May 17, 2012 at 13:51 comment added Joël I fail to see how this answers the title question. the ring of integers is not the ring of $p$-adic integers.

May 11, 2012 at 2:59 comment added Chandan Singh Dalawat The theorem of Fontaine (and Abrashkin) says that for $n>0$, there is no abelian scheme of dimension $n$ over $\mathrm{Spec}(\mathbf{Z})$. The case $n=1$ (elliptic curves) was known earlier and is due to Tate, I believe.
