Characterization of 2-ramified power series

Number Theory 2017-04-21 v4

Abstract

In this paper we study lower ramification numbers of power series tangent to the identity that are defined over fields of positive characteristics pp. Let gg be such a series, then gg has a fixed point at the origin and the corresponding lower ramification numbers of gg are then, up to a constant, the degree of the first non-linear term of pp-power iterates of gg. The result is a complete characterization of power series gg having ramification numbers of the form 2(1+p++pn){2(1+p+\dots+p^n)}. Furthermore, in proving said characterization we explicitly compute the first significant terms of gg at its ppth iterate.
