Spahn the p-divisible group A(p)

Recall that a p-divisible group? GG has the defining properties that pid G:GGp \,id_G:G\to G is an epimorphism with finite kernel satisfying G= jkerp jid GG=\cup_j ker\, p^j \, id_G.

Now let AA be any commutative algebraic kk-group such that pid A:AAp\, id_A:A\to A is an epimorphism. Then

A(p):= jkerp jid AA(p):=\cup_j ker \,p^j \,id_A

is a pp-divisible group.
