The $p$-adic Corlette-Simpson correspondence for abeloids

For an abeloid variety $A$ over a complete algebraically closed field extension $K$ of $\mathbb Q_p$, we construct a $p$-adic Corlette-Simpson correspondence, namely an equivalence between finite-dimensional continuous $K$-linear representations of the Tate module and a certain subcategory of the Higgs bundles on $A$. To do so, our central object of study is the category of vector bundles for the $v$-topology on the diamond associated to $A$. We prove that any pro-finite-étale $v$-vector bundle can be built from pro-finite-étale $v$-line bundles and unipotent $v$-bundles. To describe the latter, we extend the theory of universal vector extensions to the $v$-topology and use this to generalise a result of Brion by relating unipotent $v$-bundles on abeloids to representations of vector groups.
