Abstract

Let WW be the ring of the Witt vectors of a perfect field of characteristic pp, X\mathfrak{X} a smooth formal scheme over WW, X\mathfrak{X}' the base change of X\mathfrak{X} by the Frobenius morphism of WW, X2\mathfrak{X}_{2}' the reduction modulo p2p^{2} of X\mathfrak{X}' and XX the special fiber of X\mathfrak{X}. We lift the Cartier transform of Ogus-Vologodsky defined by X2\mathfrak{X}_{2}' modulo pnp^{n}. More precisely, we construct a functor from the category of pnp^{n}-torsion OX\mathscr{O}_{\mathfrak{X}'}-modules with integrable pp-connection to the category of pnp^{n}-torsion OX\mathscr{O}_{\mathfrak{X}}-modules with integrable connection, each subject to suitable nilpotence conditions. Our construction is based on Oyama's reformulation of the Cartier transform of Ogus-Vologodsky in characteristic pp. If there exists a lifting F:XXF:\mathfrak{X}\to \mathfrak{X}' of the relative Frobenius morphism of XX, our functor is compatible with a functor constructed by Shiho from FF. As an application, we give a new interpretation of Faltings' relative Fontaine modules and of the computation of their cohomology.
