Riemann–Hilbert correspondence for unit F-crystals on embeddable algebraic varieties

Abstract

For a separated scheme $X$ of finite type over a perfect field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$ which admits an immersion into a proper smooth scheme over the truncated Witt ring $W_{n}$, we define the bounded derived category of locally finitely generated unit $F$-crystals with finite Tor-dimension on $X$ over $W_{n}$, independently of the choice of the immersion. Then we prove the anti-equivalence of this category with the bounded derived category of constructible \'etale sheaves of ${\mathbb Z}/{p^{n}{\mathbb Z}}$-modules with finite Tor dimension. We also discuss the relationship of $t$-structures on these derived categories when $n=1$. Our result is a generalization of the Riemann-Hilbert correspondence for unit $F$-crystals due to Emerton-Kisin to the case of (possibly singular) embeddable algebraic varieties in characteristic $p>0$.
