TL;DR
The paper develops a comprehensive $l$-adic bifiltered framework for SNCL schemes with relative SNCDs, introducing the $l$-adic El Zein–Steenbrink–Zucker complex $(A_{l^{ exists}}((X,D)/S),P^D,P)$ and proving its cohomological realization as $R^qf_{(X_{l^{ exists}},D)/S*}({f Z}_l)$. It establishes two $l$-adic weight spectral sequences degenerating modulo torsion in key cases and formulates the log $l$-adic relative monodromy-weight conjecture, linking the relative monodromy filtration to the weight filtration. The core methodological advance is a robust derived-category theory of bifiltered complexes, including strictly injective/flat resolutions, ${ m RHom}$ and $igotimes^L$ functors, enabling precise manipulation of filtrations $P$ and $P^D$, edge morphisms, and functoriality. The results recover known equal-characteristic and low-dimensional cases, extend Nakayama–Rapoport–Zink–Steenbrink–Zucker-type weight spectral sequences to the log $l$-adic context, and provide a pathway to $p$-adic and $ty$-adic analogues via compatible bifiltered constructions and semistable reduction arguments.
Abstract
For a family of log points with constant log structure and for a proper SNCL scheme with an SNCD over the family, we construct a fundamental l-adic bifiltered complex as a geometric application of the theory of the derived category of (bi)filtered complexes in our papers. By using this bifiltered complex, we give the formulation of the log l-adic relative monodromy-weight conjecture with respect to the filtration arising from the SNCD. That is, we state that the relative l-adic monodromy filtration should exist for the Kummer log etale cohomological sheaf of the proper SNCL scheme with an SNCD and it should be equal to the l-adic weight filtration.
