Let $A$ be a ring and $G$ be an affine commutative FPPF group scheme over $A$. Can we embed $G$ into a smooth group scheme over $A$?

  • $\begingroup$ One positive result: Let $N$ be a finite flat group scheme over a noetherian scheme $S$. Locally for the Zariski topology on $S$, there exists a projective abelian scheme $A$ and an embedding of $N$ into $A$. Raynaud 1979. $\endgroup$
