The category of finite locally-free commutative group schemes

I'm trying to understand the properties of the category $\mathcal{FL}/S$ of finite locally-free commutative group schemes over an arbitrary base-scheme $S$. I know it is not in general an abelian ...

Orbits of group scheme action

I am interested in orbits of the action of a group scheme on a scheme and I'm particularly interested in the following special case: Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field, let $G$ be an affine ...

Can we classify reductive group schemes over curves

Let $C$ be a smooth quasi-projective connected curve over the complex numbers. Can one classify all reductive group schemes over $C$? Certainly, you have the trivial ones (coming from pulling-back ...

Tannaka categories and reductive groups

The group associated to a Tannaka category $T$ over a field is pro-reductive if and only if $T$ is semi-simple. Pro-reductive groups make sense over any scheme. Is there an extension of the theory ...

Chevalley devissage

Let $G$ be an algebraic group over a perfect field $k$. Then it is know that it can be written as an extension of an affine algebraic group and a proper algebraic group. Is there a similar result for ...

A schematic representability of an algebraic space with group action

In the book "Néron Models" (BLR), there is a statement as follows (on page 164): Let $S$ be a locally noetherian scheme and let $G$ be a smooth algebraic group space over $S$ with connected ...

Discriminant ideal in a member of Barsotti-Tate Group

Let $S = \operatorname{Spec} R$ an affine scheme (in our case latter a complete dvr) and $p$ a prime. Then Barsotti-Tate group or $p$-divisible group $G$ of height $h$ over $S$ is an inductive system ...

Induced action on infinitesimal thickenings by an algebraic group

Let $X$ be an irreducible locally noetherian $k$-scheme (for $k$ any field), $G$ an algebraic group acting on $X$ via $a:G \times X \to X$ and $x \in X$ a closed point, which is by Zariski's lemma ...
