    • We introduce syntomic coefficients and show that in dimension zero they form a full triangulated subcategory of the derived category of potentially semistable Galois representations. Along the way, we obtain p-adic realizations of mixed motives including p-adic comparison isomorphisms.2015, Frédéric Déglise, Wiesława Nizioł, “On p-adic absolute Hodge cohomology and syntomic coefficients, I”, in arXiv

Origin of syntomic
