Some elementary examples of non-liftable schemes

Algebraic Geometry 2016-06-14 v1

Abstract

We present some simple examples of smooth projective varieties in positive characteristic, arising from linear algebra, which do not admit a lifting neither to characteristic zero, nor to the ring of second Witt vectors. Our first construction is the blow-up of the graph of the Frobenius morphism of a homogeneous space. The second example is a blow-up of P3\mathbb{P}^3 in a 'purely characteristic-pp' configuration of points and lines.
