The compatibility with the duality for partial Hasse invariants

Abstract

We give a simple and natural proof for the compatibility of the Hasse invariant with duality. We then study a $p$-divisible group with an action of the ring of integers of a finite ramified extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. We suppose that it satisfies the Pappas-Rapoport condition ; in that case the Hasse invariant is a product of partial Hasse invariants, each of which can be expressed in terms of primitive Hasse invariants. We then show that the dual of the $p$-divisible group naturally satisfies a Pappas-Rapoport condition, and prove the compatibility with the duality for the partial and primitive Hasse invariants.
