In the following, we review the theory of Breuil module which is very useful to understand Nyggard filtration . We refer readers to [BLL23, §2] for more details. Let and be the -completion of . For any subring , set . Clearly, , (but it is not true that ). Extends Frobenius on to and by . Set (resp. ) by (resp. ). The Breuil module over (associated to ) is , which has following structures:

By the comparison of Kisin module and Breuil module, there exists a canonical isomorphism so that

The map induces the following short exact sequence
Proof.
The exactness of the sequence in (4) is equivalent to that , and this easily follows that construction of in (1). (3) easily follows from the construction of and . [GLS14, Lem. 4.3] proves that is finite -free and . To see that is finite free, consider the exact sequence
Since and are torsion free and hence finite free -modules, we conclude that is finite free -module. Since and is finite -free, is finite -free by NAK.
To prove (1), first note that and . Now given a , with , , by removing -term with , we may assume that . Therefore for sufficient large . Note that , by construction, we have . Therefore, is as required. ∎
Remark 2.2.
Indeed, . To show this, it suffices to show that the natural map is injective. By induction on and using exact sequence , this follows that .

Proof.
In this Lemma, we allow the base field to be finite ramified over . In such generality, is replaced by for a fixed uniformizer . We use the same idea in [GLS14, Prop. 4.6] and [Liu12, Prop. 2.13]. As the above, we fix a uniformizer with Eisenstein polynomial , a compatible system of -th roots with as well as a compatible system of -th roots of . Write and as elements in where is the -adic completion of . Embed and given by . Let , and . We may always assume that by selecting a suitable uniformizer (this is only needed for by [Wan22, Lem.2.1]). Let be a topological generator of . We will also use to denote a lifting of in when it is acting on an element fixed by .
Write the dual of . Then exists an -linear injection
so that is compatible with Frobenius on both sides and by using -action from that on via . Also induces the following commutative diagram
Here , , and the left vertical arrows are induced by , and all arrows here are injective. In particular, we may regard (resp. ) as submodule of (resp. ) via (resp. ). Note that the modules at the right columns have natural -actions. As submodules, the left columns are stable under these -actions. The -action on is explicitly given by the following formula (see formula (6.19) in [LL21]):

Consider as an -submodule of via . Then and . Since is flat over , we have as required.
As in the proof of [GLS14, Prop. 4.6] and [Liu12, Prop. 2.13], for any subring such that , let and . Now we claim that . To prove this claim, we first prove that
By a similar argument in [Liu08, (5.1.2)], with . For , we have by Griffith transversality and . Since , .

In the following, by discussion around [GLS14, Lemma 4.4], we can select -basis of so that forms a -basis of . Write . Then it is easy to check there exists two -bases and of so that , for . We can set .

We make induction on to prove the above proposition. The case of is trivial as we can take (note that ). Now assume that the statement holds for , consider the statement for . The case and makes a big difference. We divide these two situations into two different subsections. Set
2.3.1. The case .
First note in this case, . Also and thus . So .
For , we construct with undetermined so that . Since and are in and , to construct , it suffices to select so that . To simplify the notation, we write .
By Lemma 2.3, we have with . Note that , then . Since forms a basis of , we conclude that . Thus,
Since is in , it suffices to pick so that
By induction on the shape of , we can write
for some , which is a combination of and (note that is in by Lemma 2.3). Hence it suffices to show that the existence of so that
We prove this by back induction on . Let . Note that . By the calculation in the third paragraph of this subsection §2.3.1, we have with and . Using the induction on and note that
we have with and . Therefore, by setting (note that as ), we need to further solve new for

Now we claim that is generated by Write be -submodule of generated by . By the above construction, . So . By the construction , is another basis for . In particular, . Since , . But and . This forces that Together with that and that , we conclude that and . Finally, since both and are bases of , we may select an invertible matrix so that satisfies . Since , and we can set and as required.
2.3.2. The case
First let us consider the following commutative diagram:

Now let us discuss the structure of . Divide the set into three subsets , and in the following: ; ; Write , , and . Now we have
Lemma 2.5.
There exists an -basis of (as a submodule of via ) so that for any there exists a unique satisfying .
Proof.
Let and . It is easy to check that and is torsion free. Then we have an exact sequence:
Consider the natural map . For any , since , is an isomorphism, this forces is injective. Note that is killed by , we have . Write . Then we have the following commutative diagram
Consider modulo for the second row, we have where and is the image of . Pick a lift so that the image of forms a -basis of . By Nakayama’s lemma, we easily check that forms an -basis of . Now just reindex to and the is required basis of . ∎
Let so that and set . For each , set . Since by the above lemma, . It is clear that .
Now we define if ; if and if ; Define for . For , choose a lift so that .
Now we need to check that satisfies the requirement of Proposition 2.4 to complete the induction. First note that is the set of indices for . So we have , which forms a basis of
Next we check that satisfies the requirement in Equation (4). If then and this follows the induction on and that is -linear combination of . Note that is also -linear combination of and . So for and for still satisfy the requirement in Equation (4).
Finally, we check that is an -basis of . First, it is clear that by construction. Set be the -submodule of generated by . Since forms a basis of , by using the same argument in the end of §2.3.1, it suffices to show that . Equivalently, we have to show that and are in . From our construction, this is clear for if , if and if . For , since . Then For , note that , we have . Thus it is easy to check that has an -basis . Hence is a linear combination of and hence in , as required.
2.4. The proof of Theorem 1.1
2.4.1. The case .
In the last paragraph of §2.3.1, we see that if then is generated by and for . Thus and .
2.4.2. The case .
Note that but . We can select an invertible matrix so that if we replace by then is a basis of . As in §2.3.1, For , we construct with undetermined so that . Since and are in and is a basis for , to construct , it suffices to select so that . Note that all arguments in §2.3.1 go through because the key assumption still holds here as . Therefore, we construct for . Therefore, contains for . Let be the finite free -submodule generated by for . Then is finite free -module with basis . Together with the fact that , we have . This forces that . Thus has no -torsion as required.
