Studying IUT

To my limited experiences, the following seems to be an option for people who wish to get toknow IUT without spending too much time on all the details.

I Regard the anabelian results and the general theory of Frobenioids as blackbox.

I Proceed to read Sections 1, 2 of [EtTh], which is the basis of IUT.

I Read [IUT-I] and [IUT-II] (briefly), so as to know the basic definitions.

I Read [IUT-III] carefully. To make sense of the various definitions/constructions in thesecond half of [IUT-III], one needs all the previous definitions/results.

I The results in [IUT-IV] were in fact discovered first. Section 1 of [IUT-IV] allows one tosee the construction in [IUT-III] in a rather concrete way, hence can be read together with[IUT-III], or even before.

p-adic numbers

Look at a prime number p.

I Any x ∈ Q can be written as x = pn · ab (p - ab).

I Define |x |p = p−n (|0|p := 0). This defines a metric on Q.

I ∏c∈{primes,∞}

|x |c = 1, ∀x ∈ Q×.

I Qp:=completion of (Q, | · |p).

Qp =

{x =

}

Zp =

{x =

∞∑i=0

aipi , ai ∈ {0, 1, · · · , p − 1}

}

I Alternatively,

Zp = lim←−Z/pn = {(an)n≥1 | an ∈ Z/pn, am ≡ an(pn),∀m ≥ n}Qp = (pN)−1Zp

Fp = Zp/p = Z/p

I Any x ∈ Qp has the form

x = pr · u, with r ∈ Q, u ∈ Z×p .

I (p) has a divided power structure:pn

n!∈ Zp.

What is a Galois representation?

I Consider G = GF ,GK . (K over Qp or Q`)

I A p-adic Galois representation is a finite dimensional Qp-vector space V equipped with aQp-linear continuous action of G , i.e. a continuous homomorphism

ρ : G −→ AutE (V ) ' GLd(Qp).

I By continuity condition, ρ factors through some Zp-lattice:

ρ : G −→ AutZp(T ) ' GLd(Zp).

I residual representationρ : G −→ GLd(Fp).

Galois representations coming from geometry:

I L=field of char. 0 (say Q,Qp,Q`), E = elliptic curve over L.

Tp(E ) = lim←−E (L)[pn], ,

ρE : GL → Aut(Tp(E )) ' GL2(Zp).

I X = “reasonable” scheme (say over Qp or Q),

H∗(Xet,Zp) := lim←−H∗(Xet,Z/pn) (' H∗(Xproet,Zp))

is a finite Zp-module. (SGA, Gabber.)

What is a modular form?

A modular form of weight k ∈ Z≥1 on SL2(Z) is a holomorphic function on the upper halfplane

f : H→ C

which is

(i) Modular invariant:

fÅaz + b

cz + d

ã= (cz + d)k f (z),

(ii) Holomorphic at ∞ (“an = 0,∀n < 0”):

The action ofÅ

1 10 1

ãshows f (z + 1) = f (z), so

f (q) =∑

an(f )qn, q := e2πiz .

(A modular form on a congruence subgroup Γ ⊂ SL2(Z) is what you think it is!)

A cuspidal (i.e. a0 = 0) modular form of weight 12 on Γ = SL2(Z):

∆(z) = q∏n≥1

(Ramanujan Conjecture (Deligne 1973): |τ(p)| ≤ 2p11.)

Galois representations attached to modular forms

Theorem (Eichler-Shimura, Deligne). Let f be a normalized (a1(f ) = 1) cuspidal newformof weight k ≥ 2 on Γ1(N) of Nebentypus ε : (Z/N)× → C×.∃ Galois rep.

ρf : GQ → GL2(Qp)

s.t. for any ` - Np, ρf |GQ`is unramified (i.e. intertia IQ` has trivial image), and

det(1− Frob−1` x) = 1− a`(f )x + ε(`)`k−1x2

What about those `|Np? (Grothendieck, Tsuji, Faltings, Saito)

(1) ` 6= p but ` | N: ρf (IQ`) is potentially unipotent.

