Theory of weights in p-adic cohomology

Let k be a finite field of characteristic p>0. We construct a theory of weights for overholonomic complexes of arithmetic D-modules with Frobenius structure on varieties over k. The notion of weight behave like Deligne's one in the l-adic framework: first, the six operations preserve weights, and secondly, the intermediate extension of an immersion preserves pure complexes and weights.
