Algebraic Geometry of Infinite Type

Now let $F$ be a local field (e.g. $F=\mathbb{F}_ q((\omega)), F/\mathbb{Q}_ p$ finite extension). Let $F\supseteq \mathcal{O}_ F\supseteq \mathfrak{m}_ F$ and $\kappa_ F:=\mathcal{O}_ F/\mathfrak{m}_ F$ the residue field. Set $k:=\overline{\kappa_ F}$ the algebraic closure of the residue field. Let $\varpi$ be a uniformizer of $\mathcal{O}_ F$.

🔗Isocrystals

Definition 1. Let $LG$ be the loop group of $F$ defined over $\kappa_ F$: $$\begin{split} LG:\mathrm{CAlg}_ {\kappa_ F}^{\mathrm{Perf}} &\rightarrow \mathrm{Grps}\ R&\mapsto G(W_ {\mathcal{O}}(R)[\frac{1}{\varpi}]), \end{split}$$ where $$W_ {\mathcal{O}}(R):=\varprojlim_ {n}(W(R)\otimes_ {\mathbb{Z}_ p}\mathcal{O}_ F/\varpi^n).$$

In particular, $LG(\kappa)=G(F)$.

Then one can prove that $LG=\varinjlim_ {n}X_ n$, where each $X_ n$ is a perfect affine scheme over $\kappa_ F$, though one can not require every $X_ n$ is a group scheme.

Let $\mathcal{G}/\mathcal{O}_ F$ be a smooth integral model of $G/F$. Then we can define

Definition 2. $$\begin{split} L^+\mathcal{G}: \mathrm{CAlg}^{\mathrm{Perf}}_ {\kappa_ F} &\rightarrow \mathrm{Grps}\ R&\mapsto \mathcal{G}(W_ {\mathcal{O}}(R)). \end{split}$$

Then $L^+\mathcal{G}$ is a closed in $LG$.

In fact, $L^+\mathcal{G}$ is represented by a group prefect affine scheme over $\kappa_ F$. For each $n$, let $$\begin{split} L^n\mathcal{G}: \mathrm{CAlg}^{\mathrm{Perf}}_ {\kappa_ F} &\rightarrow \mathrm{Grps}\ R&\mapsto \mathcal{G}(W_ {\mathcal{O}}(R)/\varpi^n). \end{split}$$ Then $L^+\mathcal{G}=\varprojlim_ {n}L^n\mathcal{G}$, where each $L^n\mathcal{G}$ is represented by an affine group perfect scheme.

Note that each $L^{n+1}\mathcal{G}\rightarrow L^n\mathcal{G}$ is a surjection, whose fibers are (perfection of ) affine spaces. We also observe that $L^1\mathcal{G}=\mathcal{G}\otimes_ {\mathcal{O}}\kappa_ F$ and $L^0\mathcal{G}={1}$.

Example 3. If $G/F$ extends to a reductive group scheme $\underline{G}/\mathcal{O}_ F$, then $\underline{G}(\mathcal{O}_ F)$ is called a hyperspecial subgroup of $G(F)$. We call $L^+\underline{G}$ hyperspecial.

Example 4. In fact, $G/F$ always admits a smooth affine integral model $\mathcal{I}$ called the Iwahori, such that

  • $\mathcal{I}\otimes_ {\mathcal{O}_ F}\kappa_ F$ is connected solvable;
  • $LG/L^+\mathcal{I}$ is ind-proper.

Remark 5. If $\underline{G}/\mathcal{O}_ F$ exists, then we have Cartesian square

Fact: If $\mathcal{G}/\mathcal{O}_ F$ is an affine flat integral model of $G/F$, then $LG/L^+\mathcal{G}$ is represented by an ind-scheme $$LG/L^+\mathcal{G}=\varinjlim{}X_ n$$ where $X_ n$ is of (perfectly) finite type over $\kappa_ F$.

We always have $$1\rightarrow (L^+\mathcal{I})^u\rightarrow L^+\mathcal{I}\rightarrow S\rightarrow 1$$ such that

  • $L^+\mathcal{I}$ is pro-unipotent;
  • $S$ is a torus;
  • there exists a splitting $S\rightarrow L^+\mathcal{I}$.

