Let p be a prime number and k a perfect field of characteristic p. In the present paper, we study deformations of finite flat commutative group schemes over k to the ring W of Witt vectors with coefficients in k. We prove that, for a given principally quasi-polarizable p-torsion finite flat commutative group scheme over k, it holds that the group scheme is pseudo-rigid — i.e., roughly speaking, has a unique, up to isomorphism over W, deformation to W — if and only if the group scheme is superspecial.
