Signs in weight spectral sequences, monodromy-weight conjectures, log Hodge symmetry and degeneration of surfaces (Q879770)

Summary: We study signs in various weight spectral sequences. After these studies, we prove that the \(p\)-adic, the \(l\)-adic and the \(I\)-adic monodromy filtrations and the weight filtrations on the first log cohomologies of proper simple normal crossing log surfaces do not necessarily coincide. Conversely we prove that the log hard Lefschetz conjecture for the first log \(l\)-adic cohomology of a projective simple normal crossing log variety implies the coincidence of the two filtrations on the first log \(l\)-adic cohomology of it. We also study the log Hodge symmetry.
