Abstract:

A major goal of p-adic Hodge theory is to relate arithmetic structures coming from various cohomologies of p-adic varieties. Such comparisons are usually achieved by constructing intermediate cohomology theories. A recent successful theory, namely the Ainf-cohomology, has been invented by Bhatt-Morrow-Scholze, originally via perfectoid spaces. In this talk, I will describe a simpler approach to prove the comparison between Ainf-cohomology and absolute crystalline cohomology, using the de Rham comparison and flat descent of cotangent complexes.
