GRH and finite flat group schemes over Z
Rene Schoof, Department of Mathematics, University of Rome,

A commutative finite flat group scheme G over Z is killed by a prime number p and hence its order is a power of p. Tate asked whether a simple group scheme is necessarily isomorphic to Z/pZ or μp. This has been proved for primes p \le 19. Under assumption of the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis we extend this result to primes $ p \le 37$.

This is joint work with Lassina Dembele.
