Solid locally analytic representations

The pith
The category of solid locally analytic representations of a compact p-adic Lie group is equivalent to that of quasi-coherent modules over its algebra of locally analytic distributions.
A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.
Core claim
The category of solid locally analytic representations of a compact p-adic Lie group is equivalent to that of quasi-coherent modules over its algebra of locally analytic distributions, generalizing a classical result of Schneider and Teitelbaum. For arbitrary G, an equivalence between solid locally analytic representations and quasi-coherent sheaves over certain locally analytic classifying stack over G is proved. The paper also extends cohomological comparison results to arbitrary groups, generalizing Lazard and Casselman-Wigner.
What carries the argument
The algebra of locally analytic distributions of the group, which realizes the equivalence by serving as the base ring whose quasi-coherent modules correspond to the solid locally analytic representations.
If this is right
- The result generalizes the classical Schneider-Teitelbaum theorem to the solid setting.
- For arbitrary groups, solid locally analytic representations correspond to quasi-coherent sheaves on a locally analytic classifying stack.
- Cohomological comparison results extend from compact groups over Q_p to arbitrary groups, generalizing Lazard and Casselman-Wigner.
- The framework yields an application to the locally analytic p-adic Langlands correspondence for GL_1.
Where Pith is reading between the lines
- The solid setting may allow handling of analytic representations without separate smoothness conditions.
- The classifying stack equivalence could be applied to study representations of non-compact groups in related contexts.
- The approach might support extensions of the p-adic Langlands correspondence to additional groups.
Load-bearing premise
The definitions of solid vector spaces over a complete non-archimedean extension of Q_p and the construction of the algebra of locally analytic distributions permit the stated category equivalences to hold for the groups considered.
What would settle it
A compact p-adic Lie group together with an explicit solid locally analytic representation that cannot be identified with any quasi-coherent module over the algebra of locally analytic distributions would disprove the equivalence.

We develop the $p$-adic representation theory of $p$-adic Lie groups on solid vector spaces over a complete non-archimedean extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. More precisely, we define and study categories of solid, solid locally analytic and solid smooth representations. We show that the category of solid locally analytic representations of a compact $p$-adic Lie group is equivalent to that of quasi-coherent modules over its algebra of locally analytic distributions, generalizing a classical result of Schneider and Teitelbaum. For arbitrary $G$, we prove an equivalence between solid locally analytic representations and quasi-coherent sheaves over certain locally analytic classifying stack over $G$. We also extend our previous cohomological comparison results from the case of a compact group defined over $\mathbb{Q}_p$ to the case of an arbitrary group, generalizing results of Lazard and Casselman-Wigner. Finally, we study an application to the locally analytic $p$-adic Langlands correspondence for $\mathrm{GL}_1$.

Referee Report
Summary. The manuscript develops the p-adic representation theory of p-adic Lie groups on solid vector spaces over a complete non-archimedean extension of Q_p. It defines categories of solid, solid locally analytic, and solid smooth representations. For a compact p-adic Lie group G, it claims an equivalence between the category of solid locally analytic representations and the category of quasi-coherent modules over the algebra of locally analytic distributions, generalizing Schneider-Teitelbaum. For arbitrary G it claims an equivalence to quasi-coherent sheaves on a locally analytic classifying stack. It extends prior cohomological comparison results to arbitrary groups (generalizing Lazard and Casselman-Wigner) and studies an application to the locally analytic p-adic Langlands correspondence for GL_1.
Significance. If the stated equivalences and extensions hold with the given definitions of solid vector spaces and distribution algebras, the work would supply a direct generalization of classical results to the solid setting and could supply new tools for the p-adic Langlands program. No machine-checked proofs or parameter-free derivations are indicated.

Referee: [Abstract] Abstract: the central claims consist of asserted equivalences and extensions whose derivations, error controls, and verification steps are not supplied in the available text; the soundness of the category equivalences therefore cannot be checked from the given material.
Authors: The abstract is a concise summary of the main theorems. The full manuscript contains complete proofs of all claimed equivalences: the equivalence of solid locally analytic representations of compact G with quasi-coherent modules over the locally analytic distribution algebra (generalizing Schneider-Teitelbaum) is proved in Section 3 with explicit functor constructions and inverse equivalences; the equivalence to quasi-coherent sheaves on the locally analytic classifying stack for general G is established in Section 4 via descent and stack-theoretic arguments; and the extensions of the cohomological comparisons (Lazard, Casselman-Wigner) appear in Section 5 with explicit chain maps and spectral sequence comparisons. All steps include the necessary verifications for the solid topology and non-archimedean coefficients. revision: no
Circularity Check
No significant circularity; main result is independent generalization of external theorem
full rationale
The paper defines solid locally analytic representations and proves an equivalence to quasi-coherent modules over the distribution algebra, explicitly generalizing the Schneider-Teitelbaum result for compact p-adic Lie groups. The abstract and structure present this as a direct categorical equivalence enabled by the new solid vector space definitions, with no equations or constructions that reduce the claimed equivalence to a fit, renaming, or self-referential definition. The single mention of extending the authors' own prior cohomological results is peripheral to the central equivalence and does not bear the load of the main claims; those prior results are treated as established background rather than an unverified self-citation chain. The derivation remains self-contained against the cited external classical results and does not exhibit any of the enumerated circularity patterns.

What do these tags mean?
- matches
- The paper's claim is directly supported by a theorem in the formal canon.
- supports
- The theorem supports part of the paper's argument, but the paper may add assumptions or extra steps.
- extends
- The paper goes beyond the formal theorem; the theorem is a base layer rather than the whole result.
- uses
- The paper appears to rely on the theorem as machinery.
- contradicts
- The paper's claim conflicts with a theorem or certificate in the canon.
- unclear
- Pith found a possible connection, but the passage is too broad, indirect, or ambiguous to say the theorem truly supports the claim.
