Deformation theory of periodic Higgs-de Rham flows

Abstract

In this note we study the deformation theory of periodic (logarithmic) Higgs-de Rham flows. Under suitable numerical assumptions, this is equivalent to the deformation theory of torsion (logarithmic) Fontaine-Faltings modules. As an application, we formulate an \emph{ordinarity} condition, which provides a sufficient condition for a $p^n$-torsion crystalline representation to deform to a $p^{n+1}$-torsion crystalline representation.
