For every smooth proper morphism $X\\to S$ satisfying certain conditions the de Rham bundles $H^n_{{\\rm dR}}(X/S)$ have a natural structure of an $F$-zip. We give a complete classification of $F$-zips over an algebraically closed field by studying a semi-linear variant of a variety that appears in recent work of Lusztig. For every $F$-zip over $S$ our methods give a scheme-theoretic stratification of $S$. If the $F$-zip is associated to an abelian scheme over $S$ the underlying topological stratification is the Ekedahl-Oort stratification. We conclude the paper with a discussion of several examples such as good reductions of Shimura varieties of PEL type and K3-surfaces.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2004-04-16T13:43:11.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14J10", "14F40", "14J28", "11G18", "14K10", "20G40" ], "keywords": [ "discrete invariants", "positive characteristic", "smooth proper morphism", "vector bundle", "semi-linear isomorphisms" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 35, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2003math......6339M" } } }
