GLOIS DEFORMTION THEORY FOR NORM FIELDS ND FLT DEFORMTION RINGS WNSU KIM bstract. Let K be a finite extension of Q p, and choose a uniformizer π K, and put K := K( p π). We introduce a new technique using restriction to Gal(K/K ) to study flat deformation rings. We show the existence of deformation rings for Gal(K/K )-representations of height h for any positive integer h, and we use them to give a variant of Kisin s proof of connected component analysis of a certain flat deformation rings, which was used to prove Kisin s modularity lifting theorem for potentially Barsotti-Tate representations. Our proof does not use the classification of finite flat group schemes. This Gal(K/K )-deformation theory has a good positive characteristics analogue of crystalline representations in the sense of Genestier-Lafforgue. In particular, we obtain a positive characteristic analogue of crystalline deformation rings, and can analyze their local structure. Contents 1. Introduction 1 2. Deformation rings of height h 3 3.

Introduction Since the pioneering work of Wiles on the modularity of semi-stable elliptic curves over Q, there has been huge progress on modularity lifting. Notably, Kisin [Kis09b, Kis09a] (later improved by Gee [Gee06, Gee09]) proved a very general modularity lifting theorem for potentially Barsotti-Tate representations, which had enormous impacts on this subject. (For the precise statement of the theorem, see the aforementioned references.) One of the numerous noble innovations that appeared in Kisin s result is his improvement of Taylor-Wiles patching argument. The original patching argument required relevant local deformation rings to be formally smooth, which is a very strong requirement. Under Kisin s improved patching, we only need to show that the generic fiber of local deformation rings are formally smooth with correct dimension, and we need to have some control of their connected components. (See [Kis07, Corollary 1.4] for the list of sufficient conditions on local deformation rings to prove modularity lifting.) It turns out that the most difficult part among them (and the hurdle to proving modularity lifting for more general classes of p-adic Galois representations) is to control the connected components of certain p-adic 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. 11S20.

2 W. KIM deformation rings at places over p. (The relevant local deformation rings here are flat deformation rings.) The main purpose of this paper is to give another proof of the following theorem of Kisin. Let us fix some notations. Let K be a finite extension of Q p and set G K to be the absolute Galois group of K. Choose a complete discrete valuation ring O whose residue field F is a finite field of characteristic p. Let ρ : G K GL 2 (F) be a continuous representation, and let R be the framed deformation O-algebra of ρ be the unique torsion-free quotient of R whose -points classifies crystalline lifts of ρ with Hodge type (0, 1) for any finite Q p -algebra. (See 4.4 for the definition.) By [Kis06, Corollary 2.2.6] (whose existence was shown by Mazur[Maz89]). Let R,v cris and [Ray74, Proposition 2.3.1], R,v cris differs only by p -torsion from the flat framed deformation ring of ρ with the deformation condition that the inertia action on the determinant should be given by the p-adic cyclotomic character. Theorem 1.1 (Kisin; Gee, Imai). For finite local Q p -algebras and, consider maps ξ : R,v cris and ξ : R,v cris. Let ρ ξ and ρ ξ denote the lifts of ρ corresponding to ξ and ξ, respectively. Then ξ and ξ are supported on the same connected component of Spec R,v cris [ 1 p ] if and only if either both ρ ξ and ρ ξ do not admit a non-zero unramified quotient (i.e. non-ordinary) or both ρ ξ and ρ ξ admit a rank-1 unramified quotient which lift the same (mod p) character. Note that proving Theorem 1.1 when p = 2 is the main extra difficulty in proving the 2-adic potentially Barsotti-Tate modularity lifting theorem (as opposed to the p-adic modularity lifting theorem with p > 2). Kisin s original argument crucially uses a kind of resolution of flat deformation rings constructed via the classification of finite flat group schemes 1, which is proved by Kisin [Kis09b, Corollary 2.3.6] when p > 2, and Kisin [Kis09a, Theorem 1.3.9] for connected finite flat group schemes when p = 2. 2 (This step is where the main difficulty arises when p = 2, as opposed to when p > 2.) The remaining argument to prove Theorem 1.1 is rather linear-algebraic, and is carried out in [Kis09b, 2] with improvements by Gee [Gee06] and Imai [Ima08]. 3 The purpose of this paper is to give another proof of Theorem 1.1 that does not use finite flat group schemes, and instead relies more on linear-algebraic tools from p-adic Hodge Theory developed in [Kis06]. The key idea is to introduce deformation rings of height 1 (Theorem 2.3) and compare it with flat deformation rings (Corollary 4.2.1). nother motivation for removing finite flat group schemes from the proof is that it would be a sensible first step for the modularity lifting theorem with higher weight where no reasonable analogue of finite flat group schemes for torsion representations is available. (We do not claim, however, that our proof gives any indication towards this generalization.) We point out that our technique is motivated by the author s study of positive characteristic analogue of crystalline deformation rings (using the theory of 1 In fact, the construction of the resolved deformation space could be carried out using a slightly weaker statement. 2 This classification of finite flat group schemes when p = 2 is now proved in [Kim10] without the connectedness assumption, but in order to prove Theorem 1.1 it is enough to know the classification of connected finite flat group schemes which was already proved by Kisin [Kis09a, Theorem 1.3.9]. 3 The most of the proof appears in Kisin [Kis09b, 2] while he only completed the proof when the residue field of K is F p. ( Gee ) [Gee06] then made some technical improvement and proved Theorem 1.1 assuming ρ 1 0 0 1, and Imai [Ima08] removed the final ( assumption. Note that for ) proving a modularity lifting theorem we may always assume ρ 1 0 0 1, so Gee s improvement suffices for this purpose. The papers [Gee06, Ima08] were written under the assumption that p > 2, but the same computations work when p = 2.