Then motivated by the case of finite fields (or $L^1\mathcal{G}$), we want to consider the correspondence

Definition 6. We define $[LG/\mathrm{Ad}_ \sigma LG]_ {\textrm{'et}}$ to be the 'etale sheafification of $$R\mapsto LG(R)/\mathrm{Ad}_ {\sigma}LG(R)=G(W_ {\mathcal{O}}(R)[\frac{1}{\varpi}])/\mathrm{Ad}_ \sigma G(W_ {\mathcal{O}}(R)[\frac{1}{\varpi}]).$$

Definition 7. Let $\mathrm{Isoc}_ G^{\textrm{'et}}$ be the moduli stack, defined by $$R\mapsto{(\mathcal{E},\varphi)|\mathcal{E}\textrm{ is a }G\textrm{-torsor on }D_ R^\times:=\mathrm{Spec}(W_ {\mathcal{O}}(R)[\frac{1}{\varpi}]), \textrm{s.t. there exists} R\xrightarrow{\textrm{'etale}}R’, \mathcal{E}|_ {D_ {R’}^\times}\textrm{ is trivial}, \varphi:\mathcal{E}\xrightarrow{\cong}\sigma_ R^\ast\mathcal{E}}.$$

Lemma 8. There is an identification $[LG/\mathrm{Ad}_ \sigma LG]_ {\textrm{'et}}\cong \mathrm{Isoc}_ G^\textrm{'et}$.

Remark 9. It is not clear if every $G$-torsor on $D_ R^\times$ can be trivialized 'etale locally on $\mathrm{Spec} R$.

  • There exists a counterexample when $\mathcal{O}=\kappa_ F[[\varpi]]$ and allowing $R$ to be imperfect.
  • It is known that every $G$-torsor on $D_ R^\times$ can be trivialized after passing to suitable $h$-cover $R\rightarrow R’$.

In general, we have $$\mathrm{Isoc}_ G^{\textrm{pro'et}}\hookrightarrow\mathrm{Isoc}_ G^\textrm{'et}\hookrightarrow \mathrm{Isoc}_ G^h,$$ where $$\mathrm{Isoc}_ G^\textrm{pro'et}(R)=\{(\mathcal{E},\varphi)| \mathcal{E}\textrm{ is a }G\textrm{-torsor on }D_ R^\times:=\mathrm{Spec}(W_ {\mathcal{O}}(R)[\frac{1}{\varpi}]),\textrm{s.t. there exists} R\xrightarrow{\textrm{pro-'etale}}R’,\mathcal{E}|_ {D_ {R’}^\times}\textrm{ is trivial}, \varphi:\mathcal{E}\xrightarrow{\cong}\sigma_ R^\ast\mathcal{E}\},$$ and $$\mathrm{Isoc}_ G^\textrm{h}(R)={(\mathcal{E},\varphi)|\mathcal{E}\textrm{ is a }G\textrm{-torsor on }D_ R^\times:=\mathrm{Spec}(W_ {\mathcal{O}}(R)[\frac{1}{\varpi}]), \varphi:\mathcal{E}\xrightarrow{\cong}\sigma_ R^\ast\mathcal{E}},$$

Proposition 10. For any $K\hookrightarrow K’$ inclusion of algebraically closed fields, we have $$\mathrm{Isoc}^\textrm{'et}_ G(K)\xrightarrow{\cong}\mathrm{Isoc}^\textrm{'et}_ G(K’).$$

The field $L:=W_ \mathcal{O}(K)[\frac{1}{\varpi}]$ has cohomological dimension 1, and we define $$B(G):=|\mathrm{Isoc}^\textrm{pro'et}_ G(K)|=|\mathrm{Isoc}^\textrm{'et}_ G(K)|=|\mathrm{Isoc}^h_ G(K)|,$$ namely, $B(G)=G(L)/\mathrm{Ad}_ \sigma G(L)\cong G(\breve{F}/)/\mathrm{Ad}_ \sigma G(\breve{F})$.

Fact: Assume that $G$ is reductive, then

  • There is an injection $$\begin{split} (\nu,\kappa_ G):B(G)&\hookrightarrow X_ *(T)_ \mathbb{Q}^{I_ F}\times \pi_ 1(G)_ {\Gamma_ {\widetilde{F}/F}},\ b&\mapsto (\nu_ b,\kappa_ G(b)), \end{split}$$ where $\Gamma_ {\widetilde{F}/F}$ denotes the finite quotient of $\Gamma_ F=\mathrm{Gal}(\overline{F}/F)$, such that the action of $\Gamma_ F$ on the root data of $G$ factors through the quotient.
  • there exists a partial order: $b_ 1\leq b_ 2$ if and only if $\kappa_ G(b_ 1)=\kappa_ G(b_ 2)$ and $\nu_ {b_ 2}-\nu_ {b_ 1}$ is a riational positive combination of simple coroots.
  • Minimal elements $B(G)_ {bsc}\cong \pi_ 1(G)_ {\Gamma_ {\widetilde{F}/F}}$, and $b\in B(G)$ satisfies $\nu_ {b}\in X_ *(Z_ G)$.
  • For $b\in G(L)$, $\mathrm{Aut}(b)(\overline{\kappa_ F}):={g\in G(L):g^{-1}b\sigma(g)=b}$. More generally, $$\mathrm{Aut}(b): \mathrm{CAlg}^{\mathrm{pref}_ {\overline{\kappa_ F}}} \rightarrow \mathrm{Grps}, \quad R \mapsto \mathrm{Aut}_ {\mathrm{Isoc}(R)}(b)$$ and $$J_ b: F\textrm{-Alg} \rightarrow \mathrm{Grps}, \quad R \mapsto {g\in G(R\times_ F\breve{F}):g^{-1}b\sigma(g)=b}$$ In particular, $\mathrm{Aut}(b)(\overline{\kappa_ F})=J_ b(F)\hookrightarrow J_ b(\breve{F})$, is conjuagate to $Z_ G(\nu_ b)(\breve{F})$ a levi.
  • As a corollary, $b$ is basic if and only if $J_ b(K)=G(\breve{F})$.