(2) ` = p but p - N: ρf |GQpis crystalline.

(3) ` = p and p | N: ρf |GQpis potentially semi-stable.

(In fact, semi-stable if ap(f ) 6= 0; potentially crystalline if ap(f ) = 0.)

Note: For E an elliptic curve over Q:

L(E , s) =∏p-N

(1− tpp−s + p1−2s)−1

The modularity conjecture

Conjecture (Fontaine-Mazur, 1980’s). Any (irreducible) geometric (i.e. unramified atalmost all places and potentially semi-stable at p) Galois representation

ρ : GQ → GLn(Qp)

comes from a sub-quotient of H i (XQ,et,Qp)(j) for X/Q a proper smooth variety and some i , j .

Taniyama-Shimura-Weil conjecture (1950’s) (Wiles et al, 1990’s):

For any elliptic curve E over Q, ∃ cuspidal newform of weight 2 on Γ0(N)for some N, s.t. ρE ' ρf .

Theorem (Kisin, Hu-T).Assume p > 3. Let ρ : GQ → GL2(Zp) be such that

I ρ is odd, i.e. det ρ(c) = −1 for c the complex conjugation,

I ρ is unramified at almost all places,

I ρ|GQ(µp)is absolutely irreducible,

I ρ|GQpis potentially semi-stable of weight (0, k − 1) for some k ≥ 2.

Then ρ ' ρf for some modular form of weight k .

Taniyama-Shimura ⇒ Fermat’s Last Theorem.

Let (a, b, c) be a triple of nonzero relatively prime numbers and p ≥ 5 a prime number, whichsatisfy the Fermat equation (WMA: 2 | b and a ≡ 3( mod 4)).

ap + bp + cp = 0.

I (Frey) Set an elliptic curve E/Q to be

y2 = x(x − ap)(x + bp).

I (Frey-Serre) The residual rep.ρE : GQ → GL2(Fp)

is (abs. irr. and) unramified away from 2p and arises from finite flat group scheme overZp at p.

I (Wiles) There is a newform f of weight 2 on Γ0(NE ) (NE= product of the primes dividingabc) s.t.

ρE ' ρf .

I (Ribet) ρf has to come from a cuspidal newform of weight 2 on Γ0(2).

I We all know such a modular form does not exist!

Mysterious functor and comparison isomorphisms

Grothendieck (1970): For G a p-divisible group,

Theorem (Tusji, Faltings, Beilinson).For X a variety over a p-adic field K , ∃ isomorphism compatible with Galois action, filtration,Frobenius, and monodromy:

H i (XK ,et,Qp)⊗Qp Bst ' H ilog-cris(X0/OK0)⊗K0 Bst.

Theorem (Faltings-Andreatta-Iovita, T-Tong). Assume K is absolutely unramified overQp. Let X be a proper smooth formal scheme over OK , and X = XK . Let L be a lisseZp-sheaf on Xet and E a filtered convergent F -isocrystal on X0/OK . If they are associated,then ∃ natural isomorphism compatible with Galois action, filtration, and Frobenius action:

H i (XK ,et,L)⊗Zp Bcris ' H icris(X0/OK , E)⊗K Bcris.

Theorem (Faltings, T-Tong). The analogue for a proper smooth morphism of smoothformal schemes over OK holds.

Overview

In IUT theory, one starts with a suitable elliptic curve E over a number field F and a primenumber `. A Hodge theater is designed to carry two kinds of symmetries associated to a fixedquotient

E [`]� F`.

The multiplicative symmetry will be applied to copies of the moduli field Fmod, while theadditive symmetry assures that the conjugacies of various values of theta function aresynchronized. These theta values and the number field Fmod will determine the so-called

Θ-pilot object. This set of theta values at each bad place v (modulo torsion) has the form

{qj2

v}j=1,··· , `−1

2,

with qv

a 2`-th root of the q-parameter of E at this place.

