Refined ramification breaks in characteristic $p$

Number Theory 2019-01-01 v1

Abstract

Let KK be a local field of characteristic pp and let L/KL/K be a totally ramified elementary abelian pp-extension with a single ramification break bb. Byott and Elder defined the refined ramification breaks of L/KL/K, an extension of the usual ramification data. In this paper we give an alternative definition for the refined ramification breaks, and we use Artin-Schreier theory to compute both versions of the breaks in some special cases.
