Projectivity of the Witt vector affine Grassmannian (1507.06490v3)
Published 23 Jul 2015 in math.AG and math.NT
Abstract: We prove that the Witt vector affine Grassmannian, which parametrizes W(k)-lattices in W(k)[1/p]n for a perfect field k of charactristic p, is representable by an ind-(perfect scheme) over k. This improves on previous results of Zhu by constructing a natural ample line bundle. Along the way, we establish various foundational results on perfect schemes, notably h-descent results for vector bundles.
