Canonical subgroups via Breuil-Kisin modules (Q358825)

The paper under review uses the classification theory of finite flat commutative groups schemes developed by Breuil and Kisin to show the existence of canonical subgroups of truncated Barsotti-Tate group of of level \(n\) when \(p>2\). More specifically, let \(p>2\) be a rational prime and \(K/\mathbb{Q}_p\) be an extension of complete discrete valuations fields. Let \(\mathcal{G}\) be a truncated Barsotti-Tate group of level \(n\), height \(h\) and dimension \(d\) over \(\mathcal{O}_K\) with \(0<d<h\) and Hodge height \(w = \text{Hdg}(\mathcal{G})\). If \(w < 1/(p^{n-2}(p+1))\), there exists a subgroup \(\mathcal{C}_n\) of \(\mathcal{G}\) that is a finite flat closed subgroup scheme of order \(p^{nd}\) satisfying the standard properties of canonical subgroups of Barsotti-Tate groups.
