Log prismatic $F$-crystals and purity

Abstract: Our goal is to study $p$-adic local systems on a rigid-analytic variety with semistable formal model. We prove that such a local system is semistable if and only if so are its restrictions to the points corresponding to the irreducible components of the special fiber. For this, the main body of the paper concerns analytic prismatic $F$-crystals on the absolute logarithmic prismatic site of a semistable $p$-adic log formal scheme. Analyzing Breuil-Kisin log prisms, we obtain a prismatic purity theorem and deduce the above purity theorem for semistable local systems.
