Cycle classes in overconvergent rigid cohomology and a semistable Lefschetz $(1,1)$ theorem

Abstract

In this article we prove a semistable version of the variational Tate conjecture for divisors in crystalline cohomology, stating that a rational (logarithmic) line bundle on the special fibre of a semistable scheme over $k[[t]]$ lifts to the total space if and only if its first Chern class does. The proof is elementary, using standard properties of the logarithmic de Rham-Witt complex. As a corollary, we deduce similar algebraicity lifting results for cohomology classes on varieties over global function fields. Finally, we give a counter example to show that the variational Tate conjecture for divisors cannot hold with ${\mathbb{Q}}_p$-coefficients.
