A note on convergent isocrystals on simply connected varieties

It is conjectured by de Jong that, if $X$ is a connected projective smooth variety over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$ with trivial etale fundamental group, any convergent isocrystal $\mathcal{E}$ on $X$ is trivial. We discuss this conjecture when $X$ is liftable to characteristic zero, and prove the triviality of $\mathcal{E}$ in this case under certain conditions on (semi)stability.
