Logarithmic prismatic cohomology, motivic sheaves, and comparison theorems

Abstract We prove that (logarithmic) prismatic and (logarithmic) syntomic cohomology are representable in the category of logarithmic motives. As an application, we obtain Gysin maps for prismatic and syntomic cohomology, and we explicitly identify their cofibers. We also prove a smooth blow-up formula and we compute prismatic and syntomic cohomology of Grassmannians. In the second part of the paper, we develop a descent technique inspired by the work of Niziołon log 𝐾-theory. Using the resulting saturated descent , we prove de Rham and crystalline comparison theorems for log prismatic cohomology, and the existence of Gysin maps for A inf A_{\inf} -cohomology.
