Solving p-adic differential equations on two-dimensional bases
by
Kiran Kedlaya
MIT

The existence of solutions of p-adic differential equations with Frobenius over one-dimensional spaces is nowadays well in hand thanks to the resolution of Crew's conjecture. But in some geometric applications (e.g., rigid cohomology), one is forced to consider higher-dimensional spaces. I'll describe a pivotal two-dimensional situation and explain how one analyzes it by ``successive approximations'' coming from the one-dimensional case.
