Wild Ramification and Restrictions to Curves

Algebraic Geometry 2016-12-08 v2

Abstract

We prove that wild ramification of a constructible sheaf on a surface is determined by that of the restrictions to all curves. We deduce from this result that the Euler-Poincar\'e characteristic of a constructible sheaf on a variety of arbitrary dimension over an algebraically closed field is determined by wild ramification of the restrictions to all curves. We similarly deduce from it that so is the alternating sum of the Swan conductors of the cohomology groups, for a constructible sheaf on a variety over a local field.
