INTRODUCTION The concept of Barsotti-Tate group w a s introduced in [I] w h e r e the name
equidimensional h y p e r d o m a i n w a s used (actually for an equivalent
concept) and in [30] w h e r e the n a m e p-divisible group w a s used.
Following
Grothendieck, w e prefer the t e r m Barsotti-Tate group because the concept of "p-divisible group" has a m e a n i n g for anyabelian group object in an arbitrary category and does not indicate any relation with algebraic geometry, Barsotti-Tate groups arise in "nature" w h e n one considers the sequence of kernels of multiplication by successive p o w e r s of p on an abelian variety.
Also, as Orothendieck has observed, there are Barsotti-
Tare groups which are naturally associated with the crystalline cohomology of a proper s m o o t h s c h e m e which is defined over a perfect field of characteristic
p.
Since w e do not discuss crystalline cohomology no further
mention is m a d e of this example. Returning to the situation w h e r e
A

(perfect) field of characteristic p, let A(n) plicationby group.
