Geometric syntomic cohomology and vector bundles on the Fargues-Fontaine curve

Abstract

We show that geometric syntomic cohomology lifts canonically to the category of Banach-Colmez spaces and study its relation to extensions of modifications of vector bundles on the Fargues-Fontaine curve. We include some computations of geometric syntomic cohomology Spaces: they are finite rank $Q_p$-vector spaces for ordinary varieties, but in the nonordinary case, these cohomology Spaces carry much more information, in particular they can have a non-trivial $C$-rank. This dichotomy is reminiscent of the Hodge-Tate period map for $p$-divisible groups.
