Content

The de Rham comparison theorem for proper, smooth schemes over p-adic fields yields an isomorphism of two different cohomological invariants, namely p-adic étale cohomology and de Rham cohomology. Thus, it implies a non-trivial condition on the Galois representations appearing in cohomology (they are "deRham"), which is crucial for the Fontaine-Mazur conjecture. A major difficulty in establishing the de Rham comparison is the absence of a (naive) version of the Poincaré lemma for rigid-analytic spaces. Following Scholze's work on p-adic Hodge theory, a major goal of the course will be to establish a non-trivial modification of the Poincaré lemma via perfectoid spaces, and thus also to provide an introduction to the latter. Prerequisites are some understanding of étale cohomology of schemes (sites etc.) and topological algebra (completions of rings, valuations etc.). Knowledge of rigid-analytic varieties or adic spaces is helpful, but not strictly necessary.
My handwritten lecture notes as well as Thomas Manopulo's live texed notes can be found here.
