P-curvature


In algebraic geometry, p-curvature is an invariant of a connection on a coherent sheaf for schemes of characteristic p > 0. It is a construction similar to a usual curvature, but only exists in finite characteristic.

Suppose X/S is a smooth morphism of schemes of finite characteristic p > 0, E a vector bundle on X, and a connection on E. The p-curvature of is a map defined by
