The aim of this thesis is to study finite height crystalline representations in relative p-adic Hodge theory, and apply the results thus obtained towards the computation of continuous Galois cohomology of these representations via syntomic methods. In 1980’s, Fontaine initiated a program for classifying p-adic representations of the absolute Galois group of a p-adic local field by means of certain linear-algebraic objects functorially attached to the representations. One of the aspects of his program was to classify all p-adic representations of the Galois group in terms of étale (phi, Gamma)-modules. On the other hand, Fontaine showed that crystalline representations can be classified in terms of filtered phi-modules. Therefore, it is a na...
