$K(\pi ,1)$-neighborhoods and comparison theorems

Abstract

A technical ingredient in Faltings' original approach to p-adic comparison theorems involves the construction of $K(\pi ,1)$-neighborhoods for a smooth scheme X over a mixed characteristic dvr with a perfect residue field: every point of X has an open neighborhood whose general fiber is a $K(\pi ,1)$ scheme (a notion analogous to having a contractible universal cover). We show how to extend this result to the logarithmically smooth case, which might help to simplify some proofs in p-adic Hodge theory. The main ingredient of the proof is a variant of a trick of Nagata used in his proof of the Noether Normalization Lemma.
