Galois modules of period p group schemes over the ring of Witt vectors. (English. Russian original) Zbl 0674.14035
Math. USSR, Izv. 31, No. 1, 1-46 (1988); translation from Izv. Akad. Nauk SSSR, Ser. Mat. 51, No. 4, 691-736 (1987).
Let k be a perfect field of characteristic p$$>0$$, $$A=W(k)$$ the ring of Witt vectors over k, K the quotient field of A and $$G=Gal(\bar K/K)$$ the Galois group of the algebraic closure $$\bar K$$ of K. Let C be the category of all finite commutative group schemes over A which are killed by the multiplication by p, and let MG(k) be the category of finite commutative G-modules which are killed by the multiplication by p. Then one has the functor $$F:\quad C\to MG(k)$$ associating to every $$E\in Ob(C)$$ the G-module $$E(\bar K)$$ of $$\bar K-$$points.
The aim of the paper under review is to give necessary and sufficient conditions for a G-module $$H\in Ob(MG(k))$$ in order to belong to the image of F. - As applications one proves the non-existence of abelian schemes over the rings of integers of the following number fields: $${\mathbb{Q}}$$, $${\mathbb{Q}}(\sqrt{-1})$$, $${\mathbb{Q}}(\sqrt{\pm 2})$$, $${\mathbb{Q}}(\sqrt{-3})$$, $${\mathbb{Q}}(\sqrt{-7})$$ and $${\mathbb{Q}}(^ 5\sqrt{1})$$.
