Overholonomic arithmetical D-modules

Abstract

Let $k$ be a perfect field of characteristic $p >0$, $U$ be a variety over $k$ and $F$ be a power of Frobenius. We construct the category of overholonomic arithmetical ($F$-)$\D$-modules over $U$ and the category of overholonomic ($F$-)complexes over $U$. We prove that overholonomic complexes over $U$ are stables by direct images, inverse images, extraordinary inverse images, extraordinary direct images, dual functors. Moreover, in the smooth case, we check that unit-root overconvergent $F$-isocrystals are overholonomic. In particular, they are holonomic.
