Some remarks on ordinarity (Q1277176): Difference between revisions

The authors aims at giving a convenient description, with complete proofs or references, of scattered results on ordinary representations (the ``simplest'' ones among \(p\)-adic representations) of the absolute Galois group of a local field. This is certainly welcome, since these results, although ``well known'' to experts, are not easily found in the literature. The paper consists in three essentially independent, but complementary parts: 1) An account on the theory of Fontaine-Laffaille, explaining in particular how to recover the characters of a semi-stable representation affored by a filtered module equipped with a monodromy by the Fontaine correspondence, starting from the filtered module itself. The ordinary representations are those with characters of level one; they are necessarily semi-stable. Technical restrictions must be imposed on the absolute ramification of the base field and on the length of Hodge-Tate weights of the representations. 2) An account on ordinary logarithmic schemes, explaining first how to associate a filtered module to a log scheme, following Deligne-Illusie; then introducing the notion of ordinary log schemes, and taking a closer look at ``semi-stable'' log schemes. 3) A final, more ``arithmetical'' section, explaining how the ``crystalline'' calculation of local factors of \(L\)-functions shows that, for a modular cusp-form of weight \(\geq 2\) which is an eigenform for Hecke operators, the associated \(p\)-adic representation is ordinary if and only if the form itself is ordinary.
