Summary on Grant Application Form
We associate linear data to geometric objects like curves, surfaces or threefolds defined as zero-sets of algebraic equations over the integers or over a number domain that is annihilated by a power of a prime number. One can ask how much information about the original object can be captured in this way. The linear data are given by various cohomology theories which is a standard technique in many areas in Pure Mathematics including topology, complex and arithmetic geometry. This problem leads to what is called p-adic deformation theory; the project addresses the question in the case of crystalline cohomology or equivalently de Rham-Witt cohomology classes associated to algebraic cycles and how they deform p-adically. A related problem of particular interest is to identify an integral structure defined over the (p-adic) integers inside these linear data which leads to finer invariants of the geometric objects and encode more information. This method is very common in arithmetic geometry.
