We will introduce the notion of slope filtration through examples, including the Harder-Narasimhan filtration on finite flat group schemes due to Fargues. We will then introduce Kisin modules, a certain generalization of finite flat group schemes, and describe a slope filtration on Kisin modules. This is joint work with Brandon Levin.
