Generic Hodge and special Hodge--Witt polygons
Abstract
We show that, in equal characteristic p, the Hodge-Witt polygon can only move down and domino numbers can only increase under specialization in smooth proper families. We also show that the Hodge polygon of the generic fiber of a proper smooth p-adic formal scheme over 𝒪C lies on or above the Hodge-Witt polygon of its special fiber, where C is a complete algebraically closed extension of ℚp. We further show that, in this mixed-characteristic setting, if the crystalline cohomology of the special fiber is torsion-free in degrees n and n+1, then the degree-n Hodge polygon of the generic fiber lies on or below the abstract Hodge polygon of the special fiber. We illustrate these comparisons with explicit examples.