Proposition 11. If $G$ is quasi-split, then

  • $J_ b$ is an inner form of a Levi of $G$.
  • $\mathrm{Aut}(b)(\overline{\kappa_ F})=\underline{J_ b}(F)$ regarded as an ind-scheme over $\overline{\kappa_ F}$.

Assume that $G$ is quasi-split. Consider $$G\supseteq B\supseteq T\supseteq S\supseteq A,$$ where

  • $B$ is a Borel,
  • $T$ is a maximal torus,
  • $S$ is a maximal $F^{\textrm{ur}}$-split torus,
  • $A$ is a maximal $F$-split torus.

Then $$Z_ G(S)=T$$ and $$N_ G(S)=N_ G(T).$$

Definition 12. We define the extended affine Wely group $\widetilde{W}$ by $$\widetilde{W}:=N_ G(S)(\breve{F})/Z_ G(S)(\mathcal{O}_ {\breve{F}}).$$

Define $$W_ 0:=N_ G(S)(\breve{F})/Z_ G(S)(\breve{F}),$$ we have a short exact sequence (compatible with $\sigma$-action) $$1\rightarrow X_ *(T)_ {I_ F}\rightarrow \widetilde{W}\rightarrow W_ 0\rightarrow 1.$$ Observe that $H^1(Z_ G(S)(\mathcal{O}_ F),\mathrm{Gal})=0$ by Lang’s isogeny theorem and compatibility with taking inverse limit.

We similarly define $B(\widetilde{W}):=\widetilde{W}//\mathrm{Ad}_ \sigma \widetilde{W}$. We then have a diagram

Proposition 13. The natural map $B(N_ G(S))\rightarrow B(G)$ is a surjection.

For any $w$, there exists some integer $n$, such that $(w\sigma)^n:=w\cdot \sigma(w)\cdot \sigma^2(w)\cdot\cdots\cdot \sigma^{n-1}(w)\in X_ *(T)_ {I_ F}$.

Define $\widetilde{\nu}(w):=\frac{(w\sigma)^n}{n}$, which is independent of the choice of $n$.

Definition 14. An element in $\widetilde{W}$ is called $\sigma$-straight, if $$l(w)=\frac{l(w\sigma)^n}{n}=<{\nu}(w),2\rho>\in\mathbb{Z}_ {\geq0}$$ for $n>>0$, where $\nu(w)$ is translating $\widetilde{\nu}(w)$ to dominant chamber.

Definition 15. A $\sigma$-conjugacy class in $\widetilde{W}$ is called $\sigma$-straight, if it contains a $\sigma$-straight element.

Theorem 16. $B(\widetilde{W})_ {\textrm{str}}\xrightarrow{\cong}B(G)$.

Definition 17. We define local Shtukas $$\mathrm{Sht}^{\textrm{loc}}:=[LG/\mathrm{Ad}_ \sigma \mathcal{I}_ w]_ \textrm{'et},$$ where $\mathcal{I}_ w:=L^+\mathcal{I}$ denotes the Iwahori.

We can also describe local shtukas via moduli $$\mathrm{Sht}^{\textrm{loc}}(R)={(\mathcal{E},\phi):\mathcal{E}\textrm{ is an }\mathcal{I}_ w\textrm{-torsor on }D_ R:=\mathrm{Spec} W_ \mathcal{O}(R), \phi:\mathcal{E}|_ {D_ R^\times}\xrightarrow{\cong}\sigma^\ast\mathcal{E}|_ {D_ R^\times}}.$$ Then we have a natural map $$\mathrm{Sht}^{\textrm{loc}}=[LG/\mathrm{Ad}_ \sigma \mathcal{I}_ w]_ \textrm{'et}\rightarrow [LG/\mathrm{Ad}_ \sigma LG]_ \textrm{'et}=\mathrm{Isoc}_ G^\textrm{'et}.$$

Proposition 18. The natural map $ \mathrm{Sht}^{\textrm{loc}}\rightarrow \mathrm{Isoc}_ G^\textrm{'et}$ is representable by an ind-proper algebraic space.

