Assume that $(L,v)$ is a finite Galois extension of a valued field $(K,v)$. We give an explicit construction of the valuation ring $\mathcal O_L$ of $L$ as an $\mathcal O_K$-algebra, and an explicit description of the module of relative…

Given a $2$-adic field $K$, we give formulae for the number of totally ramified quartic field extensions $L/K$ with a given discriminant valuation and Galois closure group. We use these formulae to prove a refinement of Serre's mass…

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…

Let $K$ be a complete discrete valued field of characteristic $p$ with residue $k$ which is not necessarily perfect. We prove the Conjecture in \cite{cs} that a $p$-algebra over $K$ contains a totally ramified cyclic maximal subfield if it…

Let O be a complete discrete valuation ring of mixed characteristic and with finite residue field k. We study a natural morphism between the Greenberg algebra of O and the special fiber of the scheme of ramified Witt vectors over O. It is a…

The Steinitz class of a number field extension K/k is an ideal class in the ring of integers O_k of k, which, together with the degree [K:k] of the extension determines the O_k-module structure of O_K. We call R_t(k,G) the classes which are…

For a wildly ramified extension $K/k$ of complete discrete valuation fields we study collections of elements of $k[G]$ (where $G=Gal(K/k)$) that fit well for constructing bases of various associated Galois modules and orders. In the case…

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…

We prove that a valued field of positive characteristic $p$ that has only finitely many distinct Artin-Schreier extensions (which is a property of infinite NTP$_2$ fields) is dense in its perfect hull. As a consequence, it is a deeply…

Author's generalization of one-dimensional class field theory to theory of abelian totally ramified p-extensions of a complete discrete valuation field with arbitrary non-separably p-closed residue field and its applications are described.

We study the asymptotic distribution of wildly ramified extensions of function fields in characteristic $p > 2$, focusing on (certain) $p$-groups of nilpotency class at most $2$. Rather than the discriminant, we count extensions according…

We prove that the Witt vector affine Grassmannian, which parametrizes W(k)-lattices in W(k)[1/p]^n for a perfect field k of charactristic p, is representable by an ind-(perfect scheme) over k. This improves on previous results of Zhu by…

We study strong approximation of the equation N_{L/k}(x) = \prod_{i=1}^n p_i(t) where L/k is a finite extension of number fields and p_i(t)'s are distinct irreducible polynomials over k. We prove this equation satisfies strong approximation…

Let $k$ be a perfect field of characteristic $p > 2$, and let $K$ be a finite totally ramified extension of $W(k)[\frac{1}{p}]$ of ramification degree $e$. We consider an unramified base ring $R_0$ over $W(k)$ satisfying certain conditions,…

Let K be a finite extension of Q_p and let L/K be a totally ramified (Z/pZ)^2-extension which has a single ramification break b. Byott and Elder defined a "refined ramification break" b_* for L/K. In this paper we prove that if p>2 and the…

As an application of P. Delgine's theorem (Esnault and Kerz in Acta Math. Vietnam. 37:531-562, 2012) on a finiteness of $l$-adic sheaves on a variety over a finite field, we show the finiteness of \'etale coverings of such a variety with…

We study the following question: given a global field $F$ and finite group $G$, what is the minimal $r$ such that there exists a finite extension $K/F$ with $\mathrm{Aut}(K/F)\cong G$ that is ramified over exactly $r$ places of $F$? We…

This is an introduction to author's ramification theory of a complete discrete valuation field with residue field whose p-basis consists of at most one element. New lower and upper filtrations are defined; cyclic extensions of degree p may…

Let p>2 be a rational prime, k be a perfect field of characteristic p and K be a finite totally ramified extension of the fractional field of the Witt ring of k. Let G and H be finite flat commutative group schemes killed by p over O_K and…

Let L/K be a finite Galois extension of complete local fields with finite residue fields and let G=Gal(L/K). Let G_1 and G_2 be the first and second ramification groups. Thus L/K is tamely ramified when G_1 is trivial and we say that L/K is…
