Syntomification and crystalline local systems (to appear soon) I show that the category of crystalline Z_p-local systems is equivalent to a category of reflexive F-gauges, which resolves a conjecture of Bhatt. Prior to this, the question was partially answered by Guo-Li, who gave a way to lift analytic prismatic F-crystals to F-gauges. One can define a canonical t-structure on perfect complexes on the syntomification for smooth X, and characterize the output of Guo-Li's construction as the reflexive objects in the heart of this t-structure. Rationally this implies Coh(X^Syn)[1/p] is equivalent to crystalline Qp-local systems, and we use this integral result to produce a derived variant of this result. Namely, we show that Perf(X^{Syn})[1/p] is equivalent to a category of admissible filtered F-isocrystals -- morally one can think of this as a derived category of crystalline local systems, although this is generally not the case unless X=O_K. The integral underived result allows us to show essential surjectivity easily, while the harder component of full faithfulness comes from a variant of the Beilinson fiber square with coefficients for smooth proper formal schemes over O_K.

Coefficients of Gaussian Polynomials Modulo N [EJC] [arXiv] Resolves and extends a conjecture of Prof. Richard Stanley on periods of coefficients in q-binomial coefficients modulo N.

Problems I am thinking about

Torsion crystalline representations (In progress)
A smaller follow-up project to ``Syntomification and crystalline local systems": I aim to integrally characterize the essential image of T_et on Perf(X^{Syn}) as a category of crystalline objects in D^b_lisse(X_eta,Z_p) roughly built out of torsion crystalline local systems and crystalline Z_p-local systems. Optimistically, one can turn this into an equivalence with appropriate modifications.

A Riemann-Hilbert functor for Zariski-constructible crystalline sheaves (In progress)
I give a prismatic upgrade of the mod p Riemann-Hilbert equivalence of Emerton-Kisin; using an explicit description of these objects as a q-analogue of D_{F,X}-modules, I aim to construct a Riemann-Hilbert functor outputting Zariski-constructible crystalline sheaves compatible with the Emerton-Kisin correspondence as well as the equivalence of Guo-Reinecke describing crystalline Z_p-local systems.
