Dieudonné theory for $n$-smooth group schemes

Abstract: Dieudonné theory is the study of families of group schemes via linear-algebraic data.  In this talk, I will begin by recalling some motivation for Dieudonné theory, with examples.  Then I will explain some new classification and smoothness results for certain close relatives of $p$-divisible groups known as $n$-smooth groups, which affirmatively answer conjectures of Drinfeld. This is joint work with Joshua Mundinger.
