TL;DR
The paper introduces parabolic bases to localize the study of parabolic bundles and parabolic $\lambda$-connections, enabling a parabolic non-abelian Hodge correspondence in positive characteristic and a rank-2 Higgs–de Rham flow. It constructs parabolic Cartier and inverse Cartier transforms via an exponential twist, establishing tensor equivalences between parabolic $\lambda$-connections and parabolic bundles, and proving functorial properties such as compatibility with pullback and pushforward, including BIS-type correspondences. A centerpiece is the rank-2 parabolic Higgs–de Rham flow, for which an algorithm determines the maximal destabilizing subbundle; the extension class is described by $\xi = F^{*}(\theta) \cup \kappa$, where $\kappa$ is the Deligne–Illusie class, connecting to Li–Sheng-type periodicity questions. The framework extends the BIS correspondence to parabolic and higher-dimensional contexts, clarifies the role of exponential twists, and points toward broader implications for $p$-adic Hodge theory and root-stack geometry.
Abstract
We introduce the concept of parabolic bases to establish a localized framework for parabolic bundles and parabolic $λ$-connections. Building on this foundation, we propose a novel method for constructing the parabolic non-abelian Hodge correspondence in positive characteristic, extending the work originally developed by Krishnamoorthy and Sheng for algebraic curves. Additionally, we investigate the rank $2$ parabolic Higgs-de Rham flow operator and present a modified version of the Sun-Yang-Zuo algorithm, specifically adapted to the parabolic setting.
