Canonical Witt formal scheme extensions and p-torsion groups

Abstract: We study the n-th arithmetic jet space of the p-torsion subgroup attached to a smooth commutative formal group scheme. We show that the n-th jet space above fits in the middle of a canonical short exact sequence between a power of the formal scheme of Witt vectors of length n and the p-torsion subgroup we started with. This result generalizes a result of Buium on roots of unity.
