Algebraic Geometry 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Let AA be a regular 2-dimensional local ring of characteristic p>0p>0, and let L/KL/K be a cyclic extension of degree pp of its field of fractions such that the corresponding branch divisor is normal crossing. For each \gp\SpecA\gp\in\Spec A of height 1 such that A/\gpA/\gp is regular, consider the ramification jump h\gph_\gp of the extension of the residue field at \gp\gp. In this paper the semi-continuity of h\gph_\gp with respect to Zariski topology of suitable jet spaces is proved. The asymptotic of h\gph_\gp with respect to intersection multiplicity of the prime divisor defined by \gp\gp and the branch divisor is also addressed.
