Slope filtrations
Confluentes Mathematici, Volume 1 (2009) no. 1, pp. 1-85.

Many slope filtrations occur in algebraic geometry, asymptotic analysis, ramification theory, p-adic theories, geometry of numbers …. These functorial filtrations, which are indexed by rational (or sometimes real) numbers, have a lot of common properties.

We propose a unified abstract treatment of slope filtrations, and survey how new ties between different domains have been woven by dint of deep correspondences between different concrete slope filtrations.
