Isocrystals and de Rham-Witt connections
Abstract
We introduce the notion of integrable connections for a sheaf of differential graded algebras on a topological space. We then describe them in the finite locally projective setting, when the sheaf is either the de Rham complex of a formal or a weakly formal scheme, or for the convergent or the overconvergent de Rham-Witt complex on a smooth scheme over a perfect field of positive characteristic. This enables us to give a new description of convergent and overconvergent isocrystals with a Frobenius structure.