GLOIS DEFORMTION THEORY 3 Genestier-Lafforgue [GL10] and Hartl [Har10, Har09]). We include a section ( 5) to sketch this positive characteristic deformation theory. 1.2. Structure and overview of the paper. Let K be a finite extension of Q p, K = K( p π) for a chosen uniformizer π K, GK := Gal(K/K) and G K := Gal(K/K ). It was observed (first by Breuil) that a certain class G K -representations (more precisely, G K -representations of height 1, defined in Definition 2.1.3) plays an important role in classifying finite flat group schemes and p-divisible groups over O K. In this paper, instead of using the classification of finite flat group schemes, we directly work with G K -deformations of height 1 (defined in 2.2). In 2 we prove that the G K -deformation functor of height 1 is representable. (See 2.4 for an explanation why this is not an obvious theorem.) In 3 we study the structure of this G K -deformation ring of height 1 by resolving the deformation space via an analogue of moduli of finite flat group schemes (as in Kisin [Kis09b, 2]). In 4, we relate the Barsotti-Tate deformation ring and the G K -deformation ring of height 1, and deduce Theorem 1.1. The main input in 4 is Proposition 4.3.1, which can be read off from the literature when p > 2, and is proved when p = 2 by the author in [Kim10, Proposition 5.6]. In the last section 5, we explain the positive characteristic analogue of this deformation theory, which inspired the author to study the p-adic G K -deformations of height 1. cknowledgement. The author deeply thanks his thesis supervisor Brian Conrad for his guidance. The author especially appreciates his careful listening of my results and numerous helpful comments. The author thanks Tong Liu for his helpful advice and the anonymous referees for their comments on the presentations and suggesting improvements of the original argument of the previous version. 2. Deformation rings of height h Let k be a finite extension of F p, W (k) its ring of Witt vectors, and K 0 := W (k)[ 1 p ]. Let K be a finite totally ramified extension of K 0 and let us fix its algebraic closure K. We fix a uniformizer π K. and choose π (n) K so that (π (n+1) ) p = π (n) and π (0) = π. Put K := n K(π(n) ), G K := Gal(K/K), and G K := Gal(K/K ). We refer to [Kis06] for the motivation of considering K. 2.1. Etale ϕ-modules and Kisin modules. Let us consider a ring R equipped with an endomorphism σ : R R. (We will often assume that σ is finite flat.) By (ϕ, R)-module (often abbreviated as a ϕ-module, if R is understood), we mean a finitely presented R-module M together with an R-linear morphism ϕ M : σ M M, where σ denotes the scalar extension by σ. morphism between to (ϕ, R)- modules is a ϕ-compatible R-linear map. For any R-algebra R equipped with an endomorphism σ over σ, the scalar extension M R R has a natural (ϕ, R )- module structure. Let S := W (k)[[u]] where u is a formal variable. Let O E be the p-adic completion of S[ 1 u ], and E := O E[ 1 p ]. Note that O E is a complete discrete valuation ring with uniformiser p and O E /(p) = k((u)). 4 We extend the Witt vectors Frobenius to S, O E, and E by sending u to u p, and denote them by σ. (We write σ S instead, if we need to specify that it is an endomoprhism on S, for example.) Note that σ is finite and flat. We denote by σ ( ) the scalar extension by σ. We fix an Eisenstein 4 We should view the residue field k((u)) as the norm field for the extension K /K. See [Win83] for more details.

4 W. KIM polynomial P(u) W (k)[u] with P(π) = 0 and P(0) = p, and view it as an element of S. Definition 2.1.1. n étale ϕ-module is a (ϕ, O E )-module (M, ϕ M ) such that ϕ M : σ M M is an isomorphism. We say an étale ϕ-module M is free (respectively, torsion) if the underlying O E -module is free (respectively, p -torsion). For a non-negative integer h, a ϕ-module of height h is a (ϕ, S)-module such that the underlying S-module M is free and coker(ϕ M ) is killed by P(u) h. torsion ϕ-module of height h is a (ϕ, S)-module such that the underlying S-module M is p -torsion with no non-zero u-torsion and coker(ϕ M ) is killed by P(u) h. Note that a nonzero p -torsion S-module is of projective dimension 1 if and only if it has no non-zero u-torsion, and by [Kis06, Lemma 2.3.4] any torsion ϕ- module of height h is obtained as a ϕ-equivariant quotient of ϕ-module of height h. Let ÔE ur denote the p-adic completion of strict henselization of O E. By the universal property of strict henselization, Ô E ur has a natural G K -action and a ring endomorphism σ. For a finitely generated Z p -module T with continuous G K - action, define (2.1.2a) D E (T ) := (T OE Ô E ur) G K, equipped with the ϕ-structure induced from σ on ÔEur. For an étale ϕ-module M, define (2.1.2b) T E (M) := (M OE Ô E ur) ϕ=1, viewed as a G K -module via its natural action on ÔEur. By Fontaine [Fon90, 1.2], T E and D E define quasi-inverse exact equivalences of categories between the categories of étale ϕ-modules and the category of finitely generated Z p -module with continuous G K -action, which respects all the natural operations and preserves ranks and lengths whenever applicable. Let M denote either a ϕ-module of height h or a torsion ϕ-module of height h. Then M S O E is an étale ϕ-module 5, so we may associate G K -representation to such M as follows: (2.1.2c) T h S (M) := T E (M S O E )(h), where T (h) denotes the Tate twist ; i.e., twisting the G K -action on T by χ h cyc GK. It is a non-trivial theorem of Kisin [Kis06, Proposition 2.1.12] that this functor T h S from the category of ϕ-module of height h to the category of G K -representations is fully faithful. Note that T h S is not in general fully faithful on the category of torsion ϕ-module of height h Definition 2.1.3. Z p -lattice G K -representation 6 T is of height h if there exists a ϕ-module M of height h such that T = T h S (M). p-adic G K -representation V is of height h if there exists a G K -stable Z p -lattice which is of height h (or equivalently by [Kis06, Lemma 2.1.15] 7, if any G K -stable Z p -lattice which is of height h). torsion G K -representation 8 T is of height h if there exists a torsion ϕ- module M of height h such that T = T h S (M). (We say that such M is a S-module model of height h for T.) 5 Note that P(u) is a unit in OE. 6 i.e., a finite free Zp-module with continuous G K -action 7 In fact, we need a slight refinement of [Kis06, Lemma 2.1.15]; namely, replacing finite height in the statement by height h. The proof can be easily modified to prove this refinement. 8 i.e., a finite torsion Zp-module with continuous G K -action

