We give a new construction of (φ,Ĝ )-modules using the theory of prisms developed by Bhatt and Scholze. As an application, we give a new proof about the equivalence between the category of prismatic F-crystals in finite locally free Δ-modules over (K)Δ and the category of lattices in crystalline representations of GK, where K is a complete discretely valued field of mixed characteristic with perfect residue field. We also generalize this result to semi-stable representations using the absolute logarithmic prismatic site defined by Koshikawa.

Let R be a non-discrete rank one valuation ring of characteristic p and let E be any discrete valuation ring, we prove the ring of E-Witt vectors over R has uncountable Krull dimension without assuming the axiom of existence of prime ideals for general commutative unitary rings.

Let K=Q(√(-q)), where q is any prime number congruent to 7 modulo 8, and let O be the ring of integers of K. The prime 2 splits in K, say 2O=pp∗, and there is a unique Z_2-extension K_∞ of K which is unramified outside p. Let H be the Hilbert class field of K, and write H_∞=HK_∞. Let M(H_∞) be the maximal abelian 2-extension of H_∞ which is unramified outside the primes above p, and put X(H_∞)=Gal(M(H_∞)/H_∞). We prove that X(H_∞) is always a finitely generated Z_2-module, by an elliptic analogue of Sinnott’s cyclotomic argument. We then use this result to prove for the first time the weak p-adic Leopoldt conjecture for the compositum J_∞ of K_∞ with arbitrary quadratic extensions J of H. We also prove some new cases of the finite generation of the Mordell–Weil group E(J_∞) modulo torsion of certain elliptic curves E with complex multiplication by O.
