Abstract
Let be a finite Galois extension of local fields. The Hasse-Arf theorem says that if Gal is abelian then the upper ramification breaks of must be integers. We prove the following converse to the Hasse-Arf theorem: Let be a nonabelian group which is isomorphic to the Galois group of some totally ramified extension of local fields with residue characteristic . Then there is a totally ramified extension of local fields with residue characteristic such that Gal and has at least one nonintegral upper ramification break.