GLOIS DEFORMTION THEORY 5 The motivation of this definition is Kisin s theorem [Kis06, Proposition 2.1.5] which asserts that the restriction to G K of a p-adic semi-stable G K -representation with Hodge-Tate weights in [0, h] is of height h. Lemma 2.1.4. torsion G K -representation T is of height h if and only if T = T / T for some T and T which are Z p -lattice G K -representations of height h. Proof. Note that for any exact sequence ( ) : 0 M M M 0 with M, M Mod S (ϕ) h and M (Mod /S) h, the sequence T h S ( ) is exact; This is a consequence of the exactness of T E defined in (2.1.2b), which is proved in [Fon90, 1.2]. The if direction now follows from this. To show the only if direction, one needs to show that any M (Mod /S) h can be put in some exact sequence ( ) as above, but this could be done by the essentially same proof of [Kis06, Lemma 2.3.4]. 9 2.2. Deformations of height h. Let F be a finite field of characteristic p, and ρ : G K GL d (F) a representation. Let O be a p-adic discrete valuation ring with residue field F. Let R O be the category of artin local O-algebras whose residue field is F, and let ÂR O be the category of complete local noetherian O- algebras with residue field F. Let D, D : ÂR O (Sets) be the deformation functor and framed deformation functor for ρ. For the definition, see the standard references such as [Maz97, Maz89, Gou01]. Contrary to local and global deformation functors we usually consider, these functors cannot be represented by complete local noetherian rings since the tangent spaces D (F[ɛ]) and D (F[ɛ]) are infinite dimensional F-vector spaces. See 2.4 for more details. We say that a deformation ρ, over R O is of height h if it is a torsion G K -representation of height h as a torsion Z p [G K ]-module; or equivalently, if there exists M (Mod /S) h and an isomorphism T h S (M) = ρ, as Z p [G K ]- modules. For ÂR O, we say that ρ, is of height h if ρ, /m n is a deformation of height h for n 1. 10 When R O, both definitions clearly coincide. When is finite flat over Z p, a deformation ρ, over is of height h if and only if ρ, is of height h as a Z p -lattice G K -representation (in the sense of Definition 2.1.3), by [Liu07, Theorem 2.4.1]. Let D h D and D, h D respectively denote subfunctors of deformations and framed deformations of height h. The following theorem is one of the main result of this paper: Theorem 2.3. The functor D h always has a hull. If End GK ( ρ ) = F then D h is representable (by R h ÂR O). The functor D, h is representable (by ÂR O) with no assumption on ρ. Furthermore, the natural inclusions D and D, h D of functors are relatively representable by surjective maps in ÂR O. R, h D h We call R, h the universal framed deformation ring of height h and R h the universal deformation ring of height h if it exists. We prove this theorem for the rest of this section beginning 2.4. 9 We will only need this result when h = 1 which is proved in [Kis06, Lemma 2.3.4]. In general, one just need to modify the proof as follows: using the same notation as in loc.cit., take L to be a finite free S/P(u) h -module which admits a S/P(u) h -surjection L L := coker(1 ϕm ). 10 By Lemma 2.4.1, it is equivalent to require that ρ, /m n is a deformation of height h for each n.

6 W. KIM Remark 2.3.1. Let be any finite algebra over Frac O, and ρ, : G K GL d () be any lift of ρ (i.e., there exists some finite O-subalgebra and G K -stable -lattice in ρ, which lifts ρ. Then, by [Liu07, Theorem 2.4.1] ρ, arises as a pull back of the universal (framed) deformation of height h if and only if ρ, is of height h as a Q p -representation. 2.4. Resumé of Mazur s and Ramakrishna s theory. Schlessinger [Sch68, Thm 2.11] gave a set of criteria (H1) (H4) for a functor D : R O (Sets) to be representable. For a profinite group Γ and a continuous F-linear Γ-representation ρ, Mazur [Maz89, 1.2] showed that the framed deformation functor D ρ of ρ satisfies all the Schlessinger criteria except the finiteness of the tangent space D ρ (F[ɛ]), and the same for the deformation functor D ρ if End Γ ( ρ) = F. When Γ is either an absolute Galois group for a finite extension of Q p, or a certain quotient of the absolute Galois group of any finite extension of Q, Mazur obtained the finiteness of the tangent space from so-called p-finiteness [Maz89, 1.1], but it is very unlikely to hold for more general class of Γ. Unfortunately, G K does not satisfy the p-finiteness, and in fact the tangent space D (F[ɛ]) is infinite even when ρ is 1-dimensional. To see this, note that D (F[ɛ]) = Hom cont (G K, F) when ρ is 1-dimensional, This is infinite from the norm field isomorphism G K = Gal(k((u)) sep /k((u))) and the existence of infinitely many rtin-schreier cyclic p-extensions of k((u)). For a finite dimensional ρ, one sees that the deformation and framed deformation functors D and D never satisfies (H3) from deforming the determinant 11, and in particular these unrestricted deformation functors are never represented by a complete local noetherian ring. Now, let us look at the subfunctors D h D and D, h D which consist of deformations of height h (as defined in 2.2). We first state the following lemma: Lemma 2.4.1. ny subquotients and direct sums of torsion G K -representations of height h is of height h. Proof. The assertion about direct sums is obvious. Now consider a short exact sequence 0 M M M 0 of p -torsion étale ϕ-modules and assume that there is a ϕ-sbable S-submodule M (Mod /S) h in M such that M S O E = M. Let M be the image of M by M M and M the kernel of the natural map M M. One can check that M and M are objects in (Mod /S) h such that M S O E = M and M S O E = M. Now the proposition follows from the exactness of D E and T E. Lemma 2.4.1 implies that the condition of being of height h is closed under fiber products. It immediately follows (cf. the proof of [Ram93, Theorem 1.1]) that the functor D, h satisfies all the Schlessinger s criteria except the finiteness of D, h (F[ɛ]); and the same for D h if we have End GK ( ρ ) = F. So to prove the representability assertion of Theorem 2.3 it remains to check the finiteness 12 of D h (F[ɛ]) and D, h (F[ɛ]). Before doing this, let us digress to show the relative representability of the subfunctor D h D, which essentially follows from Lemma 2.4.1. 11 For any F[ɛ]-deformation det( ρ ) + ɛ c of det( ρ ) (where c : G K F is a cocycle), the c 0 deformation ρ + ɛ c with c := 0 0 has determinant det( ρ ) + ɛ c..... 12 Even though D (F[ɛ]) is infinite, one can hope that the subspace D, h (F[ɛ]) is finite.

