Slope stability conjecture for ordinary algebraic-geometric \p-adic towers

About 9 years old · traced to

Let K∞/KK_{\infty}/K be an algebraic-geometric ordinary pp-adic Lie tower with no proper constant subextension. Write

P(Kn,s)=∏i=12gn(1−αi(n)s),P(K_n,s)=\prod_{i=1}^{2g_n}(1-\alpha_i(n)s),

and normalize vqv_q by vq(q)=1v_q(q)=1. The qq-slopes are the rational numbers vq(αi(n))v_q(\alpha_i(n)), and rp(n,α)r_p(n,\alpha) denotes the multiplicity of a fixed rational slope α∈[0,1]\alpha\in[0,1].

Slope stability conjecture. The following hold: (1) the qq-slopes are equidistributed in [0,1][0,1] as n→∞n\to\infty; (2) for each fixed rational α∈[0,1]\alpha\in[0,1], there is a polynomial Rα(x)∈Q[x]R_\alpha(x)\in\mathbb{Q}[x] of degree at most dim⁡(G){\rm \dim}(G), depending on the tower, such that for all sufficiently large nn,

rp(n,α)=Rα(pn);r_p(n,\alpha)=R_\alpha(p^n);

(3) there is a positive integer n0n_0, depending on the tower, such that for all n>n0n>n_0, the rescaled slopes

{pnvq(α1(n)),…,pnvq(α2gn(n))}\{p^nv_q(\alpha_1(n)),\ldots,p^nv_q(\alpha_{2g_n}(n))\}

are determined explicitly by their values for 0≤n≤n00\leq n\leq n_0 using finitely many arithmetic progressions.

This conjecture refines pp-rank and genus stability into predictions for the full slope data of zeta functions. The source presents the three parts as conjectural and gives no resolution status.
