Ramification of surfaces: sufficient jet order for wild jumps

Let $C$ be a curve of genus $g\geqslant 2$ defined over the fraction field $K$ of a complete discrete valuation ring $R$ with algebraically closed residue field. Suppose that $\char(K)=0$ and that the characteristic of the residue field is not 2. Suppose that the Jacobian $\Jac(C)$ has semi-stable reduction over $R$. Embed $C$ in $\Jac(C)$ using a $K$-rational point. We show that the coordinates of the torsion points lying on $C$ lie in the unique moderately ramified quadra...

This is an introduction to author's ramification theory of a complete discrete valuation field with residue field whose p-basis consists of at most one element. New lower and upper filtrations are defined; cyclic extensions of degree p may have non-integer ramification breaks. A refinement of the filtration for two-dimensional local fields which is compatible with the reciprocity map is discussed.

Let $L$ be a complete discrete valuation field of prime characteristic $p$ with finite residue field. Denote by $\Gamma _{L}^{(v)}$ the ramification subgroups of $\Gamma _{L}=\operatorname{Gal}(L^{sep}/L)$. We consider the category $\operatorname{M\Gamma }_{L}^{Lie}$ of finite $\mathbb{Z}_p[\Gamma _{L}]$-modules $H$, satisfying some additional (Lie)-condition on the image of $\Gamma _L$ in $\operatorname{Aut}_{\mathbb{Z}_p}H$. In the paper it is proved that all information ab...

Given a nonconstant holomorphic map f: X -> Y between compact Riemann surfaces, one of the first objects we learn to construct is its ramification divisor R_f, which describes the locus at which f fails to be locally injective. The divisor R_f is a finite formal linear combination of points of X that is combinatorially constrained by the Hurwitz formula. Now let k be an algebraically closed field that is complete with respect to a nontrivial non-Archimedean absolute value. Fo...

The refined Swan conductor is defined by K.\ Kato \cite{KK2}, and generalized by T.\ Saito \cite{wild}. In this part, we consider some smooth $l$-adic \'{e}tale sheaves of rank $p$ such that we can be define the $rsw$ following T.\ Saito, on some smooth dense open subscheme $U$ of a smooth separated scheme X of finite type over a perfect fields $\kappa$ of characteristic $p>0$. We give an explicit expression of $rsw(\mathcal{F})$ in some situation. As a consequence, we show t...

Let E be the supersingular elliptic curve defined over k, the algebraic closure of the finite field with two elements, which is unique up to k-isomorphism. Denote by 0 its identity element and let C be the quotient of E-{0} under the action of the group Isom(E) (which is non-abelian, of order 24). The main result of this paper asserts that the set C(k) naturally parametrizes k-isomorphism classes of Lam\'e covers, which are tamely ramified covers of the projective line unrami...

Suppose $\phi$ is a wildly ramified cover of germs of curves defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p. We study unobstructed deformations of $\phi$ in equal characteristic, which are equiramified in that the branch locus is constant and the ramification filtration is fixed. We show that the moduli space $M_\phi$ parametrizing equiramified deformations of $\phi$ is a subscheme of an explicitly constructed scheme. This allows us to give an explicit upper a...

This article describes cubic function fields $L/K$ with prescribed ramification, where $K$ is a rational function field. We give general equations for such extensions, an explicit procedure to obtain a defining equation when the purely cubic closure $K'/K$ of $L/K$ is of genus zero, and a description of the twists of $L/K$ up to isomorphism over $K$. For cubic function fields of genus at most one, we also describe the twists and isomorphism classes obtained when one allows M\...

We study the asymptotic distribution of wildly ramified extensions of function fields in characteristic $p > 2$, focusing on (certain) $p$-groups of nilpotency class at most $2$. Rather than the discriminant, we count extensions according to an invariant describing the last jump in the ramification filtration at each place. We prove a local-global principle relating the distribution of extensions over global function fields to their distribution over local fields, leading to ...

We consider the class of complete discretely valued fields such that the residue field is of prime characteristic p and the cardinality of a $p$-base is 1. This class includes two-dimensional local and local-global fields. A new definition of ramification filtration for such fields is given. It appears that a Hasse-Herbrand type functions can be defined with all the usual properties. Therefore, a theory of upper ramification groups, as well as the ramification theory of infin...
