Logarithmic good reduction, monodromy and the rational volume

Abstract

Let RR be a strictly local ring complete for a discrete valuation, with fraction field KK and residue field of characteristic p>0p > 0. Let XX be a smooth, proper variety over KK. Nicaise conjectured that the rational volume of XX is equal to the trace of the tame monodromy operator on \ell-adic cohomology if XX is cohomologically tame. He proved this equality if XX is a curve. We study his conjecture from the point of view of logarithmic geometry, and prove it for a class of varieties in any dimension: those having logarithmic good reduction.
