Abstract: Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic

p > 0

, and

G_{0}

be a Barsotti-Tate group (or

p

-divisible group) over k. We denote by

S

the "algebraic" local moduli in characteristic p of

G_{0}

, by

G

the universal deformation of

G_{0}

over

S

, and by

U s u b s e t S

the ordinary locus of

G

. The etale part of

G

over

U

gives rise to a monodromy representation

h o

of the fundamental group of

U

on the Tate module of

G

. Motivated by a famous theorem of Igusa, we prove in this article that

h o

is surjective if

G_{0}

is connected and HW-cyclic. This latter condition is equivalent to that Oort's

a

-number of

G_{0}

equals 1, and it is satisfied by all connected one-dimensional Barsotti-Tate groups over

k

.
