We will present recent developments in the theory of overconvergent F-isocrystals, the p-adic analogue of ell-adic lisse sheaves. For the most part of the talk, we will explain a new result on the algebraic monodromy groups of these objects. At the end, we will mention an application of the theorem to the finiteness of separable p-torsion points of an abelian variety.
