Jun 18, 2021 at 23:01 comment added LSpice @Rachmaninow98, since you said that this answer was exactly what you were looking for, it would be a good idea to accept it.
Mar 31, 2021 at 6:15 comment added ali of course that is true.
Mar 30, 2021 at 23:02 comment added user267839 alright now, thank you again. little nitpick, when you consider the thickering as above I think you mean the map in other direction than that one you wrote, ie tho canonical projection $\mathbb{Z}_p/P^n \to F_p$ not $F_p\to \mathbb{Z}_p/P^n$?

Mar 30, 2021 at 6:09 comment added ali no there is no relation other than that often Witt vector is complete for p-adic topology. completeness is the important thing. the relation between $F(\bar{A})$ and $f(A/m)$ is true for all ring not only henselian ring I think a good start to read about deformation theory is part 3 of the book FGA explained, there is also the stack project and illusie thesis which are more technical.
Mar 29, 2021 at 20:09 comment added user267839 and finally: could you recommend a book/script on defo theory where this relation of $F(\overline{A}) $ and $F(A/m)$ for Henselian $A$ is discussed in detail?
Mar 29, 2021 at 20:05 comment added user267839 so in general there is no direct connection between formal smoothness and the concept of Witt vectors?

Mar 29, 2021 at 20:01 comment added ali for your second question I Just mean all the power series that satisfy a polynomial equation over $\mathbb{C}$ which is as I said the Henselisation of $(C[X],X)$
Mar 29, 2021 at 19:59 comment added ali @Rachmaninow98 about your first question no I really meant $Z_p/p^n$ I just use witt vector as the force of habit. if you have a complete local ring $A$ with residue field $k$ then of course you should use $A/m^n$ not $W_n(k)$.
Mar 29, 2021 at 19:58 comment added user267839 Secondly: what do you mean by $\mathbb C[[x]]^{alg}$? I know this notation only for fields.
Mar 29, 2021 at 19:58 comment added user267839 Thank you for your answer. This one is exactly was looking for! Two questions on your notations: In your first part you wrote $ F_p \to W_n(F_p)$ where as I know $W_n$ means the Witt ring wrt $F_p$, an in this case that's $\mathbb{Z}_p$. Was the choice of Witt-notation intended to indicate in which direction the notion of formal smoothness generalizes the usual Henselian property in your example with curve $C= V(f)$ to $A \to W_n(A)$ where $A$ is is an arbitrary ring?
