On the refined ramification filtrations in the equal characteristic case

Liang Xiao

Vol. 6 (2012), No. 8, 1579–1667
Abstract

Let k be a complete discrete valuation field of equal characteristic p > 0. Using the tools of p-adic differential modules, we define refined Artin and Swan conductors for a representation of the absolute Galois group Gk with finite local monodromy; this leads to a description of the subquotients of the ramification filtration on Gk. We prove that our definition of the refined Swan conductors coincides with that given by Saito, which uses étale cohomology. We also study its relation with the toroidal variation of Swan conductors.
