Surjectivity conjecture for primitive elements of additive-type group schemes

At least 10 years old · documented by

Let AA be the base ring, let qq be a power of the characteristic prime pp, and let G∈Fq-Gr⁡A+G\in\mathbb{F}_{q}\text{-}\operatorname{Gr}^{+}_{A}. Suppose that there is a closed embedding

G↪GaNG\hookrightarrow\mathbb{G}_a^N

for some N∈NN\in\mathbb{N}. The functor Mp\mathcal{M}_p assigns to such a group scheme its module of primitive elements of the relevant Fp\mathbb{F}_p-weight, and A[F]A[F] denotes the corresponding skew polynomial ring. Surjectivity conjecture. The induced morphism

Mp(GaN)=A[F]N⟶Mp(G)\mathcal{M}_p(\mathbb{G}_a^N)=A[F]^N\longrightarrow\mathcal{M}_p(G)

is surjective.

This is posed as an open question needed for the analogue of the main equivalence theorem for group schemes locally of finite presentation. It concerns finite generation of the primitive-element module under an additive embedding.