GLOIS DEFORMTION THEORY 7 Proposition 2.5. The subfunctor D h D is relatively representable by surjective maps in ÂR O. In other words, for any given deformation ρ over ÂR O, there exists a universal quotient h of over which the deformation is of height h. Proof. Consider a functor h : R O (Sets) defined by h (B) := Hom O (B, ) for B R O, and a subfunctor h h h defined as below: h h (B) := {f : B such that ρ,f B is of height h}, where B R O. Since h is prorepresentable and the subfunctor h h is closed under subquotients and direct sums, it follows that h h is prorepresentable, say by a quotient h of. It is clear that h satisfies the desired properties. (cf. the proof of [Ram93, Theorem 1.1].) and D, h, thus prove the representability as- Now let us verify (H3) for D h sertion of Theorem 2.3. Proposition 2.6. The tangent spaces D h (F[ɛ]) and D, h (F[ɛ]) are finite-dimensional F-vector spaces. Proof. Let us first fix the notation. 2.6.1. Notations and Definitions. Let be a p-adically separated and complete topological ring 13, (for example, finite Z p -algebras or any ring with p N = 0 for some N). Set S := S Zp := lim S Zp /I α where {I α } is a basis of open α ideals in. We define a ring endomorphism σ : S S (and call it the Frobenius endomorphism) by -linearly extending the Frobenius endomorphism σ S. We also put O E, := O E Zp := lim O E Zp /I α and similarly define an endomorphism α σ : O E, O E,. Let (ModFI /S) h be the category of finite free S -modules M equipped with a S -linear map ϕ M : σ (M ) M such that P(u) h annihilates coker(ϕ M ). If is finite artinean Z p -algebra, then M (ModFI /S) h is precisely a torsion (ϕ, S)-module of height h equipped with a ϕ-compatible -action such that M is finite free over S. Let (ModFI /O E ) ét be the category of finite free O E,-modules M equipped with a O E, -linear isomorphism ϕ M : σ (M ) M. If is finite artinean Z p -algebra, then one can check that T E and D E, defined in (2.1.2), induce rankpreserving quasi-inverse exact equivalences of categories between the category of -representations of G K and (ModFI /O E ) ét.14 Lemma 2.6.2. Let F be a finite extension of F p, and ρ a G K -representation over F which is of height h as a torsion G K -representation (in the sense of Definition 2.1.3). Then there exists M F (ModFI /S) h F such that ρ = T h S (M F). Proof. Put M := D h E ( ρ( h)) and let M F := M + M be the maximal S- submodule of height h, which exists by [CL09, Proposition 3.2.3]. Then the ϕ-compatible F-action on M (induced by the scalar multiplication on ρ) induces a ϕ-compatible F-action on M F, which makes M F a projective S F -module. (Note that S F is a product of copies of a discrete valuation ring.) To show M F (ModFI /S) h F it is left to show that M F is free over S F, but this follows because the endomorphism σ : S F S F transitively permutes the orthogonal idempotents of S F. 13 For us topological rings are always linearly topologized. Later we need to consider coefficient rings that are not finite Z p-algebras such as = F[t], especially for analyzing the connected components of the generic fiber of a deformation ring. 14 The relevant freeness follows from length consideration and Nakayama lemma.

8 W. KIM Remark 2.6.3. Lemma 2.6.2 does not fully generalize to a G K -representation ρ of height h over a finite artinean Z p -algebra. ssume that he p where e is the absolute ramification index of K, and consider F[ɛ] where ɛ 2 = 0. Let M be a rank-1 free O E,F[ɛ] -module equipped with ϕ M (σ e) = (P(u) h + 1 uɛ)e for an O E,F[ɛ] -basis e M. Let M be a S F -span of {e, 1 uɛe} in M. Then M M is a S- submodule of height h (using that he p), but one can check that there cannot exist a S-submodule of height h which is rank-1 free over S F[ɛ]. 15 Note also that M above is the maximal S-submodule of height h and has a ϕ-compatible F[ɛ]-action induced from M, but M is not projective over S F[ɛ]. This is where the proof of Lemma 2.6.2 fails. Now we can begin the proof of Proposition 2.6. Since D, h (F[ɛ]) is a torsor of ĜL d (F[ɛ])/(1 + ɛ d( ρ ) G K ) over D h (F[ɛ]) (where ĜL d is the formal completion of GL d at the identity section), it is enough to show that the set D h (F[ɛ]) is finite. 2.6.4. Setup. Let M := D E ( ρ ( h)) and consider (M, ι), where M (ModFI /O E ) ét F[ɛ] and ι : M = M F[ɛ] F is a ϕ-compatible O E,F -linear isomorphism. Two such lifts (M, ι) and (M, ι ) are equivalent if there exists an isomorphism f : M M with (f mod ɛ) ι = ι. Fontaine s theory of étale ϕ-modules [Fon90, 1.2] implies that T E ( )(h) and D E ( ( h)) induce inverse bijections between D (F[ɛ]) and the set of equivalent classes of (M, ι). Now assume that there is a ϕ-stable S F -lattice M M of height h. (Note that we do not require M to be a S F[ɛ] -submodule.) By Lemma 2.6.2, the set of equivalence classes of (M, ι) admitting such M M exactly corresponds to D h (F[ɛ]) via the bijections in the previous paragraph. So Proposition 2.6 is equivalent to the following claim: Claim 2.6.5. There exists only finitely many equivalence classes of (M, ι) where M admits a ϕ-stable S F -lattice which is of height h. 2.6.6. Strategy and Outline. One possible approach to prove Claim 2.6.5 is to fix a O E,F -basis for M and a lift to an O E,F[ɛ] -basis for each deformation M once and for all, and identify M with the ϕ-matrix with respect to the fixed basis and interpret the equivalence relations in terms of the ϕ-matrix. Then the problem turns into showing the finiteness of equivalence classes of matrices with some constraints namely, having some integral structure ; more precisely, having a ϕ-stable S F - lattice with height h (but not necessarily a S F[ɛ] -lattice; cf. Lemma 2.6.2 and Remark 2.6.3). So the fixed basis has to reflect the integral structure. This approach faces the following obstacles. Firstly, the deformations M we consider do not necessarily allow any ϕ-stable S F[ɛ] -lattice with height h as we have seen at Remark 2.6.3. In other words, we cannot expect, in general, to find a O E,F[ɛ] -basis {e i } for M in such a way that {e i, ɛe i } generates a S F -lattice of height h. In 2.6.7 2.6.9 we show that a weaker statement is true. Roughly speaking, we show that there is an O E,F[ɛ] -basis {e i } for M so that there exists a ϕ-stable S F -lattice with height h with a S F -basis only involving uniformly u-adically bounded denominators as coefficients relative to the O E,F -basis {e i, ɛ e i } of M. Secondly, we may have more than one ϕ-stable S F -lattice with height h for M or for M, especially when he is large. In particular, a fixed S F -lattice for M may not be nicely related to any ϕ-stable S F -lattice with height h for some lift M (ModFI /O E ) ét F[ɛ]. We get around this issue by varying the basis for M among finitely many choices. This step is carried out in 2.6.11. In fact, we only need 15 One way to see this is by directly computing the ϕ-matrix for any OE,F[ɛ] -basis e M, and show that it cannot divide P(u) h.

