We prove an A'Campo type formula for the tame monodromy zeta function of a smooth and proper variety over a discretely valued field $K$. As a first application, we relate the orders of the tame monodromy eigenvalues on the $\ell$-adic…

Let K be the function field of a connected regular scheme S of dimension 1, and let f : X -> Y be a finite cover of projective smooth and geometrically connected curves over K with g(X) greater or equal to 2. Suppose that f can be extended…

Let $K$ be a complete discretely valued field. An extension $L/K$ is "weakly totally ramified" if the residue extension is purely inseparable. We sharpen a result of Ax by showing that any Galois-invariant disk in the algebraic closure of…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve over a complete discretely valued field $K$. Let $L/K$ be the minimal extension such that $X \times_K L$ has a semi-stable model, and write $e(L/K)$ for the ramification index of $L/K$. Let $e(X)$ be the…

The Stable Reduction Theorem guarantees that any smooth, projective, geometrically irreducible curve of genus $g \geq 2$ over a discretely valued field admits a unique stable model after a finite field extension. Computing this model is a…

The geometric condition of T. Saito for trivial action of the wild monodromy of a smooth proper curve over the generic point of a trait is transformed to the condition of logarithmic smooth reduction. The proof emphasizes methods and…

T. Saito established a ramification theory for ring extensions locally of complete intersection. We show that for a Henselian valuation ring $A$ with field of fractions $K$ and for a finite Galois extension $L$ of $K$, the integral closure…

A finite \'etale map between irreducible, normal varieties is called tame, if it is tamely ramified with respect to all partial compactifications whose boundary is the support of a strict normal crossings divisor. We prove that if the…

Let $K$ be a complete discretely valued field with algebraically closed residue field and let $\mathfrak C$ be a smooth projective and geometrically connected algebraic $K$-curve of genus $g$. Assume that $g\geq 2$, so that there exists a…

In this paper we study the reduction of $p$-cyclic covers of the $p$-adic line ramified at exactly four points. For $p=2$ these covers are elliptic curves and Deuring has given a criterion for when such a curve has good reduction. Here we…

For a smooth surface X over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic, we consider the ramification of an Artin-Schreier extension of X. A ramification at a point of codimension 1 of X is understood by the Swan conductor. A…

Let $K$ be the quotient field of a discrete valuation ring $R$ with residue characteristic $\not=2$, and let $C$ be a hyperelliptic curve over $K$. We assume that all geometric branch points of the double covering…

We give a new proof of the Semistable Reduction Theorem for curves. The main idea is to present a curve $Y$ over a local field $K$ as a finite cover of the projective line $X=\PP^1_K$. By successive blowups (and after replacing $K$ by a…

Let $f:C\rightarrow D$ be a nonconstant separable morphism between irreducible smooth projective curves defined over an algebraically closed field. We say that $f$ is genuinely ramified if ${\mathcal O}_D$ is the maximal semistable…

We consider slope stability of the canonical extension of the tangent bundle by the trivial line bundle and with the extension class c_1(T_X) on Picard-rank-1 Fano varieties. In cases where the index divides the dimension or the dimension…

Let $f : X \rightarrow Y$ be a genuinely ramified map between irreducible smooth projective curves defined over an algebraically closed field. Let $P$ be a branch data on $Y$ such that $P(y)$ and $B_f(y)$ where $B_f$ is branch data for $f$…

For a constructible \'etale sheaf on a smooth variety of positive characteristic ramified along an effective divisor, the largest slope in Abbes and Saito's ramification theory of the sheaf gives a divisor with rational coefficients called…

In this paper we prove an explicit formula which compares the dimensions of the spaces of vanishing cycles in a Galois cover of degree p between formal germ of curves over a complete discrete valuation ring of inequal characteristics (0,p).…
