Ordinary primes in Hilbert modular varieties

A well-known conjecture, often attributed to Serre, asserts that any motive over any number field has infinitely many ordinary reductions (in the sense that the Newton polygon coincides with the Hodge polygon). In the case of Hilbert modular cuspforms $f$ of parallel weight $(2, \cdots , 2)$, we show how to produce more ordinary primes by using the Sato-Tate equidistribution and combining it with the Galois theory of the Hecke field. Under the assumption of stronger forms of Sato-Tate equidistribution, we get stronger (but conditional) results. In the case of higher weights, we formulate the ordinariness conjecture for submotives of the intersection cohomology of proper algebraic varieties with motivic coefficients, and verify it for the motives whose $l$-adic Galois realisations are abelian on a finite index subgroup. We get some results for Hilbert cuspforms of weight $(3, \cdots , 3)$, weaker than those for $(2, \cdots , 2)$.

Symmetry and parity in Frobenius action on cohomology

We prove that the Newton polygons of Frobenius on the crystalline cohomology of proper smooth varieties satisfy a symmetry that results, in the case of projective smooth varieties, from Poincar\'e duality and the hard Lefschetz theorem. As a corollary, we deduce that the Betti numbers in odd degrees of any proper smooth variety over a field are even (a consequence of Hodge symmetry in characteristic zero), answering an old question of Serre. Then we give a generalization and a refinement for arbitrary varieties over finite fields, in response to later questions of Serre and of Katz.

Some refinements of the Deligne-Illusie theorem

We extend the results of Deligne and Illusie on liftings modulo $p^2$ and decompositions of the de Rham complex in several ways. We show that for a smooth scheme $X$ over a perfect field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$, the truncations of the de Rham complex in $\max(p-1, 2)$ consecutive degrees can be reconstructed as objects of the derived category in terms of its truncation in degrees at most one (or, equivalently, in terms the obstruction class to lifting modulo $p^2$). Consequently, these truncations are decomposable if $X$ admits a lifting to $W_2(k)$, in which case the first nonzero differential in the conjugate spectral sequence appears no earlier than on page $\max(p,3)$ (these corollaries have been recently strengthened by Drinfeld, Bhatt-Lurie, and Li-Mondal). Without assuming the existence of a lifting, we describe the gerbes of splittings of two-term truncations and the differentials on the second page of the conjugate spectral sequence, answering a question of Katz. The main technical result used in the case $p>2$ belongs purely to homological algebra. It concerns certain commutative differential graded algebras whose cohomology algebra is the exterior algebra, dubbed by us "abstract Koszul complexes", of which the de Rham complex in characteristic $p$ is an example. In the appendix, we use the aforementioned stronger decomposition result to prove that Kodaira-Akizuki-Nakano vanishing and Hodge-de Rham degeneration both hold for $F$-split $(p+1)$-folds.

Nonhomeomorphic conjugates of connected Shimura varieties

We show that conjugation by an automorphism of the complex numbers (as an abstract field) may change the topological fundamental group of a locally symmetric variety over C. As a consequence, we obtain a large class of algebraic varieties defined over number fields with the property that different embeddings of the number field into C give complex varieties with nonisomorphic fundamental groups.