Let $\mathcal{P}$ be a parahoric subgroup. Then we have $$\mathrm{Sht}^{\textrm{loc}}\rightarrow\mathrm{Sht}^{\textrm{loc}}_ \mathcal{P}\xrightarrow{\mathrm{Nt}}\mathrm{Isoc}^\textrm{'et},$$ where $$\mathrm{Sht}^{\textrm{loc}}_ \mathcal{P}:=[LG/\mathrm{Ad}_ \sigma L^+\mathcal{P}].$$ Fact: $\mathrm{Nt}$ is representable by ind-finitely presented ind-proper algebraic spaces:

while $LG/L^+\mathcal{P}=\varinjlim_ {i}X_ i$ ind-proper, and one can choose $X_ i$ such that each $X_ i$ is invariant under the \'etale relation and satisfies descent.

Recall that $$|\mathrm{Isoc}^\textrm{'et}_ G(K)|=B(G)\hookrightarrow{(\nu,\kappa_ G)}X_ *(T)_ \mathbb{Q}^{I_ F}\times\pi_ 1(G)_ {\Gamma_ {\widetilde{F}/F}}.$$ We have a short exact sequence $$1\rightarrow W_ {\textrm{aff}}\rightarrow \widetilde{W}\xrightarrow{\widetilde{\kappa}}\pi_ 1(G)_ {I_ F}\rightarrow 1,$$ which admits a splitting $\pi_ 1(G)_ {I_ F}\rightarrow \widetilde{W}$.

Definition 19. For $b\in B(G)$, we define a subfunctor $$\mathrm{Isoc}_ {\leq b}^\textrm{'et}\hookrightarrow\mathrm{Isoc}^\textrm{'et}$$ by $$R\mapsto {(\mathcal{E},\phi)\in\mathrm{Isoc}^\textrm{'et}(R):\forall \textrm{ geometric point }x\rightarrow \mathrm{Spec} R, (\mathcal{E}_ x,\phi_ x)\leq b}.$$ We define $\mathrm{Isoc}_ b^\textrm{'et}$ by replacing $\leq b$ with $=b$.

Proposition 20. The immersions $\mathrm{Isoc}_ b^\textrm{'et}\xrightarrow{j_ b}\mathrm{Isoc}_ {\leq b}^\textrm{'et}\xrightarrow{i_ {\leq b}}\mathrm{Isoc}^\textrm{'et}$ satisfy

  • $i_ {\leq b}$ is finitely presented closed immersion;
  • $j_ b$ is affine and quasi-compact open immersion.

Theorem 21. $$\mathrm{Isoc}_ b^\textrm{'et}=[*/\underline{J_ b(F)}]_ {\textrm{pro'et}}.$$

For $b\in B(G)$, and pick $w_ b\in\widetilde{W}$ a $\sigma$-straight element whose $\sigma$-conjugacy class corresponds to $b$. Then $$\mathcal{I}_ b:=\mathrm{Aut}(\dot{w}_ b):R\mapsto {g\in \mathcal{I}_ w(R):\dot{w}_ b\sigma(g)\dot{w}_ b^{-1}=g}$$ is a subfunctor of $\mathcal{I}_ w$, and also a subfunctor of $$\underline{J_ b(F)}\cong\mathrm{Aut}(b):R\mapsto {g\in LG(R):b\sigma(g)b^{-1}=g}.$$

Proposition 22. We have $$\mathcal{I}_ w\backslash LG/\mathcal{I}_ w\cong\widetilde{W}.$$

Proposition 23. $$\mathrm{Sht}_ w^{\textrm{loc}}:={LG}_ w/\mathrm{Ad}_ \sigma \mathcal{I}_ w\cong \mathbf{B}_ {\textrm{prof'et}}\mathcal{I}_ b.$$ where prof'et is short for pro-finite-'etale.

Explicitly, $LG_ w=\mathcal{I}_ w\dot{w}\mathcal{I}_ w$ for $w\in\widetilde{W}$.

Example 24. Take $w=1$, then $\mathrm{Sht}_ 1^{\textrm{loc}}=[\mathcal{I}_ w/\mathrm{Ad}_ \sigma\mathcal{I}_ w]_ \textrm{'et}\cong [*/\mathcal{I}(\mathcal{O}_ F)]_ {\textrm{prof'et}}$.