GLOIS DEFORMTION THEORY 9 finitely many choices of bases because there are only finitely many S F -lattices of height h for a fixed M, thanks to [CL09, Proposition 3.2.3]. Once we get around these technical problems, we show the finiteness by a σ- conjugacy computation of matrices. This is the key technical step and crucially uses the assumption that the F[ɛ]-deformations we consider (or rather, the corresponding étale ϕ-module M) admits a ϕ-stable S F -lattice in M with height h. See Claim 2.6.12 for more details. 2.6.7. Let M correspond to some F[ɛ]-deformation of height h. Even though there may not exist any ϕ-stable S F[ɛ] -lattice with height h for M, we can find a ϕ-stable S F -lattice M with height h such that M is stable under multiplication by ɛ. 16 In fact, the maximal S-submodule M + M among the ones with height h does the job. (The existence of M + is by [CL09, Proposition 3.2.3].) 2.6.8. For a S F -lattice M M of height h which is stable under the ɛ- multiplication, we can find a S F -basis which can be nicely written in terms of some O E,F[ɛ] -basis of M, as follows. Let M be the image of M M induced by the natural projection M M, which is a ϕ-stable S F -lattice in M with height h. Now, consider the following diagram: 0 N M M 0 ɛ M M M F 0, where N := ker[m M] is a ϕ-stable S F -lattice with height h in M. We choose a S F -basis {e 1,, e n } of M. Viewing them as a O E,F -basis of M, we lift {e i } to an O E,F[ɛ] -basis of M (again denoted by {e i }). By the assumption from the previous step, we have n i=1 S F (ɛe i ) N, where both are S F -lattices of height h for ɛ M. It follows that ( 1 u ɛ)e r i i form a S F -basis of N for some non-negative integers r i. Therefore, {e i, ( 1 u ɛ)e r i i} is a S F -basis of M. 2.6.9. In this step, we find an upper bound for the non-negative integers r i only depending on M and the choice of S F -basis of M. Since N is a ϕ-stable submodule, it contains ( ( )) 1 (2.6.10) ϕ M σ u ɛe ri i ( ) 1 = u ɛ ϕ pri M (σ e i ) = 1 u ɛ n α ij e j, pri where α ij S F satisfy ϕ M (σ e i ) = n j=1 α ije j. Note that we obtain the first identity because ϕ M (σ e i ) lifts ϕ M (σ e i ) and the ɛ-multiple ambiguity in the lift disappears when we multiply against ɛ. Since any element of N is a S F -linear combination of ( 1 u ɛ)e r i i, we obtain inequalities ord u (α ij ) pr i r j for all i, j from the above equation (2.6.10). Let r := max j {r j } and we obtain pr i r + min j {ord u (α ij )} for all i. (Note that the right side of the inequality is always finite.) Now, by taking the maximum among all i, we obtain r 1 p 1 max { min {ord u (α ij )} } < i j This shows that the non-negative integers r i has an upper bound which only depends on the matrices entries for ϕ M with respect to the S F -basis of M. 0 j=1 16 This means that M is a ϕ-module over SF[ɛ] and is projective over S F, but M does not have to be a projective S F[ɛ] -module. Hence, such M may not be an object in (ModFI /S) h F[ɛ]. This actually occurs: M = S F e S F ( 1 ɛe) discussed in Remark 2.6.3 is such an example. u

10 W. KIM 2.6.11. Recapitulation. Let {M (a) } denote the set of all the S F -lattices of height h in M. This is a finite set by [CL09, Proposition 3.2.3]. For each M (a), we fix a S F -basis {e (a) i } and let α (a) = (α (a) ij ) Mat n(s F ) be the ϕ-matrix with respect to {e (a) i }; i.e., ϕ M (a)(σ e (a) i ) = n i=1 α(a) ij e(a) j. We also view {e (a) i } as a O E,F -basis for M and (α (a) ij ) is the matrix for ϕ M with respect to {e(a) i invertible over O E,F since M = M (a) [ 1 u ] is an étale ϕ-module. We pick an integer }. Note that (α (a) ij ) is r (a) 1 p 1 max i { minj {ord u (α ij )} }, for each index a. For any M which corresponds to a deformation of height h, we may find a S F - lattice M M of height h which is stable under ɛ-multiplication. (See 2.6.7.) Then the image of M inside M is equal to one of M (a). Pick such M (a), and lift the chosen basis {e (a) i } to an O E,F[ɛ] -basis for M. Then M admits a S F -basis of form {e (a) i, ( 1 u r i ɛ)e(a) i } for some integers r i r (a) ( 2.6.8 2.6.9). Let us consider the matrix representation of ϕ M with respect to the basis {e (a) i }. We have ϕ M (e (a) i ) = i (α(a) ij + ɛβ (a) ij )e(a) j for some β (a) = (β (a) ij ) Mat n(o E,F ) because ϕ M lifts ϕ M. Furthermore we have that β 1 Mat n (S F ) since M M u r(a) is ϕ-stable. We say two such matrices β and β are equivalent if there exists a matrix X Mat n (O E,F ) such that β = β + (α (a) σ(x) X α (a) ). This equation is obtained from the following: (α (a) + ɛβ ) = (Id n +ɛx) 1 (α (a) + ɛβ) σ(id n +ɛx), which defines the equivalence of two étale ϕ-modules whose ϕ-structures are given by (α (a) + ɛβ) and (α (a) + ɛβ ), respectively. Now, the theorem is reduced to the verification of the following claim: for each a, there exist only finitely many equivalence classes of matrices β 1 Mat n (S F ). u Indeed, by varying both a and the equivalence classes of β, we cover all r(a) the possible lifts M of height h up to equivalence, hence the theorem is proved. From now on, we fix a and suppress the superscript ( ) (a) everywhere. For example, M := M (a), r := r (a), and α := α (a). Proving the following claim is the last step of the proof. Claim 2.6.12. For any X u c Mat n (S F ) with c > 2he, the matrices β and β + X are equivalent. 17 This claim provides a surjective map from ( 1 u Mat r n (S F ) ) / (u c Mat n (S F )) onto the set of equivalence classes of β s, and the former is a finite set 18, thus we conclude the proof of Proposition 2.6. We prove the claim by successive approximation. Let γ = u he α 1. Note that γ Mat n (S F ) since M is of height h and P(u) has image in S F = (k Fp F)[[u]] with u-order e. We set Y (1) := 1 (Xγ), which is in u c he Mat u he n (S F ) by the assumption on X. Then β + X is equivalent to (β + X) + (α σ(y (1) ) Y (1) α) = β + α σ(y (1) ) =: β + X (1) with X (1) u c(1) Mat n (S F ), where c (1) := p(c he) > c. Now for any positive integer i, we recursively define the following Y (i) := 1 u he (X(i 1) γ), X (i) := α σ(y (i) ), c (i) := p(c (i 1) he). 17 The inequality c > 2he is used to ensure p(c he) > c. So c = 2he also works unless p = 2. 18 We crucially used the fact that we can bound the denominator.

