A note on the crystalline subrepresentation functor

Abstract

We propose the notion of the {\em crystalline sub-representation functor} defined on $p$-adic representations of the Galois groups of finite extensions of $\Qp$, with certain restrictions in the case of integral representations. By studying its right-derived functors, we find a natural extension of a formula of Grothendieck expressing the group of connected components of a Neron model of an abelian variety in terms of Galois cohomology.
