The local companion points conjecture

Let KK be the coefficient field, let LL be a finite extension of Qp\mathbb{Q}_p, and let Σ\Sigma denote the relevant embeddings of KK. Consider a point

z=(r,δ1,,δn)Spf(Rr)ηad(L)×Tn(L).z=(r,\delta_1,\ldots,\delta_n)\in \mathrm{Spf}(R^{\square}_{\overline r})^{\mathrm{ad}}_\eta(L)\times\mathcal{T}^n(L).

Assume that rr is regular with integral τ\tau-Hodge--Tate--Sen weights {hτ,1<<hτ,n}\{h_{\tau,1}<\cdots<h_{\tau,n}\} for every τΣ\tau\in\Sigma. Let xX(L)x\in X(L) be the point associated with rr, and let S(x)\mathcal{S}(x) be the set of permutations indexing the components of XX that pass through xx.

The local companion points conjecture. The following conditions are equivalent:

  1. zXtri(r)(L)z\in X_{\mathrm{tri}}(\overline r)(L).
  2. rr is trianguline, with a triangulation having parameters δ1,,δn\delta'_1,\ldots,\delta'_n, and there is a permutation wS(x)w\in\mathcal{S}(x) such that, for every i{1,,n}i\in\{1,\ldots,n\},
δi=δiτΣxτhτ,wτ(i)wtτ(δi).\delta_i=\delta'_i\prod_{\tau\in\Sigma}x_\tau^{h_{\tau,w_\tau(i)}-\mathrm{wt}_\tau(\delta'_i)}.

This conjecture is a local analogue of companion-points conjectures in the global setting and is implicit in work of Breuil--Hellmann--Schraen. It characterizes membership in the trianguline variety through triangulations whose parameters are related to the Hodge--Tate data by permutations arising from the geometry of the associated point. The statement is given for regular integral weights; a version for regular non-integral weights requires modified definitions of XX and of the point associated with rr.
