SLIDE 6 ⇒ ∃ a canonical isomorphism of OX′-algebras FX/S∗(D(0)
X/S) ∼
→ E ndOX′(FX/S∗OX). General result of linear algebra (example of Morita equiv- alence)
A a ring, M a non-trivial locally free A -module of finite
type, B = E ndA (M ) The functors: ψ ∶ Mod(B) → Mod(A ),
E
↦ H omB(M ,E ), φ ∶ Mod(A ) → Mod(B),
F
↦ M ⊗A F, are equivalences of categories quasi-inverse to each other (φ ○ ψ

SLIDE 7 By Morita equivalence, the functors:
Mod(D(0)

Mod(OX′)

X/S),
F
↦ F∗
X/S(F) = F ⊗OX′ OX,
are equivalences of categories quasi-inverse to each other (Cartier’s Frobenius descent). ∃ an OX-linear morphism c∶F∗
X(TX/S) → ZD(0) X/S,
D ↦ Dp − D(p). inducing an isomorphism of OX′-algebras S(TX′/S) ∼
c FX/S∗(ZD(0) X/S).
SLIDE 8 A left D(0)
X/S-module ⇔ an OX-module E with an inte-
grable connection ∇∶E → E ⊗OX Ω1
X/S.
Then, c induces an OX-linear morphism ψ∶E → E ⊗OX F∗
X/S(Ω1 X′/S),
satisfying ψ ∧ ψ = 0, called the p-curvature.
- ψ vanishes ⇔ the action of D(0)
X/S factors through
D(0)
X/S.
- ψ is nilpotent ⇔ the action of D(0)
X/S factors through
D(0)
X/S/K N for N ≫ 0.
- ψ is quasi-nilpotent ⇔ ∀x ∈ E , ∃N ≥ 0 such that
K N ⋅ x = 0 (⇒ the action of D(0)
X/S on E extends to an
action of ̂
D(0)
X/S).

Want to extend Cartier’s Frobenius descent to quasi- nilpotent objects. Theorem 3 (Berthelot, Ogus-Vologodsky) Given smooth ̃ S-schemes ̃ X and ̃ X′ and an ̃ S-morphism ̃ F∶ ̃ X → ̃ X′ lifting FX/S, there exists a canonical isomorphism of ̂ S(TX′/S)-algebras λ̃

X/S is isomorphic to the ring (of

SLIDE 14 Lemma 6 The map 1
p!(F∗ ×F∗) ∶ I → PX/S,(0) ; f → f[p]
composed with the projection PX/S,(0) → PX/S,(0)/I .PX/S,(0) is an F∗
X-linear map that is zero on I 2.
Linearization gives an OX-linear map : F∗
X/SΩ1 X′/S → PX/S,(0)/I .PX/S,(0)
called divided Frobenius. Let Γ(Ω1
X′/S) the PD-algebra of the OX′-module Ω1 X′/S.

SLIDE 16 Next step : show that the data of thm. 3 (we fix such smooth ̃ S-schemes ̃ X and ̃ X′ and an ̃ S-morphism ̃ F∶ ̃ X → ̃ X′ lifting FX/S in the sequel) allows to canonically lift the latter isomorphism F∗
X/SΓ(Ω1 X′/S) ∼
to a morphism F∗
X/SΓ(Ω1 X′/S) → PX/S,(0).

Sketch of proof : want to understand (̃ F× ̃ F)∗ ∶ ˜

Take x ∈ OX, x′ ∶= 1 ⊗ x ∈ OX′ with lifts ˜ x ∈ O ˜

x′ ∈ O ˜
X′,
̃ F∗(˜ x′) = ˜ xp + py. ˜ ξ ∶= 1 ⊗ ˜ x − ˜ x ⊗ 1, ˜ ξ′ ∶= 1 ⊗ ˜ x′ − ˜ x′ ⊗ 1 (̃ F × ̃ F)∗(˜ ξ′) = 1 ⊗ ˜ xp − ˜ xp ⊗ 1 + p.(1 ⊗ y − y ⊗ 1) = ˜ ξp +
p−1
∑
i=1
( p i )(˜ xp−i ⊗ 1)˜ ξi + p(1 ⊗ y − y ⊗ 1) ≡ ˜ ξp mod p ˜
I
Hence (̃ F × ̃ F)∗(˜ ξ′) = p!.˜ ξ[p] + pζ ∈ P ̃
X/̃ S,(0)
with ζ ∈ ˜
I .
Then divides by p!.

Proposition 9 . The divided Frobenius extends canon- ically to a morphism F∗
X/SΓ(Ω1 X′/S) → PX/S,(0)
that, by duality, induces a morphism of OX-modules : Φ ̃

Warning : Φ ̃
F is not a morphism of rings but its re-
striction to the center is one.
