Logarithmic A$_{\rm inf}$-cohomology

Abstract

We extend the construction of A$_{\rm inf}$-cohomology by Bhatt-Morrow-Scholze to the context of log $p$-adic formal schemes over a log perfectoid base. In particular, using coordinates, we prove comparison theorems between log A$_{\rm inf}$-cohomology with other $p$-adic cohomology theories, including log de Rham, log (q-)crystalline, log prismatic, and Kummer \'etale cohomology, as well as the derived A$_{\rm inf}$-cohomology of certain infinite root stacks. Along the way, we define and give a combinatorial characterization of a new class of maps between saturated log schemes, called pseudo-saturated maps, which is of independent interest. They are related to (and slightly weaker than) the notion of quasi-saturated maps and maps of Cartier type studied by Tsuji.
