Abstract
Let be the spectrum of a complete discrete valuation ring with fraction field of characteristic 0 and perfect residue field of characteristic . Let be a truncated Barsotti-Tate group of level 1 over . If `` is not too supersingular'', a condition that will be explicitly expressed in terms of the valuation of a certain determinant, we prove that we can canonically lift the kernel of the Frobenius endomorphism of its special fibre to a subgroup scheme of , finite and flat over . We call it the canonical subgroup of .
