Let X be a smooth proper curve over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p. The purpose of this paper is to extend "Poincar6 duality" on X to p-torsion groups, by allowing as coefficients any finite flat group scheme A on X. Let A D= Homgrp(A, I13,,) denote the Cartier dual of A. Our result (4.9) is that the natural pairing A | Po~ gives rise to a perfect duality on cohomology. A new phenomenon which arises when one considers flat coefficients is that their cohomology groups are not, in general, discrete groups. For example, if X is a supersingular elliptic curve, then Hi(X, c~p),~Hl(X, Ox). This is a k-vector space, and its natural algebraic structure should be taken into account. There are two different contexts in which the duality can be formulated. The first follows a suggestion of Grothendieck that the cohomology theory should take its values in the category of unipotent quasi-algebraic groups. Our original construction was made in this context. Let U k denote the category of commutative unipotent algebraic groups over k, and let QU k be the corresponding category of quasi-algebraic groups [17]. This is the quotient of the abelian category U k by its subcategory of infinitesimal groups. There is a functor
