The Kriz theorem provides an algebraic model for $p$-adic homotopy 
theory in terms of cosimplicial $p$-Boolean algebras, i.e. 
$\mathbb{F}_p$-algebras such that $x^p=x$ for any element $x$. 
Unfortunately, the Koszul duality for $p$-Boolean algebras is unknown, 
so a Lie model for $p$-homotopy theory remains unknown as well. However, 
Itamar Mor recently constructed the category $Syn$, which degenerates 
unstable homotopy theory to simplicial restricted Lie algebras. The 
category $Syn$ categorifies the lower central series spectral sequence.

In my talk, I will present an algebraic model for the category $Syn$ 
which degenerates the Kriz theorem into the Koszul duality between 
restricted Lie algebras and $\mathbb{F}_p$-algebras with trivial 
Frobenius. If time permits, I will also explain how the synthetic Kriz 
theorem reveals some interactions between different versions of the 
unstable Adams spectral sequence.
