We prove a purely local form of a result of Saito and Yatagawa. They proved that the characteristic cycle of a constructible \'etale sheaf is determined by wild ramification of the sheaf along the boundary of a compactification. But they…

We define generalizations of classical invariants of wild ramification for coverings on a variety of arbitrary dimension over a local field. For an l-adic sheaf, we define its Swan class as a 0-cycle class supported on the wild ramification…

We define the characteristic cycle of a locally constant \'etale sheaf on a smooth variety in positive characteristic ramified along boundary as a cycle in the cotangent bundle of the variety, at least on a neighborhood of the generic point…

We propose a geometric method to measure the wild ramification of a smooth etale sheaf along the boundary. Using the method, we study the graded quotients of the logarithmic ramification groups of a local field of positive characteristic…

Constructible complexes have the same characteristic cycle if they have the same wild ramification, even if the characteristics of the coefficients fields are different.

In this article, we give a bound for the wild ramification of the monodromy action on the nearby cycles complex of a locally constant \'etale sheaf on the generic fiber of a smooth scheme over an equal characteristic trait in terms of Abbes…

In this article, we prove that the Swan conductor of an \'etale sheaf on a smooth variety defined by Abbes and Saito's logarithmic ramification theory can be computed by its classical Swan conductors after restricting it to curves. It…

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…

We develop a new approach to construction of numerical invariants for ramified coverings of algebraic surfaces of prime characteristic. Let A be a two-dimensional regular local ring of prime characteristic p with algebraically closed…

For an $\ell$-adic sheaf on a variety of arbitrary dimension over a perfect field, we define the Swan class measuring the wild ramification as a 0-cycle class supported on the ramification locus. We prove a Lefschetz trace formula for open…

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…

This paper gives an explicit computation of the category of constructible sheaves on a toric variety (with respect to the stratification by torus orbits). Over the complex numbers, this simplifies a description due to Braden and Lunts. The…

In this paper, we give a simple description of the deformations of a map between two smooth curves with partially prescribed branching, in the cases that both curves are fixed, and that the source is allowed to vary. Both descriptions work…

We show that certain ramification invariants associated to a compatible system of $\ell$-adic sheaves on a curve are independent of $\ell$.

Over a connected geometrically unibranch scheme $X$ of finite type over a finite field, we show finiteness of the number of irreducible $\bar \Q_\ell$-lisse sheaves, with bounded rank and bounded ramification in the sense of Drinfeld, up to…

This paper examines the relationship between the automorphism group of a hyperelliptic curve defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic two and the 2-rank of the curve. In particular, we exploit the wild ramification to…

Let $K$ be a complete discrete valuation field whose residue field is perfect and of positive characteristic, let $X$ be a connected, proper scheme over $\mathcal{O}_K$, and let $U$ be the complement in $X$ of a divisor with simple normal…

We prove that $\bar {\mathbb Q}_\ell$-local systems of bounded rank and ramification on a smooth variety $X$ defined over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p\neq \ell$ are tamified outside of codimension $2$ by a finite…

We compute (algebraically) the Euler characteristic of a complex of sheaves with constructible cohomology. A stratified Poincar\'e-Hopf formula is then a consequence of the smooth Poincar\'e-Hopf theorem and of additivity of the…

"Most" hypersurfaces in projective space are irreducible, and rather precise estimates are known for the probability that a random hypersurface over a finite field is reducible. This paper considers the parametrization of space curves by…
