In this paper, which is the natural continuation and generalization of Fesenko's non-abelian reciprocity map, we extend the theory of Fesenko to infinite $APF$-Galois extensions $L$ over a local field $K$, with finite residue-class field…

Given a field K, one may ask which finite groups are Galois groups of field extensions L/K such that L is a maximal subfield of a division algebra with center K. This connection between inverse Galois theory and division algebras was first…

The refined Swan conductor is defined by K.\ Kato \cite{KK2}, and generalized by T.\ Saito \cite{wild}. In this part, we consider some smooth $l$-adic \'{e}tale sheaves of rank $p$ such that we can be define the $rsw$ following T.\ Saito,…

Local fields, and fields complete with respect to a discrete valuation, are essential objects in commutative algebra, with applications to number theory and algebraic geometry. We formalize in Lean the basic theory of discretely valued…

Given a Galois cover of curves over $\mathbb{F}_p$, we relate the $p$-adic valuation of epsilon constants appearing in functional equations of Artin L-functions to an equivariant Euler characteristic. Our main theorem generalises a result…

Let $R$ be a discrete valuation ring, and $K$ its fraction field. In 1967, Raynaud initiated the notion of maximal $R$-model for torsors over $K$, and it was further developed by Lewin-M\'en\'egaux. In this paper, motivated by a conjectural…

Given a valuation $v$ with quotient field $K$ and a sequence $\mathcal{K} :K_0\subseteq K_1\subseteq\cdots$ of finite extensions of $K$, we construct a weighted tree $\mathcal{T}(v,\mathcal{K})$ encoding information about the ramification…

This paper studies "pro-excision" for the K-theory of one-dimensional (usually semi-local) rings and its various applications. In particular, we prove Geller's conjecture for equal characteristic rings over a perfect field of finite…

Cyclic, ramified extensions $L/K$ of degree $p$ of local fields with residue characteristic $p$ are fairly well understood. Unless $\mbox{char}(K)=0$ and $L=K(\sqrt[p]{\pi_K})$ for some prime element $\pi_K\in K$, they are defined by an…

This is mainly a small exposition on extensions of valuation rings

We compute the higher ramification groups and the Artin conductors of radical extensions of the rationals. As an application, we give formulas for their discriminant (using the conductor-discriminant formula). The interest in such number…

We show that a valuation ring containing its residue field of characteristic $p>0$ is a filtered direct limit of complete intersection ${\bf F}_p$-algebras.

This paper gives an elementary proof of an improved version of the algebraic Local B\'ezout Theorem (given by the authors in JSC 45 (2010) 975--985). Here we remove some ad hoc hypotheses and obtain an optimal algebraic version of the…

We explore an analogy between, on one hand, the notions of integral closure of ideals and Rees valuations in commutative algebra and, on the other hand, the notions of spectral seminorm and Shilov boundary in nonarchimedean geometry. For…

A henselian valued field $K$ is called a tame field if its algebraic closure $\tilde{K}$ is a tame extension, that is, the ramification field of the normal extension $\tilde{K}|K$ is algebraically closed. Every algebraically maximal…

We conjecture that a $p$-algebra over a complete discrete valued field $K$ contains a totally ramified purely inseparable subfield if and only if it contains a totally ramified cyclic maximal subfield. We prove the conjecture in several…

Let $K$ be an absolutely unramified $p$-adic field. We establish a ramification bound, depending only on the given prime $p$ and an integer $i$, for mod $p$ Galois representations associated with Wach modules of height at most $i$. Using an…

Let K be a complete discretely valued field of mixed characteristic (0, p) with possibly imperfect residue field. We prove a Hasse-Arf theorem for the arithmetic ramification filtrations on G_K, except possibly in the absolutely unramified…

Given a number field $k$, we show that, for many finite groups $G$, all the Galois extensions of $k$ with Galois group $G$ cannot be obtained by specializing any given finitely many Galois extensions $E/k(T)$ with Galois group $G$ and $E/k$…

Ramification invariants are necessary, but not in general sufficient, to determine the Galois module structure of ideals in local number field extensions. This insufficiency is associated with elementary abelian extensions, where one can…
