Purity of crystalline strata

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: Let p be a prime. Let ninmathbbN0. Let mathcalC be an Fn-crystal over a locally noetherian mathbbFp-scheme S. Let (a,b)inmathbbN2. We show that the reduced locally closed subscheme of S whose points are exactly those xinS such that (a,b) is a break point of the Newton polygon of the fiber mathcalCx of mathcalC at x is pure in S, i.e., it is an affine S-scheme. This result refines and reobtains previous results of de Jong--Oort, Vasiu, and Yang. As an application, we show that for all minmathbbN the reduced locally closed subscheme of S whose points are exactly those xinS for which the p-rank of mathcalCx is m is pure in S; the case n=1 was previously obtained by Deligne (unpublished) and the general case nge1 refines and reobtains a result of Zink.
