Decomposition of De Rham Complexes with Smooth Horizontal Coefficients for Semistable Reductions (1110.2567v1)

Abstract: We generalize Illusie's result to prove the decomposition of the de Rham complex with smooth horizontal coefficients for a semistable $S$-morphism $f:X\ra Y$ which is liftable over $\Z/p^2\Z$. As an application, we prove the Koll\'ar vanishing theorem in positive characteristic for a semistable $S$-morphism $f:X\ra Y$ which is liftable over $\Z/p^2\Z$, where all concerned horizontal divisors are smooth over $Y$.