GLOIS DEFORMTION THEORY 11 One can check that c (i) > c(i 1)(> 2he), X (i) u c(i) Mat n (S F ), and Y (i) u c(i 1) he Mat n (S F ). Since c (i) as i, it follows that the infinite sum Y := i=1 Y (i) converges and X (i) 0 as i. Therefore we see that β + X is equivalent to ( (β + X) + (α σ(y ) Y α) = (β + X) + α σ ( Y (i)) ( ) Y (i)) α so we are done. i=1 = lim i (β + X (i) ) = β, 3. Generic fibers of deformation rings of height 1 Let ρ be a G K -representation over F and let R, 1 denote the framed deformation ring of height 1. In this section we study the generic fiber R, 1 [ 1 p ], such as formal smoothness, dimension, and connected components. The main idea is to resolve R, 1 via some suitable closed subscheme of affine grassmannian which parametrize certain nice S-module models of height 1 for framed deformations of ρ. This technique is inspired by Kisin s construction of moduli of finite flat group schemes [Kis09b, 2] (and also [Kis08, 1]). In fact, it is even possible to summarize this section by repeating [Kis09b, 2] for our setting, due to the similarities of linear algebraic structures involved. (For this reason, we try to state minimal number of definitions and results enough to indicate the flavor of the argument, and give references for proofs. 19 ) Note, however, that we resolve a framed G K -deformation ring R, 1 instead of a framed flat deformation ring. With some extra work, many results in this section generalize to (framed) G K - deformation rings of height h for any h, possibly except the connectedness of non-ordinary loci. See [Kim09, 11] for the statements and proofs. ll the results apply to (unframed) G K -deformation rings if they exist. 3.1. Definition: moduli of S-modules of height h. Let h be a positive integer, and we will later specialize to the case when h = 1. Consider a deformation of ρ over R ÂR O which is of height h (i.e. R R/m n R is of height h for each n). The main examples to keep in mind are universal framed or unframed deformation of height h. We use the notation introduced in 2.6.1. Put M R := lim M n where M n (ModFI /O E ) ét R/m is such that T n R E (M n )(h) = R R/m n R for each n. For any R-algebra, we view M R R as an étale ϕ-module by -linearly extending ϕ MR. For a complete local noetherian ring R, let ug R be the category of pairs (, I) where is an R-algebra and I is an ideal with I N = 0 for some N which contains m R. Note that an artin local R-algebra can be viewed as an element in ug O by setting I := m. morphism (, I) (B, J) in ug R is an R-morphism B which takes I into J. We define a functor D h S, : ug R (Sets) by putting D h S, (, I) the set of ϕ-stable S -lattices in M R R which are of height h. In [Kis08] this functor is denoted by L h Proposition 3.2. There exists a projective R-scheme G R h lattice M h M R R O h G R of height h which represents D h. in the following sense: there exists a natural isomorphism G R h D h S, i=1 and a S Zp O G R h S, - such that for any 19 Some references are written under the assumptions that p > 2, but this will not be used in the proof we cite later.

12 W. KIM (, I) ug R it sends an -point η G R h () to η (M h ) D h S, (, I). (We call M h a universal S-lattice of height h for.) Moreover, for any map R R of complete local noetherian rings, there exists a unique isomorphism G R h R R G R h R R, which pulls back M h R R to M h R R inside of (M R R O h G R ) R. R This proposition is proved in [Kis08, Proposition 1.3; Corollary 1.5.1; Corollary 1.7] possibly except the base change assertion which is straightforward, so we omit the proof. 3.3. Generic Fiber of G R h. For a finite Q p -algebra, we define (ModFI /S) h to be the category of ϕ-modules M such that for some finite Z p -subalgebra there exists M (ModFI /S) h with M [ 1 p ] = M. For such M, we define T h S (M ) := T h S (M ), which is naturally an -representation of height h. Note that T h S (M ) is independent of the choice of M. Let be a local R-algebra with residue field E which is finite over Q p, and let + denote the preimage of O E under the natural projection E. By the valuative criterion, any R-map Spec G R h factors through Spec +, so in turn, it factors through Spec where is an R-subalgebra in + which is finite over O and such that [ 1 p ] =. This implies that G R h () is naturally isomorphic to the set of ϕ-stable S -lattices M of M R R such that M (ModFI /S) h. Proposition 3.4. The structure morphism G R h Zp Q p Spec(R Zp Q p ) is an isomorphism. If the map Spf R D h of functors on R O defined by a deformation is formally smooth, then R[ 1 p ] is formally smooth over Frac(O). In particular, R, h [ 1 p ] is formally smooth over Frac(O). Proof. The first assertion is a direct consequence of [Kis08, Proposition 1.6.4]. For the second assertion, it is enough to check the formal smoothness at each maximal ideal because the formal smoothness locus is open. (cf. [Gro67, 0 IV, (22.6.6)].) Using the assumption on R, we are reduced to showing that for any square-zero thickening of finite Q p -algebra and any M (ModFI /S) h, there exists M (ModFI /S) h which lifts M. When h = 1 this readily follows from [Kis06, Proposition 2.2.2] and [Kis09b, Lemma 2.3.9]. In general, we can proceed as follows. Choose finite Z p -subalgebras and, so that is a square-zero thickening of, and there exists a ϕ-stable S -lattice M (ModFI /S) h of ), and the proof of [Kis09b, Lemma 1.2.2(2)] can be adapted to show that ω is projective over. Now consider a projective -module ω which lifts ω, a free S -module M which lifts M, and a -linear surjection M /(P(u) h ) ω which lifts M /(P(u) h ) ω. Let N denote the kernel of the natural projection M M. We will lift M to some M (ModFI /S) h. Put ω := coker(ϕ M ω. Then since ω is -flat, N surjects onto the image of ϕ M under the natural projection M M ; so in turn, the surjective map σ M σ M ϕ (σ M M ) can be lifted to a map σ M N. (Note that ϕ M is injective. cf. [Kis09b, Lemma 1.2.2(1)].) By post-composing it with the natural inclusion, we obtain a S -map ϕ M : σ M M which lifts ϕ M, and its image contains P(u) h M by construction. 3.5. Hodge type and local structure. From now on, we assume that h = 1 and ρ is 2-dimensional. Consider a lift of ρ over R ÂR O as a G K -representation.

