Lifts of endomorphisms of Weyl algebras modulo $p^2$
Abstract
Let $\varphi$ denote a $k$-algebra endomorphism of the $n$-th Weyl algebra $A_n(k)$ over a perfect field $k$ of positive characteristic $p$. We prove that $\varphi$ can be lifted to an endomorphism of the Weyl algebra $A_n(W_2(k))$ over the Witt vectors $W_2(k)$ of length two over $k$ if and only if $\varphi$ induces a Poisson morphism of the center of $A_n(k)$. Furthermore, we improve a result of Tsuchimoto, which enables us to conclude that these equivalent statements hold at least when ${\rm deg}(\varphi) < p$. In particular, we conclude that $\varphi$ is injective if ${\rm deg}(\varphi) < p$.
