Abstract

Let FF be a local non-Archimedean field with ring of integers oo. Let X\bf X be a one-dimensional formal oo-module of FF-height nn over the algebraic closure of the residue field of oo. By the work of Drinfeld, the universal deformation XX of X\bf X is a formal group over a power series ring R0R_0 in n1n-1 variables over the completion of the maximal unramified extension of oo. For h{0,...,n1}h \in \{0,...,n-1\} let UhU_h be the subscheme of \Spec(R0)\Spec(R_0) where the connected part of the associated divisible module of XX has height hh. Using the theory of Drinfeld level structures we show that the representation of the fundamental group of UhU_h on the Tate module of the etale quotient is surjective.
