Essential dimension of infinitesimal unipotent group schemes

Abstract

We propose a generalization of Ledet conjecture, which predicts the essential dimension of cyclic pp-groups in characteristic pp, for finite commutative unipotent group schemes. And we show some evidence and some consequences of this new conjecture.
