Formal deformation of curves with group scheme action

Stefan Wewers (2005)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We study equivariant deformations of singular curves with an action of a finite flat group scheme, using a simplified version of Illusie's equivariant cotangent complex. We apply these methods in a special case which is relevant for the study of the stable reduction of three point covers.

Lifting D -modules from positive to zero characteristic

João Pedro P. dos Santos (2011)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

We study liftings or deformations of D -modules ( D is the ring of differential operators from EGA IV) from positive characteristic to characteristic zero using ideas of Matzat and Berthelot’s theory of arithmetic D -modules. We pay special attention to the growth of the differential Galois group of the liftings. We also apply formal deformation theory (following Schlessinger and Mazur) to analyze the space of all liftings of a given D -module in positive characteristic. At the end we compare the problems...

On Zariski's theorem in positive characteristic

Ilya Tyomkin (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

In the current paper we show that the dimension of a family V of irreducible reduced curves in a given ample linear system on a toric surface S over an algebraically closed field is bounded from above by - K S . C + p g ( C ) - 1 , where C denotes a general curve in the family. This result generalizes a famous theorem of Zariski to the case of positive characteristic. We also explore new phenomena that occur in positive characteristic: We show that the equality 𝚍𝚒𝚖 ( V ) = - K S . C + p g ( C ) - 1 does not imply the nodality of C even if C belongs to the...
