   • 2015, Frédéric Déglise, Wiesława Nizioł, “On $p$-adic absolute Hodge cohomology and syntomic coefficients, I”, in arXiv‎^[1]:

     We introduce syntomic coefficients and show that in dimension zero they form a full triangulated subcategory of the derived category of potentially semistable Galois representations. Along the way, we obtain $p$-adic realizations of mixed motives including $p$-adic comparison isomorphisms.
