The p-adic Simpson Correspondence

The p -adic Simpson correspondence, recently initiated by Gerd Faltings, aims at describing all p -adic representations of the fundamental group of a proper smooth variety over a p -adic field in terms of linear algebra—namely Higgs bundles. This book undertakes a systematic development of the theory following two new approaches, one by Ahmed Abbes and Michel Gros, the other by Takeshi Tsuji. The authors mainly focus on generalized representations of the fundamental group that are p -adically cl
