Local monodromy of p-divisible groups

Abstract: A

p

-divisible group over a field

K

admits a slope decomposition; associated to each slope

l a m b d a

is an integer

m

and a representation

g a l (K) a g l_{m} (D_{l} a m b d a)

, where

D_{l} a m b d a

is the

a t_{p}

-division algebra with Brauer invariant

[l a m b d a]

. We call

m

the multiplicity of

l a m b d a

in the

p

-divisible group. Let

G_{0}

be a

p

-divisible group over a field

k

. Suppose that

l a m b d a

is not a slope of

G_{0}

, but that there exists a deformation of

G

in which

l a m b d a

appears with multiplicity one. Assume that

l a m b d a o t = (s - 1) / s

for any natural number

s > 1

. We show that there exists a deformation

G / R

of

G_{0} / k

such that the representation

g a l (F r a c R) a g l_{1} (D_{l} a m b d a)

has large image.
