May 11, 2012 at 4:05 comment added Chandan Singh Dalawat Dear Matt, you have become so much of a $p$-adician that you think of $\mathbf{Z}/p^2$ as $\mathbf{Z}_p/p^2$.
May 11, 2012 at 3:55 comment added Emerton Dear Jakob, There is a celebrated paper of Deligne and Illusie (easily found on MathSciNet) which discusses obstructions to lifting from $\mathbb F_p$ to $\mathbb Z_p/p^2$. Regards,

May 8, 2012 at 13:01 comment added Jason Starr Here is a modified question which comes up from time to time, and which is open to the best of my knowledge. Trivially a smooth projective variety lifts over the Witt vectors if you allow yourself to remove a sufficiently ample Cartier divisor, or equivalently, if you allow yourself to modify your original projective scheme to a new projective scheme (which agrees with the original scheme on a nonempty open). Is the same true for modifications in codimension 2?
