Abstract

Let kk be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>0p>0 and CC a connected nonsingular projective curve over kk with genus g2g \geq 2. Let (C,G)(C,G) be a "big action", i.e. a pair (C,G)(C,G) where GG is a pp-subgroup of the kk-automorphism group of CC such thatGg>2pp1\frac{|G|}{g} >\frac{2 p}{p-1}. We denote by G2G_2 the second ramification group of GG at the unique ramification point of the cover CC/GC \to C/G. The aim of this paper is to describe the big actions whose G2G_2 is pp-elementary abelian. In particular, we obtain a structure theorem by considering the kk-algebra generated by the additive polynomials. We more specifically explore the case where there is a maximal number of jumps in the ramification filtration of G2G_2. In this case, we display some universal families.
