Abstract

We previously obtained a generalization and refinement of results about the ramification theory of Artin-Schreier extensions of discretely valued fields in characteristic pp with perfect residue fields to the case of fields with more general valuations and residue fields. As seen in VT16, the "defect" case gives rise to many interesting complications. In this paper, we present analogous results for degree pp extensions of arbitrary valuation rings in mixed characteristic (0,p)(0,p) in a more general setting. More specifically, the only assumption here is that the base field KK is henselian. In particular, these results are true for defect extensions even if the rank of the valuation is greater than 11. A similar method also works in equal characteristic, generalizing the results of VT16.
