Achinger–Zdanowicz conjecture on Witt-vector liftings of Frobenius-split varieties
Let be a smooth projective variety defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic . Assume that is globally Frobenius-split and has trivial canonical class.
Achinger–Zdanowicz conjecture. There is a flat deformation of over the Witt vectors , not only over .
This conjecture concerns extending liftings of varieties with strong Frobenius-splitting properties from truncated Witt vectors to the full Witt vectors. It is known for surfaces and for finite étale quotients of Abelian varieties, while the general case remains open.