GLOIS DEFORMTION THEORY 13 Define a subfunctor DS,ρ v R D 1 S, as follows: for any (, I) ug R the subset DS,ρ v R (, I) consists of all M s with the property that im(ϕ M )/P(u)M M /P(u)M is its own annihilator under some O K Zp -linear symplectic pairing on M /P(u)M. This notion does not depend on the choice of the pairing. The following lemma follows from the same argument as the proof of [Kis09a, Theorem 2.3.9(1)]. can be represented by a closed sub- Lemma 3.5.1. The subfunctor DS,ρ v R scheme G R v G R 1. D 1 S, Remark 3.5.2. With a little more work, one can show that Spec R v [ 1 p ] Spec R[ 1 p ] is an equi-dimensional union of connected components, and when R = R, 1, then the dimension of R v [ 1 p ] = R,v [ 1 p ] is 4 + [K : Q p]. We do not use this result later. The following is a consequence of [Kis09a, Lemma 2.3.4]. Lemma 3.5.3. Let Spec R v denote the scheme-theoretic image of G R v in Spec R. Then for any finite Q p -algebra, a Z p -morphism ξ : R factors through R v if and only if det( R,ξ ) IK = χ cyc IK. Let G R v,0 denote the fiber over the closed point of Spec R under the structure morphism G R v Spec R. For a scheme X, we let H 0 (X) denote the set of connected components of X. induced by is for- Proposition 3.5.4. ssume that the morphism Spf R D 1 mally smooth. Then the natural maps below are bijective. H 0 (G R v Zp Q p ) H 0 (G R v ) H 0 (G R v,0) We only indicate the main idea and references as the proof is not very different from the situation considered in Kisin [Kis09b]. We first show that G R v is O-flat and G R v O O/m O is reduced under the assumption of the proposition. This can be proved by constructing a local model diagram (for smooth topology) with Deligne-Pappas local model as in the proof of [Kis07, Proposition 2.7] or [Kis09a, Theorem 2.3.9]. Now one can apply the same proof of [Kis09b, Corollary 2.4.10] (which uses the theorem on formal functions) to deduce the proposition. 3.6. Let M be an object either in(mod /S) 1 or in (ModFI /S) 1 where is either p-adically separated and complete or finite over Q p. Note that there exists a unique map ψ M : M σ M such that ψ M ϕ M and ϕ M ψ M are given by multiplication by P(u). We say M is étale if ϕ M is an isomorphism, and of Lubin- Tate type (of height 1) if ψ M is an isomorphism. When M (ModFI /S) 1 is of S -rank 2, we say that M is ordinary if M is an extension of a rank-1 Lubin-Tate type (ϕ, S )-module M LT by a rank-1 étale (ϕ, S )-module M ét. ssume that is a G K -representation of R-rank 2 with height 1, as before. We define the following subfunctor DS,ρ ord R DS,ρ v R by requiring that M should be ordinary, and let D ss S, D v S, be the complement of D ord S, (where the superscript ss stands for supersingular ). The following proposition is a direct consequence of Proposition 3.5.4 and the semilinear algebraic statement [Kis09b, Proposiiton 2.4.14] applied to the universal S-lattice of height 1. Proposition 3.7. The subfunctors D ord S,, D ss S, D v S, are represented by G R ord and G R ss, respectively, which are unions of connected components of G R v. Finally, we state the main result of this section.

14 W. KIM Proposition 3.8. ssume that the morphism Spf R D 1 induced by is formally smooth. Then Spec R ss [ 1 p ] is geometrically connected. Furthermore Spec Rord [ 1 p ] is geometrically connected unless ρ ψ 1 ψ 2 where ψ 1 and ψ 2 are distinct unramified characters. In the exceptional case there are exactly two components (which are geometrically connected), and two lifts are in the same component if and only if the G K -stable lines on which I K act via χ cyc IK reduce to the same character (either ψ 1 or ψ 2 ). Idea of the proof. Since the statement is insensitive of O and the setting is compatible with scalar extension of O by its finite integral extension, it is enough to show the connectedness instead of the geometric connectedness. By Proposition 3.4 and Proposition 3.5.4, the theorem follows from the corresponding connectedness assertions on G R ord,0 and G R ss,0 (using the notation of Proposition 3.5.4). To show the connectedness of G R ss,0, one explicitly constructs a chain of rational curves that connects any two closed points via the same affine grassmannian computation done in Kisin [Kis09b, Proposition 2.5.6] (improved by Gee [Gee06] and Imai [Ima08]); note that the linear algebra involved in G R ss,0 is very similar to that of moduli of finite flat group schemes. The scheme G R ord,0 can be computed by exactly the same method as [Kis09b, Proposition 2.5.15], possibly except that we need to prove the following assertion: For any finite F-algebra and a G K -stable -line L in ρ F such that L ( 1) is unramified, there exists at most one ϕ-stable S-submodule M D E ( ρ ( 1)) F which is ordinary torsion ϕ-module height 1 and whose étale submodule corresponds to L. To prove this, we first observe that the set of such M s is partially ordered by inclusion, so there exist maximal and minimal objects M + and M by [CL09, Proposition 3.2.3]. Since M and M + are extensions of common torsion ϕ-modules 20 and the inclusion M M + respects the extension, it is an isomorphism by 5-lemma (applied to the abelian category of S- modules). 4. pplication to Barsotti-Tate deformation rings In this section, we finally relate G K -deformation rings and crystalline deformation rings. The main result of this section is Corollary 4.2.1 which shows that a Barsotti-Tate deformation ring are isomorphic to a suitable G K -deformation ring of height 1 via the map defined by viewing G K -deformations as G K - deformations. 4.1. crystalline and semi-stable deformation rings. Let Rep [0,h] cris,q p (G K ) (respectively, Rep [0,h] st,q p (G K )) denote the category of p-adic crystalline (respectievly, semi-stable) G K -representations V such that gr w D dr (V ) = 0 for w / [0, h]. Let Rep[0,h] cris,z p (G K ) (respectively, Rep [0,h] st,z p (G K )) denote the category of Z p -lattice G K -representations T such that T [ 1 p ] Rep[0,h] cris,q p (G K ) (respectively, T [ 1 p ] Rep[0,h] st,q p (G K )). Let Rep [0,h] cris,tor (G K) (respectively, Rep [0,h] st,tor(g K )) denote the category of finite p -torsion G K -modules T which admit a G K -equivariant surjection T T where T Rep [0,h] cris,z p (G K ) (respectively, T Rep [0,h] st,z p (G K )). Note that the subcategories Rep [0,h] cris,tor (G K) and Rep [0,h] st,tor(g K ) are obviously closed under subquotients and direct sums inside the category of all finite p -torsion G K -modules. 20 Namely, both M and M + are extensions of a unique Lubin-Tate type torsion S-module model for ( ρ F )/L by a unique étale torsion S-module model for L.

