On the deformation of a Barsotti-Tate group over a curve

Abstract

In this paper, we study deformations of pairs (C,G) where G is a height 2 BT(or BTn) group over a complete curve on algebraically closed field k of characteristic p. We prove that, if the curve C is a versal deformation of G, then there exists a unique lifting of the pair to the Witt ring W. We apply this result in the case of Shimura curves to obtain a lifting criterion.
