For smooth projective varieties Formula: see text and Formula: see text over a perfect field Formula: see text of positive characteristic Formula: see text so that Formula: see text and Formula: see text are derived equivalent, and admitting a closed embedding into Formula: see text, we assume that Formula: see text. We prove that if Formula: see text is ordinary (resp., Hodge-Witt), then Formula: see text is ordinary (resp., Hodge-Witt).