GLOIS DEFORMTION THEORY 15 Let ρ : G K GL d (F) be a representation. Define a subfunctor D,[0,h] cris of the framed deformation functor D of ρ by requiring that a framed deformation ρ over R O is in D,[0,h] cris () if and only if ρ Rep [0,h] cris,tor (G K) as a torsion Z p [G K ]-module (i.e., ignoring the -action). By repeating the argument in 2.4, we obtain the universal quotient R,[0,h] cris R which represents D,[0,h] cris of the universal framed deformation ring. We can similarly define a subfunctor D,[0,h] st D using Rep [0,h] st,tor(g K ) and obtain the universal quotient R,[0,h] st that one can define subfunctors D [0,h] cris, D[0,h] st representable. The following is a difficult theorem of Tong Liu [Liu07]: or R. Note also D, which turn out to be relatively Theorem 4.1.1. Let ξ : R be an O-algebra map where is an finite algebra over Frac O, and let ρ ξ := ρ R,ξ where ρ is the universal framed deformation. Then ξ factors through the quotient R,[0,h] cris (respectively, R,[0,h] st ) if and only if ρ ξ Rep [0,h] cris,q p (G K ), where ρ ξ is viewed as a p-adic G K -representation by forgetting the -action. Remark 4.1.2. If ρ Rep [0,1] cris,q p (G K ), then there exists a p-divisible group G over O K such that V p (G) = ρ. (This is proved by Breuil [Bre00, Théorème 1.4] when p > 2 and by Kisin [Kis06, Corollary 2.2.6] when p = 2.) Combining T. Liu s theorem (Theorem 4.1.1), we see that D,[0,1] cris () is same as the flat (framed) deformation functor. Set ρ := ρ GK. Let R, h with height h. Lemma 4.1.3. Restricting to G K res h cris : R, h be the universal framed deformation ring of ρ induces the following natural morphisms: R,[0,h] cris, and res h st : R, h R,[0,h] st. Furthermore, res h cris Q p induces surjections on the completions at each maximal ideal of R, h Zp Q p. The same holds for deformation rings (without framing) if End GK ( ρ ) = F. Proof. Let us first show that the G K -restriction of any T Rep st,tor(g [0,h] K ) is a torsion G K -representation of height h. Choose a presentation T = T / T such that T, T Rep [0,h] st,z p (G K ). Kisin [Kis06, Proposition 2.1.5, Lemma 2.1.15] showed that T and T are of height h, so it follows from Lemma 2.1.4 that T GK is a torsion representation of height h. Finally, the assertion on res h cris Q p directly follows from the full faithfulness of the G K -restriction on the category of p-adic crystalline G K -representations [Kis06, Corollary 2.1.14]. Let Rep 1 tor(g K ) denote the the category of torsion G K -representations of height 1 (Definition 2.1.3). The following theorem and its immediate corollary (Corollary 4.2.1) is the key step for connecting Proposition 3.8 and Theorem 1.1, which is done in 4.4: induces an equivalence of cate- Theorem 4.2. Restricting the G K -action to G K gories Rep [0,1] cris,tor (G K) Rep 1 tor(g K ). Corollary 4.2.1. The natural map res 1 cris : Spec R,[0,1] cris Spec R, 1 (defined in Lemma 4.1.3) is an isomorphism. The same holds for unframed deformation rings if they exist.

16 W. KIM Remark 4.2.2. Note that res h cris : Spec R,[0,h] cris Spec R, h is not in general an isomorphism (even after inverting p); the dimensions of the source and the target are not same at a maximal ideal of R,[0,h] cris [ 1 p ] which corresponds to a lift which has two Hodge-Tate weights that differ at least by 2. See [Kis08, Theorem 3.3.8] and [Kim09, Corollary 11.3.11] for the dimension formulas. 4.3. Proof of Theorem 4.2. Theorem 4.2 can be easily deduced from the following proposition: Proposition 4.3.1. If V Rep [0,1] cris,q p (G K ) then any G K -stable Z p -lattice in V is G K -stable. Sketch of the proof. This proposition when p > 2 can be read off from the literature (cf. [Kis06, Theorem 2.2.7]), and when p = 2 this proposition is the main arithmetic ingredient of [Kim10] (as opposed to geometric ingredients). So we only sketch the idea, and for the full details we refer to [Kim10, 5] or the references cited below. For V Rep [0,1] cris,q p (G K ) as in the statement, consider a G K -stable Z p -lattice T V. By [Kis06, Lemma 2.1.15] there exists M Mod S (ϕ) 1 such that T = S (M) (1). 21 On the other hand, we can associate, to M, a G K -stable lattice T in V via Breuil s theory of strongly divisible modules. To explain, let S be the p-adically completed divided powers envelop of W (k)[u] with respect to (P(u)). By the recipe given in [Kis06, 2.2.3] and [Bre00, Proposition 5.1.3] 22, we can view S σ,s M as a strongly divisible module. (cf. Definition 2.2.1 and Theorem 2.2.3 in [Bre02].) Now, we obtain a G K -stable Z p -lattice T := Tst(S σ,s M) in V, where Tst is defined below Definition 2.2.4 in [Bre02]. When p > 2, we can show that T = T (so T is G K -stable). This is proved in the first paragraph of the proof of [Kis06, Theorem 2.2.7]. When p = 2, we only T 1 have T T which can be proper inclusion, but we can show that T is a G K -stable sublattice in T. This is proved in [Kim10, Proposition 5.6]. Using Proposition 4.3.1, let us prove Theorem 4.2; i.e., the G K -restriction functor Rep [0,1] cris,tor (G K) Rep 1 tor(g K ) is an equivalence of categories. By Lemma 2.1.4, torsion G K -representations of height h are precisely those that can be written as T = T / T where T and T are Z p -lattice G K -representations of height 1. Set V := T [ 1 p ] = T [ 1 p ]. By [Kis06, Proposition 2.2.2], V can be uniquely extended to a crystalline representation (denoted by the same letter V ) which satisfies the condition in Proposition 4.3.1. This shows the essential surjectivity. It is left to show that for T, T Rep [0,1] cris,tor (G K), any G K -equivariant map f : T T is G K -equivariant. It is enough to handle the case when f is surjective; once we show this, then any injective G K -map T T is G K -equivariant since T T/T is G K -equivariant, and any map f can be factored as a composition of a surjective map and an injective map Now, assume that f is surjective, and choose a G K -stable lattice T in V as in Proposition 4.3.1 such that there is a G K -surjection T T. Set T := ker[ T T f T ] which is a G K -stable Z p -lattice in V. Then by Proposition 4.3.1, the T is also G K -stable in V, hence f is G K -equivariant. 4.4. Deducing Theorem 1.1 from Theorem 4.2. Let R,v cris denote the O-flat quotient of R,[0,1] cris such that for any finite Frac O-algebra, a crystalline -deformation ρ 21 Note that T 1 S (M) (1) = T E (M S O E ) is the usual contravariant version of the functor, which is more convenient here. 22 lthough p > 2 is assumed through the paper [Bre00], the statement and proof of Proposition 5.1.3 is valid even when p = 2.
