Abstract: In differential algebra, a proper scheme $X$ defined over an algebraically closed field $K$ with a derivation $partial$ on it descends to the field of constants $K^{p}artial$ if $X$ itself lifts the derivation $partial$. This is a result by A. Buium. Now in the arithmetic case, the notion of a derivation is replaced by the notion of a $pi$-derivation $delta$ or equivalently in the flat case, a lift of Frobenius $phi$. We will show an analogous result in the arithmetic case of equal characteristic. We show our results using the arithmetic analogue of Taylor expansion using Witt vectors.
