Kato's conductor and generic residual perfection

Number Theory 2007-05-23 v2 Algebraic Geometry

Abstract

Let A be a complete discrete valuation ring with possibly imperfect residue field, and let χ\chi be a one-dimensional Galois representation over A. I show that the non-logarithmic variant of Kato's Swan conductor is the same for χ\chi and the pullback of χ\chi to the generic residual perfection of A. This implies the conductor from "Conductors and the moduli of residual perfection" (math.NT/0112305) extends the non-logarithmic variant of Kato's.
