Finite locally free group schemes in characteristic $$p$$ and Dieudonné modules. (English) Zbl 0812.14030
The general theme of this well written article is the analogue of classical Dieudonné theory for commutative finite locally free $$p$$- group schemes over a scheme $$S_ 0$$ of characteristic $$p$$, i.e. the description of such groups by objects generalizing Dieudonné modules.
The setting is the following: $$S$$ is a flat scheme over $$\mathbb{Z}/p^{n+1} \mathbb{Z}$$ $$(n \geq 1)$$, $$S_ 0 \subset S$$ the subscheme where $$p = 0$$, $$C(n)_{S_ 0}$$ the category of commutative finite locally free group schemes over $$S_ 0$$ on which $$p^ n$$ is zero. The paper studies properties of the functor $$M_ S$$ which to an object $$G$$ of $$C(n)_{S_ 0}$$ associates a sheaf of $${\mathcal O}_ S/p^ n {\mathcal O}_ S$$-modules, namely the sheaf of (crystalline) extensions of $$G$$ by the augmentation ideal of $$S_ 0$$ (over $$\mathbb{Z}_ p)$$. A main result is that this functor $$M_ S$$ is exact. For all $$G$$, $$M_ S(G)$$ is canonically isomorphic to the dual of $$M_ S(G^ D)$$ (where $$G^ D$$ denotes the dual group scheme).
The other results of the paper concern the case $$n=1$$: then there is a canonical injection of (resp. surjection onto) the sheaf $$\alpha_ G = \operatorname{Hom} (G, \mathbb{G}_ a)$$ (resp. the sheaf $$\omega_ G$$ of invariant 1-forms of $$G)$$ which is an isomorphism if the Verschiebung (resp. the Frobenius) on $$G$$ is zero. Unfortunately $$M_ S(G)$$ is not locally free in general, but if the Frobenius map can be lifted to $$S$$, the author proves that $$M_ S (G)$$ is locally free. Much stronger results are obtained if moreover $$S$$ is the spectrum of a noetherian complete local ring $$R$$ with perfect residue field: Here under an additional technical assumption on $$S$$, or if $$M_ S$$ is restricted to groups without multiplicative part, $$M_ S$$ is an equivalence of categories onto (the appropriate subcategory of) the category of finite locally free $${\mathcal O}_ S/p {\mathcal O}_ S$$-modules endowed with $${\mathcal O}_ S$$-linear maps $$F$$ and $$V$$ such that $$F \circ V = p = V \circ F$$. A corollary to this result is the classification of $$p$$-divisible groups over such rings $$R$$.
