Prismatic $F$-crystals and Wach modules (2405.18245v1)

Abstract: We show a direct equivalence between the category of analytic/completed prismatic $F$-crystals on the absolute prismatic site of a small (unramified at $p$) base ring and the category of relative Wach modules from the theory of $(\varphi, \Gamma)$-modules. The result is obtained by showing that the data of the Galois action on a Wach module is equivalent to the data of a prismatic stratification on the underlying $\varphi$-module.