The main construction of IUT is the so-called multiradial representation of the Θ-pilotobject, which can only be achieved under the indeterminacies (Ind1, 2, 3), concerning theautomorphisms of local Galois groups, automorphisms of local unit groups, and change of ringstructures caused by log-operation, respectively.

The multiradial representation is in particular compatible with the crucial Θ-link between twocopies of Hodge theaters, which dismantle ring structures so as to extract information onarithmetic degrees. It follows from this compatibility that the so-called holomorphic hull ofthe multiradial representation of the Θ-pilot object, which is an arithmetic line bundle, hasdegree bigger than that determined by q-parameters. Such a result finally leads to the proof ofABC/Vojta conjecture.

Statement of the main theorem

I At each vQ, define the holomorphic hull of (UΘ)vQ as the smallest subset of IQ((−)FvQ)containing (UΘ)vQ , which is of the form

(UΘ)vQ = λ · O(−)FvQ

with λ ∈ IQ((−)FvQ), which is non-zero in each direct summand of the decomposition of

IQ((−)FvQ) into direct sum of local fields. (Recall (1).)

I Let Pq ∈ C 4 be a q-pilot object and denote by −| log(q)| its log-volume in the log-shells.

LetUΘ ⊂

∏j∈F>

`

IQ(Sj+1(•D4,VQ))

be the holomorphic hull of the multiradial representation UΘ of a Θ-pilot object PΘ.Write −| log(Θ)| for the log-volume of UΘ. (It can > 0!)Then we have the following inequality in R:

− | log(Θ)| ≥ −| log(q)|. (19)

I Remark.Actually we have a strict inequality −| log(Θ)| > −| log(q)|.

I Remark. There are obvious variants of (19). For instance, let’s consider q1N ,N ∈ Z>0.

Increasing N, modulo the effect of enlargement of the field F , we see that the RHS of(19) gets larger and larger.

Proof of the Theorem

(1) First consider the 0-column of Hodge theaters 0,•HT .

0µ(0UΘ) ≥ 0µ(κ(0,0PΘ)) = 0µ(0,0PΘ). (20)

(2) Now regard the domain and codomain of the ΘLGP-link

ΘLGP : 0,0F I×µLGP∼−→ 1,0F I×µ4

as associated to the Hodge theaters 0,0HT and 1,0HT , respectively. (Keep in mind that theuse of the ΘLGP-link implicitly requires that we regard both sides as abstract prime-strips.)We then have the association of log-volumes

α : 0R≥0∼−→ 1R≥0,

0µ(0,0PΘ) 7→ 1,0 deg(1,0Pq) (= −| log(q)|). (21)

(3) Let 1,0PΘ ∈ 1,0C LGP be a Θ-pilot object.

1UΘ =⋃

Ind1, 2, 3

κ(1,0PΘ).

(4) 1UΘ is by definition the holomorphic hull of 1UΘ, which can be regarded as an object of1,0F I×µ4 . Then

(1µ(1UΘ) <) 1µ(1UΘ) = 1,0 deg(1UΘ) (= −| log(Θ)|).

(5) By Multiradiality Theorem, the construction of 0UΘ out of 0,0F I×µLGP is compatible withthe ΘLGP-link, hence is compatible (i.e. has no interference) with the holomorphic structureof 1,0HT . Then, the assignment

µ0(0UΘ) 7→ µ1(1UΘ). (22)

is compatible the map (21). Therefore (20, 21) gives rise to

1,0 deg(1UΘ) ≥ 1,0 deg(1,0Pq), (23)

i.e.−| log(Θ)| ≥ −| log(q)|.

