Abstract: Let $X$ be a smooth projective algebraic variety over $Z/p$, which has a flat lift to a scheme $X^{\prime }$ over $Z/p^2$. If the absolute Frobenius morphism $F$ on $X$ lifts to a morphism on $X^{\prime }$, then an old trick by Mazur shows that push-down of the de Rham complex under $F$ decomposes. We show that the quasi-isomorphism in question is split. This is then applied to toric varieties (where a glueing argument gives lifting of Frobenius to $Z/p^2$) and we derive natural characteristic $p$ proofs of Bott vanishing and degeneration of the Danilov spectral sequence. For flag varieties we obtain generalizations of a result of Paranjape and Srinivas about non-lifting of Frobenius to the Witt vectors.