We want to show that for any Cartesian square
we can find some pro-finite-\'etale covering $\widetilde{S}\rightarrow S$, such that the base change $\widetilde{S}\times_ S S''\cong \widetilde{S}\times \mathcal{I}_ w$. Now after some \'etale cover $S'\rightarrow S$, $S'\rightarrow [\mathcal{I}_ w/\mathrm{Ad}_ \sigma\mathcal{I}_ w]_ \textrm{\'et}$ factors through $\mathcal{I}_ w$. Also note that by definition, the base change $\mathcal{I}_ w\times_ {[\mathcal{I}_ w/\mathrm{Ad}_ \sigma\mathcal{I}_ w]_ \textrm{\'et}}*\cong \mathcal{I}_ w$. Now remember that $$\mathcal{I}_ w=\varprojlim_ {n}L^n\mathcal{I},$$ and hence $ \mathcal{I}_ w\xrightarrow{g\mapsto g^{-1}\sigma(g)} \mathcal{I}_ w$ is pro-finite-\'etale. So $S'''\rightarrow S'$ is pro-fintie-\'etale. Therefore, after some pro-finite-\'etale $\widetilde{S}\rightarrow{S'}$ base change, the torsor is trivialized.

Lemma 25. We have

where $\mathrm{Sht}_ w^{\textrm{loc}}:=\mathrm{LG}_ w/\mathrm{Ad}_ \sigma\mathcal{I}_ w$.

Let $\mathcal{O}$ be a $\sigma$-conjugacy class in $\widetilde{W}$ and $\mathcal{O}_ {\textrm{min}}\in\mathcal{O}$ minimal length elements in $\mathcal{O}$.

Proposition 26. For every $w\in \mathcal{O}$, there exists a sequence $x_ 1,\dots, x_ r\in \widetilde{W}$, such that

  • $l(x_ i)\leq 1$, ($l(x_ i)=0$ if and only if $x_ i \mathcal{I}_ w x_ i^{-1}=\mathcal{I}_ w$);
  • $w_ i:=(x_ 1\cdots x_ i) w\sigma(x_ 1\cdots x_ i)^{-1},$ then $$l(w)\geq l(w_ 1)\geq l(w_ 2)\geq\cdots \geq l(w_ r)$$
  • $w_ r\in\mathcal{O}_ {\textrm{min}}$.

Proposition 27. Let $w,v\in\mathcal{O}_ {\textrm{min}}$, there exists $x_ 1,\dots, x_ r\in\widetilde{W}$, and $w_ i:=x_ i w_ {i-1}\sigma(x_ i)^{-1}$, $w_ 0:=w$, such that

  • $w_ r=v$;
  • $l(w_ i)=l(w_ {i-1})$;
  • either $l(w_ i\sigma(x_ i))=l(w_ i)+l(x_ i)$, or $l(w_ i)=l(w_ i\sigma(x_ i))+l(x_ i)$.

Proposition 28. There exists some $w\in \mathcal{O}_ {\textrm{min}}$ of the form $w=ux$, where

  • $x$ is $\sigma$-straight,
  • $x\sigma(W_ \mathcal{P})x^{-1}=W_ \mathcal{P}$, where $\mathcal{P}$ is some standard parahoric and $x$ is of minimal length in $W_ \mathcal{P} x$.
  • $u\in W_ \mathcal{P}$.

Let $x,y\in\widetilde{W}$ and $l(x)\leq 1, l(y)\leq 1$. Now observe that if $l(yx)=l(x)+l(y)$, then the following data

are the same, i.e. $$\mathrm{Sht}_ {x\sigma(y)}\cong\mathrm{Sht}_ {yx},$$ * $l(yx)=l(x\sigma(y))$; * either $l(yx\sigma(y)^{-1})=l(yx)+l(y)$ or $l(yx)=l(yx\sigma(y)^{-1})+l(y)$.

In particular, $$\mathrm{Sht}_ {xw\sigma(x)^{-1}}\cong\mathrm{Sht}_ {w},$$ if

  • $l(xw\sigma(x)^{-1})=l(w)$,
  • either $l(w\sigma(x))=l(w)+l(x)$, or $l(w)=l(w\sigma(x))+l(x)$.

