Title: A p-adic Riemann-Hilbert functor and applications

Abstract:

The goal of these talks is two-fold.

First, I'll discuss a p-adic Riemann-Hilbert functor that attaches coherent objects to constructible F_p-sheaves on algebraic varieties over an algebraically closed p-adic field; I'll especially focus on the good behaviour of this functor with respect to the perverse t-structure. (This is joint work in progress with Jacob Lurie.)

Secondly, I'll discuss a variant of the Kodaira vanishing theorem in mixed characteristic algebraic geometry as well as some applications. This result relies on two ingredients: the Riemann-Hilbert functor mentioned above to almost solve the problem, and then (log) prismatic cohomology to pass from an almost solution to an honest solution.
