Feb 12, 2017 at 7:25 comment added R. van Dobben de Bruyn Note however that even for complex varieties, $p$-torsion and $\ell$-torsion have nothing to do with each other if $p \neq \ell$. Much more subtle are questions in integral $p$-adic Hodge theory where one has different $p$-adic theories, some of which may have torsions while others do not. This is what @pbelmans was referring to.
Feb 12, 2017 at 7:24 comment added R. van Dobben de Bruyn Ah, in Cossec–Dolgachev Prop 1.4.4, they also prove that $H^2_{\operatorname{crys}}$ is torsion free for $p \neq 2$, so @Jason's answer fully settles the question.
Feb 11, 2017 at 20:49 comment added R. van Dobben de Bruyn @pbelmans: I think the OPs question is very different, because $p \neq \ell$ (in $p$-adic Hodge theory, one studies the $p$-adic étale cohomology!). Jason's examples would give a negative answer to the question if one can relate the $p$-torsion in $NS$ to the $p$-torsion in $H^2_{\operatorname{crys}}$.
Feb 11, 2017 at 14:37 comment added pbelmans Your question is closely related to the first project outline in Bhatt's lecture series for this year's Arizona Winter School, see swc.math.arizona.edu/aws/2017/2017BhattOutline.pdf.

Jan 29, 2017 at 14:46 comment added Jim Humphreys @Monsie: Are there specific examples of varieties $X$ you have in mind? Of course, the question may be reasonable to ask in general, but it's natural to wonder what motivates it.
Jan 29, 2017 at 10:08 comment added Jason Starr It is certainly not true that $NS(X)$ is torsionfree if it has no nontrivial $p$-torsion. For instance, Enriques surfaces in characteristic $p\neq 2$ have $2$-torsion in $NS(X)$, yet they have no $p$-torsion, cf. Cossec-Dolgachev.