Corollary 29. For any two $w_ 1,w_ 2\in\mathcal{O}_ {\textrm{min}}$, we have that $$\mathrm{Sht}_ {w_ 1}^{\textrm{loc}}\cong\mathrm{Sht}_ {w_ 2}^{\textrm{loc}}.$$

Now take $w\in\mathcal{O}_ \textrm{min}$ as in Prop. 5.18, such that $w=ux$, where $u\in W_ \mathcal{P}$ and $x$ is $\sigma$-straight. Let $b\in B(G)$ the image of $x$ under $B(\widetilde{W})_ {\textrm{str}}\cong B(G)$.

Then We have the diagram

where $$\mathcal{P}_ b:=\{g\in\mathcal{P}(\mathcal{O}_ {\breve{F}}):g^{-1}x\sigma(g)=x\},$$ equipped with a new Frobenius structure.

🔗More Sheaf Theory

Let $\Lambda=\overline{\mathbb{F}}_ \ell$, or $\overline{\mathbb{Z}}_ \ell,$ or $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}_ \ell$ be the coefficient ring. Let $k=\overline{k}$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p\neq\ell$.

Recall that for $\Lambda=\mathbb{F}_ \ell$, $S$ a qcqs scheme, we have that $$\mathrm{Ind}D_ c(S_ \textrm{'et},\mathbb{F}_ \ell)\rightarrow D(S_ \textrm{'et}, \mathbb{F}_ \ell)\hookrightarrow D_ \textrm{'et}(S,\mathbb{F}_ \ell):=\varprojlim_ {n} D(S_ \textrm{'et},\mathbb{F}_ \ell)^{\geq n},$$ i.e. $ D_ \textrm{'et}(S,\mathbb{F}_ \ell)$ is the left completion of $D(S_ \textrm{'et},\mathbb{F}_ \ell)$ with respect to the natural t-structure and $D_ c(S_ \textrm{'et},\mathbb{F}_ \ell)=D_ {\textrm{cft}}(S_ \textrm{'et},\mathbb{F}_ \ell)$ is the smallest idempotent complete stable full subcategory of $D(S_ \textrm{'et},\mathbb{F}_ \ell)$ generated by $j_ !\Lambda_ U$, for $U\rightarrow S$ quasi-compact 'etale.

Notation: $\mathrm{Shv}^\ast(S,\mathbb{F}_ \ell):=\mathrm{Ind}\mathrm{Shv}_ c(S_ \textrm{'et},\mathbb{F}_ \ell)$. If $S$ is of finite type over $k$, then $$\mathrm{Shv}^\ast(S,\mathbb{F}_ \ell)\cong D(S_ \textrm{'et},\mathbb{F}_ \ell)\cong D_ \textrm{'et}(S,\mathbb{F}_ \ell).$$ In general, $$\mathrm{Shv}^\ast(S,\mathbb{F}_ \ell)^+\cong D(S_ \textrm{'et},\mathbb{F}_ \ell)^+\cong D_ \textrm{'et}(S,\mathbb{F}_ \ell)^+.$$

Remark 30. Note that $\mathrm{Shv}^\ast(S,\mathbb{F}_ \ell)$ is compactly generated, and hence dualizable; $D_ \textrm{'et}(S,\mathbb{F}_ \ell)$ satisfies pro-'etale descent.

Lemma 31. Assume that $S=\varprojlim_ {i} S_ i,$ where $S_ i$ are of finite type over $k$, and transition maps are eventually affine. Then $$\mathrm{Shv}^\ast(S,\mathbb{F}_ \ell)\cong\varinjlim_ {i}\mathrm{Shv}^\ast(S_ i,\mathbb{F}_ \ell)$$ with transtion maps given by $*$-pullbacks.

Definition 32. Let $S=\varprojlim_ {i}S_ i$, where $S_ i$ are of finite type over $k$, and transition maps are eventually affine. We define $$\mathrm{Shv}^\ast(S,\Lambda):=\varinjlim_ {i}\mathrm{Shv}^\ast(S_ i,\Lambda)$$ and $$\mathrm{Shv}^\ast(S_ i,\Lambda):=\mathrm{Ind}D_ {\textrm{cft}}((S_ i)_ \textrm{'et},\Lambda),$$ aka we define $*$-sheaf theory to be ind-completion of the derived category of constructible 'etale sheaves for a scheme of finite type over $k$ and use the left Kan extension to further define it for general qcqs schemes.

Example 33.

