The weight-monodromy conjecture for proper smooth varieties

Let KK be the local field and FF its residue field, let XKX_K be a proper smooth variety over KK, and let

V:=Heˊtw(XKsep,Ql).V:= H^w_{\operatorname{ét}}(X_{K^{\operatorname{sep}}},\mathbb{Q}_l).

Let MM be the monodromy filtration on VV and WW the weight filtration on VV. Weight-monodromy conjecture. The monodromy operator NN induces an isomorphism

Nr ⁣:E2r,w+r(r)E2r,wrN^r \colon E_2^{-r,\,w+r}(r) \xrightarrow{\cong} E_2^{r,\,w-r}

for all r,wr,w. Equivalently, under the stated hypotheses on the residue field, the filtrations satisfy MkV=Ww+kVM_kV=W_{w+k}V for all kk. This is also called Deligne's conjecture on the purity of the monodromy filtration. Partial results are known, but the conjecture remains open in general, including in mixed characteristic and dimension at least three.
