Plectic structures in p-adic de Rham cohomology

Abstract

Given a Hilbert modular form for a totally real field $F$, and a prime $p$ split completely in $F$, the $f$-eigenspace in $p$-adic de Rham cohomology of the Hilbert modular variety has a family of partial filtrations and partial Frobenius maps, indexed by the primes of $F$ above $p$. The general plectic conjectures of Nekovar and Scholl suggest a "plectic comparison isomorphism" comparing these structures to etale cohomology. We prove this conjecture in the case $[F : \mathbf{Q}] = 2$ under some mild assumptions; and for general $F$ we prove a weaker statement which is strong evidence for the conjecture, showing that plectic Hodge filtration has a canonical splitting given by intersecting with simultaneous eigenspaces for the partial Frobenii.
