Purity of crystalline strata

Abstract: Let

p

be a prime. Let

n i n m a t h b b N - 0

. Let

m a t h c a l C

be an

F^{n}

-crystal over a locally noetherian

m a t h b b F_{p}

-scheme

S

. Let

(a, b) i n m a t h b b N^{2}

. We show that the reduced locally closed subscheme of

S

whose points are exactly those

x i n S

such that

(a, b)

is a break point of the Newton polygon of the fiber

m a t h c a l C_{x}

of

m a t h c a l C

at

x

is pure in

S

, i.e., it is an affine

S

-scheme. This result refines and reobtains previous results of de Jong--Oort, Vasiu, and Yang. As an application, we show that for all

m i n m a t h b b N

the reduced locally closed subscheme of

S

whose points are exactly those

x i n S

for which the

p

-rank of

m a t h c a l C_{x}

is

m

is pure in

S

; the case

n = 1

was previously obtained by Deligne (unpublished) and the general case

n g e 1

refines and reobtains a result of Zink.
