Abstract:
Let K be a field of characteristic zero that is complete with respect to a discrete valuation, with perfect residue field of characteristic p>0. We formulate the notion of {\it totally degenerate reduction} for a smooth projective variety X over K. We show that for all prime numbers ℓ, the \bQl-\'etale cohomology of such a variety is (after passing to a suitable finite unramified extension of K) a successive extension of direct sums of Galois modules of the form \bQl(r). More precisely, this cohomology has an increasing filtration whose r-th graded quotient is of the form V⊗\bQ\bQl(r), where V is a finite dimensional \bQ-vector space that is independent of ℓ, with an unramified action of the absolute Galois group of K.