  1. If $S=\mathrm{Spec} k$, $k=\overline{k}$, then $$\mathrm{Shv}^\ast(S,\mathbb{F}_ \ell)\cong \mathrm{Shv}_ \textrm{'et}(S,\mathbb{F}_ \ell)\cong \mathrm{Shv}(S_ \textrm{'et},\mathbb{F}_ \ell)\cong\mathrm{Mod}_ {\mathbb{F}_ \ell}.$$
  2. $S=\mathrm{Spec} k(C)$, $C$ a curve over $k$, and $\Gamma:=\mathrm{Gal}(\overline{k(C)}/k(C))$. Then $$D(S_ \textrm{'et},\mathbb{F}_ \ell)\cong \mathrm{Rep}(\Gamma,\mathbb{F}_ \ell),$$ and we have $$\mathrm{Ind}\mathrm{Rep}_ {f.g.}(\Gamma,\mathbb{F}_ \ell)\twoheadrightarrow \mathrm{Rep}(\Gamma,\mathbb{F}_ \ell),$$ which is not an equivalence in general. We also have that $$\begin{split} \mathrm{Shv}^\ast(S,\mathbb{Z}_ \ell) &=\mathrm{Ind}\varinjlim_ {U\textrm{ open}} D_ {\textrm{cft}}(U,\mathbb{Z}_ \ell)\ &\cong \mathrm{Ind}\mathrm{Rep}_ {\textrm{un.a.e., f.g.}}(\Gamma,\mathbb{Z}_ \ell), \end{split}$$ where un$.$a$.$e$.$ is short for ``unramified almost everywhere’’. In this case, $$D(S_ \textrm{'et},\mathbb{Z}_ \ell)=\varprojlim_ {n}D(S_ \textrm{'et}, \mathbb{Z}/\ell^n\mathbb{Z})\cong \mathrm{Rep}_ {\textrm{cts}}(\Gamma,\mathbb{Z}_ \ell).$$
  3. Assume that $S$ is a profinite set over $k$. Then $$\mathrm{Shv}^\ast(S,\Lambda)=\varinjlim{}\mathrm{Shv}^\ast(S_ i,\Lambda).$$

Remark 34. The $*$-sheaf theory $\mathrm{Shv}^\ast$ does NOT satsify pro-'etale descent. For example, pro-'etale descent along $\overline{K}/K$ gives $\mathrm{Rep}(\Gamma,\mathbb{F}_ \ell)$ but not $\mathrm{IndRep}_ {f.g.}(\Gamma,\mathbb{F}_ \ell)$.

Theorem 35. The $*$-sheaf theory $\mathrm{Shv}^\ast$ satisfies 'etale descent. There exists a sheaf theory $$\mathrm{Corr}(\mathrm{Sch}^{\textrm{qcqs}}_ k)_ {\substack{H=f.p.\ V=\textrm{all}}}\rightarrow \mathrm{LinCat}_ \Lambda$$ lax symmetric monoidal functor. In particular, for a correspondence

with $g$ of finite presentation, we have a functor $$f_ !g^\ast: \mathrm{Shv}^\ast(Y)\rightarrow \mathrm{Shv}^\ast(X).$$

Now we define $!$-sheaf theory by

where $\mathrm{LinCat}^\omega_ \Lambda$ is $\Lambda$-linear compact generated categories with functor preserving compact objects and $$\mathbb{D}: \mathrm{LinCat}_ \Lambda^{\textrm{dualizable}} \rightarrow \mathrm{LinCat}_ \Lambda^{\textrm{dualizable}}, \quad \mathcal{C} \mapsto \mathcal{C}^\vee:=\mathrm{Fun}_ {\textrm{cts}}(\mathcal{C},\mathrm{Mod}_ \Lambda)$$ and $F:\mathcal{C}\rightarrow \mathcal{D}$ is sent to $F^\circ:=(F^\vee)^L=(F^R)^\vee$.

If $\mathcal{C}$ is compactly generated, then $\mathcal{C}^\vee\cong \mathrm{Ind}(\mathcal{C}^{\omega})^{\textrm{op}}$ and $F^\circ= \mathrm{Ind}(F|_ {\mathcal{C}^\omega})^{\textrm{op}}$.

So for $f: S\rightarrow T$ a morphism of schemes of finite type over $k$, we have $$\mathrm{Shv}^\ast(S,\Lambda)=\mathrm{Ind}D_ {\textrm{cft}}(S_ \textrm{'et}, \Lambda),$$ $\mathrm{Shv}^!(S,\Lambda)=\mathrm{Ind}D_ {\textrm{cft}}(S_ \textrm{'et}, \Lambda)^{\textrm{op}}$, and then $(f_ *)^\circ$ is determined by $(f_ *)^\circ|_ {\mathrm{Shv}^!(S,\Lambda)^\omega}=(f_ *)^{\textrm{op}}$

Then using the right Kan extension, we define $!$-sheaf theory for prestaks

and we further extend to $$\mathrm{Corr}(\mathrm{PreStk}_ k^{\textrm{qcqs}})_ {\textrm{IndEpro\'et,all}}\rightarrow \mathrm{LinCat}_ \Lambda.$$

Let me explain the notations: For algebraic spaces,

  1. $\textrm{pro\’et}$: $\textrm{pro-\’etale}$ morphism (require eventually affine transition).
  2. $\textrm{Epro\’et}$: essentially $\textrm{pro-\’etale}$, i.e.
  3. IndEpro'et:$X=\varinjlim_ {i}X_ i\rightarrow Y$, where $X_ i\rightarrow Y$ is Epro'et, and $X=\varinjlim_ {i}X_ i$ has transition maps being closed immersion, ind-algspc.

