Despite the progress made in the recent years, the list open problems in
characteristic p algebraic arithmetic geometry remains extensive. One of the strategies
that has proven to be succesful, initially proposed by J. P. Serre in his Mexico paper,
is the technique of lifting to characteristic 0: problems like the Galois module structure
of (poly)differentials and Green’s syzygy conjecture are well understood in characteristic
0 but remain open in characteristic p. The above problems share a second interesting
property: they involve the canonical sheaf Ω, which appears prominently in the classical
theorem of M. Noether, F. Enriques and K. Petri. In this talk, following a review of the
theory of lifting curves with automorphisms and the Noether-Enriques-Petri theorem, we
will present joint work with H. Charalambous and A. Kontogeorgis, in which we study
the relative canonical embedding of the flat family of curves obtained from lifting an
Artin-Schreier curve to a Kummer curve. Combining elements of Gröbner theory with
deformation-theoretic arguments we will give an explicit set of generators for the relative
canonical ideal, obtaining in the process a relative version of Petri’s theorem.
