Comparison Isomorphisms for Smooth Formal Schemes

For a smooth proper scheme or formal scheme over an unramified, complete DVR of mixed characteristics we prove a comparison isomorphism relating etale cohomology of the generic fiber with values in a crystalline etale sheaf to the crystalline cohomology of its special fiber with values in the associated F-isocrystal

Boolean Coverings of Quantum Observable Structure: A Setting for an Abstract Differential Geometric Mechanism

We develop the idea of employing localization systems of Boolean coverings, associated with measurement situations, in order to comprehend structures of Quantum Observables. In this manner, Boolean domain observables constitute structure sheaves of coordinatization coefficients in the attempt to probe the Quantum world. Interpretational aspects of the proposed scheme are discussed with respect to a functorial formulation of information exchange, as well as, quantum logical considerations. Finally, the sheaf theoretical construction suggests an opearationally intuitive method to develop differential geometric concepts in the quantum regime.Comment: 25 pages, Late

Decomposition numbers for perverse sheaves

The purpose of this article is to set foundations for decomposition numbers of perverse sheaves, to give some methods to calculate them in simple cases, and to compute them concretely in two situations: for a simple (Kleinian) surface singularity, and for the closure of the minimal non-trivial orbit in a simple Lie algebra. This work has applications to modular representation theory, for Weyl groups using the nilpotent cone of the corresponding semisimple Lie algebra, and for reductive algebraic group schemes using the affine Grassmannian of the Langlands dual group
