Abstract
We are investigating the lifting problem for local actions involving semidirect products of a cyclic -group with a cyclic group prime to , where represents the characteristic of the special fiber. We establish a criterion based on the Harbater-Katz-Gabber compactification of local actions, enabling us to determine whether a given local action can be lifted or not. Specifically, in the case of the dihedral group, we present an example of a local dihedral action that cannot be lifted. This instance provides a more potent obstruction than the KGB obstruction.
