A comparison theorem for weights

From MaRDI portal





An initial review of the notion of weight filtrations in singular cohomology provides a basis for the chief goal of this article, the study and comparison of weight filtrations in various cohomological theories. More precisely, the main result is the following: Given a smooth scheme over a discrete valuation ring whose locus at infinity is a normal crossing divisor with smooth components, the isomorphism between the de Rham cohomology of the generic fibre and the rigid cohomology of the special fibre is compatible with the weight filtrations. Actually, there is an isomorphism between the corresponding weight spectral sequences. In particular, when the residue field is finite, the interpretation of the weights by means of the Frobenius action gives a new proof of Deligne's theorem on the degeneracy of the weight spectral sequence in mixed Hodge theory. The main idea in the proof of the above result is to derive the weight spectral sequences in a systematic way from certain vertical filtrations on appropriate bicomplexes. The Cousin complex plays an essential role in the execution of this program in the context of de Rham cohomology. Both cohomology with and without support are considered, and it is shown that all constructions are compatible with Poincaré duality.
