecture and some of the implications between them. By proving some comparison results between pushforwards of overconvergent isocrystals and those of arithmetic…

We extend Berthelot's theory of arithmetic D-modules to a class of morphisms that are not necessarily of finite type. As an application we give a new construction of the category of convergent isocrystals on a separated scheme of finite…

Let X be a smooth variety over a field of positive characteristic, and let E be an overconvergent isocrystal on X. We establish a criterion for the existence of a "canonical logarithmic extension" of E to a good compactification of X. In…

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…

Given varieties $X, Y, W$ and dominant morphisms $\phi:X\to Y$ and $f:X\to W$ such that $f$ is constant on fibres of $\phi$ , we give sufficient conditions to guarantee that $f$ descends to a rational map or a morphism $Y\to W.$ We pay…

Given an essentially finite type morphism of schemes f: X --> Y and a positive integer d, let f^{d}: X^{d} --> Y denote the natural map from the d-fold fiber product, X^{d}, of X over Y and \pi_i: X^{d} --> X the i'th canonical projection.…

Let $\mathcal{V}$ be a mixed characteristic complete discrete valuation ring, $\mathcal{P}$ a separated smooth formal scheme over $\mathcal{V}$, $P$ its special fiber, $X$ a smooth closed subscheme of $P$, $T$ a divisor in $P$ such that…

We use motivic methods to give a quick proof of Berthelot's conjecture stating that the push-forward map in rigid cohomology of the structural sheaf along a smooth and proper map has a canonical structure of overconvergent F-isocrystal on…

We develop a general theory of extensions of flat functors along geometric morphisms of toposes, and apply it to the study of the class of theories whose classifying topos is equivalent to a presheaf topos. As a result, we obtain a…

We study parabolic bundles on an algebraic curve in positive characteristic. Our motivation is to properly formulate Frobenius pull-backs of parabolic bundles in a way that extends various previous facts and arguments for the usual…
