Abstract
Let p be a prime number and let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p. A BT1 group scheme over k is a finite commutative group scheme which arises as the kernel of p on a p-divisible (Barsotti--Tate) group. We compare three classifications of BT1 group schemes, due in large part to Kraft, Ekedahl, and Oort, and defined using words, canonical filtrations, and permutations. Using this comparison, we determine the Ekedahl--Oort types of Fermat quotient curves and we compute four invariants of the p-torsion group schemes of these curves.
