We generalize Illusie’s
result to prove the decomposition of the de Rham complex with smooth
horizontal coefficients for a semistable S-morphism f : X → Y which is liftable
over ℤ∕p2ℤ. As an application, we prove the Kollár vanishing theorem in
positive characteristic for a semistable S-morphism f : X → Y which is
liftable over ℤ∕p2ℤ, where all concerned horizontal divisors are smooth over
Y .
