On uniqueness of \(p\)-adic period morphisms (Q1011934)

The author proves the uniqueness criteria for \(p\)-adic period morphisms for proper varieties. As a consequence she obtains equality of the \(p\)-adic period morphisms defined using the syntomic, almost étale and motivic constructions. The rational crystalline and syntomic conjectures which assert the existence of corresponding \(p\)-adic period isomorphisms can be proved by three methods: the syntomic method due to \textit{J.-M. Fontaine} and \textit{W. Messing} [Current trends in arithmetical algebraic geometry, Proc. Summer Res. Conf., Arcata/Calif. 1985, Contemp. Math. 67, 179--207 (1987; Zbl 0632.14016)], \textit{K. Kato} and \textit{W. Messing} [Tôhoku Math. J., II. Ser. 44, No. 1, 1--9 (1992; Zbl 0792.14008)] and \textit{T. Tsuji} [Invent. Math. 137, No. 2, 233--411 (1999; Zbl 0945.14008)] the almost étale method of \textit{Faltings} [Algebraic analysis, geometry, and number theory, Proc. JAMI Inaugur. Conf., Baltimore/MD (USA) 1988, 25--80 (1989; Zbl 0805.14008)] and the motivic method of the author [Ann. Sci. Éc. Norm. Supér. (4) 31, No. 5, 659--681 (1998; Zbl 0929.14009)]. The uniqueness criteria of \(p\)-adic period isomorphisms are proven in section 3. The author proves that under the assumption of compatibility of period morphisms with higher Chern classes from \(p\)-adic \(K\)-theory to étale or syntomic cohomologies the \(p\)-adic period isomorphism is unique. In sections 4 and 5 these compatibilities are established for syntomic and almost étale period morphisms. In section 6 the equality of the three \(p\)-adic period isomorphisms defined by the mentioned above methods is established.