For stacks, the definition is given using base change to algebraic spaces.

Some Facts:

  1. If $X$ is a scheme of finite presentation over $k$, then $$\mathrm{Shv}^!(X)=(\mathrm{Ind}D_ {\textrm{cft}}(X))^\vee\cong \mathrm{Ind}D_ {\textrm{cft}}(X)$$ via Verdier duality. If $X$ is a qcqs scheme, and $X=\varprojlim_ {i} X_ i$ with $X_ i$ affine and transition maps all affine, then $$\mathrm{Shv}^\ast(X)=\varinjlim_ {i}\mathrm{Shv}^\ast(X_ i)$$ with transition maps given by $*$-pullbacks and $$\mathrm{Shv}^!(X)=\varinjlim_ {i}\mathrm{Shv}^\ast(X_ i)$$ with $!$-pullbacks and in genreal $\mathrm{Shv}^!(X)\neq \mathrm{Shv}^\ast(X)$.
  2. $\mathrm{Shv}(X)=\varprojlim_ {\substack{S\textrm{ qcqs algebraic space over k}\ S\rightarrow X}}$ with transition maps given by $!$-pullbacks.
  3. $\mathrm{Shv}^!$ satisfies $h$-descent. Let $X\rightarrow Y$ be a $h$-cover (generated by 'etale surjections and proper surjections) and $X_ \bullet$ be the Cech nerve in $\mathrm{AlgSp}_ k$. Then $$\mathrm{Shv}^!(Y)\cong \varprojlim{}\mathrm{Shv}^!(X_ \bullet).$$
  4. Now let $X=\varprojlim_ {i}X_ i\rightarrow Y$ be pro-'et, $X_ i\rightarrow Y$ be 'etale, and $\mathcal{F}$ constructible sheaf, a compact object in $\mathrm{Shv}^!(X)$, then $\mathcal{F}$ comes from $\mathcal{F}_ i$ on $X_ i$.
    Then $f_ *\mathcal{F}=\varinjlim_ {i}(g_ i)_ *\mathcal{F}_ i$ and $f_ *=(f^!)^R$, i.e. $(f^!,f_ *)$ is an adjoint pair of functors.
  5. Now $f:X\xrightarrow[\textrm{pro-'et}]{f_ 1}X’\xrightarrow[\textrm{fp}]{f_ 2}Y$, then $f_ *=(f_ 2)_ *(f_ 1)_ *$.
  6. Assume that $X=\varinjlim_ {i}X_ i$ a colimit in $\mathrm{PreStk}_ k$ with proper f$.$p$.$ transition morphisms. Then $$\mathrm{Shv}^!(X)\cong\varprojlim_ {i}\mathrm{Shv}^!(X_ i)$$ with transition maps given by $!$-pullbacks. Note that for $f: X\rightarrow Y$ a proper morphism of finite presentation, we have an adjoint pair $(f_ \ast,f^!)$. Therefore, $$\mathrm{Shv}^!(X)\cong \varinjlim_ {i}\mathrm{Shv}^!(X_ i)$$ with transition maps being $*$-pushforwards. In particular, this is why we want to pass to the dual and use $!$-sheaf theory.
  7. For $f:X\rightarrow Y$ a ind-fp proper morphism, we have an adjoint pair $(f_ \ast,f^!)$. In addition, if $f:X\rightarrow Y$ is surjective, then we have $$\mathrm{Shv}^!(Y)\cong \varprojlim{}\mathrm{Shv}^!(X_ \bullet)\cong \varinjlim{}\mathrm{Shv}^!(X_ \bullet),$$ with $X_ \bullet$ being the Cech nerve. The transition maps in $\varprojlim{}$ are given by $!$-pullbacks and the transition maps in $\varinjlim{}$ are given by $*$-pushforwards.

Corollary 36. $\mathrm{Shv}^!(\mathrm{Isoc}^\textrm{'et})=\mathrm{Shv}^!(\mathrm{Isoc}^h)\cong \varinjlim{}\mathrm{Shv}^!(\mathrm{Sht}^\textrm{loc}_ \bullet)$.
