$G$-displays of Hodge type and formal $p$-divisible groups

Abstract

Let $G$ be a reductive group scheme over the $p$-adic integers, and let $\mu$ be a minuscule cocharacter for $G$. In the Hodge-type case, we construct a functor from nilpotent $(G,\mu )$-displays over $p$-nilpotent rings $R$ to formal $p$-divisible groups over $R$ equipped with crystalline Tate tensors. When $R/pR$ has a $p$-basis étale locally, we show that this defines an equivalence between the two categories. The definition of the functor relies on the construction of a $G$-crystal associated with any adjoint nilpotent $(G,\mu )$-display, which extends the construction of the Dieudonné crystal associated with a nilpotent Zink display. As an application, we obtain an explicit comparison between the Rapoport-Zink functors of Hodge type defined by Kim and by Bültel and Pappas.
