| Sep 6 at 20:58 | comment | converted from answer | Robert Paster | Big Witt vectors are interesting and useful because they don’t require every element to have a value from the set {0,1,…,p-1}. Allowing wide variation in values of elements permits richer applications. | |

| Jan 5, 2016 at 6:30 | comment | added | Douglas Lind | I once attended a lecture in Bonn by Faltings on Witt vectors. Since the motivation for them wasn't clear, at the end of the lecture, like an idiot, I raised my hand and asked "Where to Witt vectors come from?". His response was "From a paper of Witt". | |