Computing the log-volume of multiradial representation

Theorem. Fix the initial Θ-data

(F/F ,XF , `,CK ,V,Vbadmod, ε)

and assume further that

(i) EF has good reduction at any place in V(F )good ∩ V(F )non which does not divide 2`;

(ii) Write emod the maximal ramification index of Fmod/Q. Denote

d∗mod = 212335 · dmod, e∗mod = 212335 · emod;

(iii) Write Ftpd = Fmod(EFmod[2]). Assume the 3 · 5-torsion points of EF are defined over F ,

and thatF = Fmod(

√−1,EFmod

[2 · 3 · 5]) = Ftpd(√−1,EFtpd

[3 · 5]).

(iv) Let L be any of the intermediate fields between K/Fmod mentioned above; they are allGalois over Fmod. Consider the (effective) arithmetic divisors on L

dLADiv, fLADiv, qLADiv,

determined by the different ideal of L/Q, the conductor, and the q-parameters of EF atV(L)bad = Vbad

mod ×VmodV(L).

(v) For Vmod 3 v |vQ ∈ V(Q), write V(L)v = V(L)×Vmod{v}, V(L)vQ = V(L)×V(Q) {vQ}.

Denote by degL the degree map on arithmetic divisors on L and by degS for the portionsupported in a set of places S . Consider the following normalized degree:

log(dL) =degL(dLADiv)

[L : Q], log(dLv ) =

degV(L)v (dLADiv)∑w∈V(L)v [Lw : QvQ ]

, log(dLvQ) =degV(L)vQ

(dLADiv)∑w∈V(L)vQ

[Lw : QvQ ].

In the same way, we define log(fL), log(fLv ), log(fLvQ), and

log(q), log(qv ), log(qvQ). Note that the global degrees | log(q)| = log(q)2` .

(vi) Denote by ηprm ∈ R>0 an element with the property (via the Prime Number Theorem)

# {prime numbers ≤ x} ≤ 4x

We have

Then(log(dK ) ≤) log(dFtpd) + log(fFtpd) + log(211 · 33 · 52) + 2 log(`). (25)

(2) Let L be an intermediate field between K/Ftpd which is Galois over Fmod. Consider the set

V(L)dst ⊂ V(L)non

of places that extends to a place in V(K ) which is ramified over Q. Set

one seeslog(sQ) ≤ dmod log(sFmod).

Furtherlog(sQ) ≤ 2dmod(log(dFtpd) + log(fFtpd)) + log(2 · 3 · 5 · `). (26)

(3) Recall that we want to estimate, for each vQ ∈ V(Q), the log-volume of

(UΘ)vQ ⊂∏j∈F>

`

IQ(Sj+1(•D`vQ))

and then average it over F>` . We thus reduce to computing the weighted average over all

possible collections {vi |vQ, i ∈ Sj+1}.

(1) First let Excd be the set consisting of the 4 possibilities of EF which do not admit anF -core. That is, by taking xE ∈ (K ∩ UX (Q)≤d)\Excd , WMA EF admits an F -core.(2) For A any finite set of prime numbers, there exists a prime number p (via the PrimeNumber Theorem) such that

p /∈ A, p ≤ 2(θA + ξprm), θA :=∑l∈A

(3) Write

where hv ≥ 1 is the local height of EF for v where EF has multiplicative bad reduction, andhv = 0 for v where EF has good reduction.(4) Let α ∈ [ 1

I p ≤ hβ;

I p = pv for some v ∈ V(F )non with hv ≥ h1−α;

I p|hv 6= 0 for some nonzero hv with v ∈ V(F )non. (In this case, hv < h1−α implies thatp ≤ hv < hβ.)

Then by some computations and (27) there exists a prime number ` such that (δ := 212335d)

hβ < ` ≤ 10δhα log(2δh) ≤ 20δ2h1+α (< 20δ2h2); (28)

hv < h1−α, if ` = pv for some v ∈ V(F )non; (29)

(5) We may enlarge Excd by adding finitely many possibilities of j-invariants of EF , so as toassume that EF admits no `-cyclic subgroup schemes.(6) Denote by Vbad
