Weak ordinarity conjecture

Let XX be a smooth projective variety over \bC\bC, let A=SpecRA=\operatorname{Spec}R where RR is a finitely generated \bZ\bZ-algebra containing \bZ\bZ, and let XAAX_A\to A be a spreading out of XX over AA, so that XA×A\bCXX_A\times_A\bC\cong X. Thus XAX_A is a family of characteristic p>0p>0 models of XX. Weak ordinarity conjecture. There exists a Zariski-dense set of closed points UAU\subseteq A such that, for every point pUp\in U, writing Xp=XA×Ak(p)X_p=X_A\times_A k(p), the Frobenius morphism induces a bijection

Hi(Xp,OXp)Hi(Xp,FeOXp)H^i(X_p,\operatorname{\mathcal O}_{X_p})\longrightarrow H^i(X_p,F^e_*\operatorname{\mathcal O}_{X_p})

for every ii and every ee. This conjecture predicts a dense set of reductions with ordinary Frobenius action on the cohomology of the structure sheaf; it is motivated by work of Mustaţă and Srinivas, but the supplied text does not state whether it has been resolved.

  1. The weak ordinarity conjecture

    Let VV be an nn-dimensional smooth projective variety over a field kk of characteristic zero. Given a model of VV over a finitely generated bb-subalgebra AA of kk, and writing VsV_s for the fiber over a closed point sbsb of boperatornameSpecAboperatorname{Spec} A, the weak ordinarity conjecture. There exists a Zariski-dense set of closed points SSpecAS \subseteq \operatorname{Spec} A such that the action induced by Frobenius on Hn(Vs,OVs)H^n(V_s, \mathcal{O}_{V_s}) is bijective for every sSs \in S. The conjecture is a weak form of ordinarity: ordinarity implies the stated Frobenius-bijectivity condition, but the converse need not hold. Its status here is refuted.

  2. The Weak Ordinarity Conjecture

    Let YY be a smooth, connected projective variety over an algebraically closed field kk of characteristic 00. Given a model YAY_A over a finitely generated Z\mathbb{Z}-algebra AA, consider the closed points sSpecAs\in\operatorname{Spec}A for which the action of Frobenius on

    HdimYs(Ys,OYs)\operatorname{H}^{\dim Y_s}(Y_s,\mathcal{O}_{Y_s})

    is bijective. Weak Ordinarity Conjecture. This set of points is dense in SpecA\operatorname{Spec}A. The conjecture concerns reduction modulo primes and the relationship between Frobenius action and characteristic-zero singularities; the source records its role in implications for dense F-pure type, but gives no resolution status.

  3. The weak ordinarity conjecture

    Let XX be an nn-dimensional smooth projective variety over a field kk of characteristic zero. Given a model of XX over a finitely generated bZbb\mathbb{Z}b-subalgebra AA of kk, there exists a Zariski-dense set of closed points SSpecAS \subseteq \operatorname{Spec} A such that the action of Frobenius on Hn(Xs,OXs)H^n(X_s, \mathcal{O}_{X_s}) is bijective for all sSs \in S.

    Weak ordinarity conjecture. The assertion above holds for every such XX and every model.

    This conjecture concerns Frobenius actions on the top coherent cohomology of reductions of smooth projective varieties. It is stated as strictly weaker than ordinarity in the sense of Bloch and Kato and is used to relate characteristic-zero multiplier ideals to characteristic-pp test ideals.
