Chern classes of crystals
arXiv:1511.06874
Abstract
The crystalline Chern classes of the value of a locally free crystal vanish on a smooth variety defined over a perfect field. Out of this we conclude new cases of de Jong's conjecture relating the geometric étale fundamental group of a smooth projective variety defined over a perfect field and the triviality of its category of isocrystals. We also discuss the case of the Gauß-Manin convergent isocrystal.
