Feb 1, 2019 at 1:48 comment added F Zaldivar You are right. I think I can see that that the étale condition gives covering data, but I don't see how to define the cocycle condition to get descent data in a non faithfully flat situation.
Feb 1, 2019 at 1:44 comment added user30211 I thought about this for a while, but I think $\mathbb{Q} / \mathbb{Z}$ is not faithfully flat, which can be seen from the fact that $\mathbb{Z} / n \mathbb{Z}$ collapses. Something close may be the case though. I will look into the reference you provided, thanks very much.
Feb 1, 2019 at 1:09 comment added F Zaldivar I think all these is in Waterhouse "Affine Group Schemes" (Springer) and it seems to me that the descent data that generalizes Galois descent in you case is faithfully flat descent.

Feb 1, 2019 at 0:04 comment added user30211 Sorry, you're right. I forgot those have the right rank.
Jan 31, 2019 at 23:59 comment added Alison Miller "the number rings O_K are precisely the finite Z-algebras such that O_K⊗Z Q_sep splits into the product of rank_Z(O_K) many Q_sep's. " I don't think this is right: the property you've stated also holds for any order in a number field (or more generally any order in an etale Q-algebra) since it only depends on O_K ⊗Z Q.
