The Hodge-to-de Rham spectral sequence can be arbitrarily non-degenerate in positive characteristic
Abstract
There is a long tradition of constructing smooth projective varieties in positive characteristic with non-degenerate Hodge-to-de Rham spectral sequences. In this paper, we show that for any n≥ 1 and any spot $(i, j)$ on the En-page, except for the cases where the differential is forced to be zero for trivial reasons, there exists a smooth projective variety whose Hodge-to-de Rham spectral sequence has a non-zero differential with source Eni, j. Our construction is inspired by constructions of nilmanifolds in complex geometry and can be regarded as a positive characteristic analogue.
