NOTES ON TATE’S p-DIVISIBLE GROUPS
نویسنده
چکیده
The aim here is simply to provide some details to some of the proofs in Tate's paper [T]. 2. Tate's Section 2.2 2.1. Lemmas about divisibility. We say Γ → Γ is an isogeny of the formal group Γ = Spf(A) if the corresponding map A → A is injective and makes A free over itself of finite rank. Tate calls Γ divisible, if p : Γ → Γ is an isogeny. This is equivalent to ψ : A → A is injective and makes A ψ free of finite rank over A.

Shimura–taniyama Formula
As we have seen earlier in the seminar in the talk of Tong Liu, if K is a CM field and (A, i) is a complex torus with CM by K, then A is necessarily an abelian variety and moreover the pair (A, i) descends to a number field F ⊆ C over which it has good reduction at all places. An important formula of Shimura and Taniyama describes Frobenius actions on reductions of this abelian variety at prime...
متن کاملOn Genus-change in Algebraic Curves over Nonperfect Fields
I give a new proof, in scheme-theoretic language, of Tate’s old result on genus-change over nonperfect fields in characteristic p > 0. Namely, for normal geometrically integral curves, the difference between arithmetic and geometric genus over the algebraic closure is divisible by (p − 1)/2.
متن کاملp-DIVISIBLE GROUPS: PART II
This talk discusses the main results of Tate’s paper "p-Divisible Groups" [6]. From the point of view of p-adic Hodge theory, this is a foundational paper and within this setting, much of the technical work being done becomes extremely important. From our perspective, having just learned what p-divisible groups are three weeks ago, however, the significance of the results could easily be drowne...

Our tale begins in 1961, when Professor John Tate was invited by John Solomon to deliver a series of lectures at Haverford College on the subject of “Rational Points on Cubic Curves” [8]. Quoting from the preface to [6], “these lectures, intended for junior and senior mathematics majors, were recorded, transcribed, and printed in mimeograph form. Since that time they have been widely distribute...
متن کاملnon-divisibility for abelian groups
Throughout all groups are abelian. We say a group G is n-divisible if nG = G. If G has no non-zero n-divisible subgroups for all n>1 then we say that G is absolutely non-divisible. In the study of class C consisting all absolutely non-divisible groups such as G, we come across the sub groups T_p(G) = the sum of all p-divisible subgroups and rad_p(G) = the intersection of all p^nG. The proper...
