Deformations of ordinary Calabi-Yau varieties

Over the complex numbers, the Bomolgorov-Tian-Todorev theorem asserts that Calabi-Yau varieties have unobstructed deformations, so any n^{th} order deformation extends to higher order.  We prove an analogue of this statement for the nicest kind of Calabi-Yau varieties in characteristic p, namely ordinary ones, using derived algebraic geometry. In fact, we produce canonical lifts to characteristic zero, thereby generalising results of Serre-Tate, Deligne-Nygaard, Ward, and Achinger-Zdanowic. This is joint work with Taelman.
