Abstract

Let GG be a pp-divisible group over a complete discrete valuation ring RR of characteristic pp. The generic fiber of GG determines a Galois representation ρ\rho. The image of ρ\rho admits a ramification filtration and a Lie filtration. We relate these filtrations in the case GG is one dimensional, giving an equicharacteristic version of Sen's theorem in this setting. This result generalizes a result of Gross. Additionally, we prove that the representation associated to the \'etale part of GG is irreducible, generalizing a result of Chai.
