On ramification filtrations and \(p\)-adic differential modules. I: The equal characteristic case (Q716048)

Let \(k\) be a complete discretely valued field of equal characteristic \(p>0\), \(G_k\) its absolute Galois group. The author proves: (1) (Hasse-Arf Theorem) Let \(\rho:G_k\to \text{GL}(V_\rho)\) be a \(p\)-adic representation of finite local monodromy. Then the arithmetic Artin conductor of \(\rho\), the differential Artin conductor, and the Borger's conductor are the same. The arithmetic Swan conductor is the same as the differential Swan conductor. As a consequence, they are all nonnegative integers. (2) The subquotients \(\text{Fil}^aG_k/\text{Fil}^{a+}G_k\) of the arithmetic ramification filtrations are trivial if \(a\not\in{\mathbb Q}\) and are elementary \(p\)-abelian groups if \(a\in {\mathbb Q}_{>1}\); the subquotients \(\text{Fil}_{\log}^aG_k/\text{Fil}_{\log}^{a+}G_k \) of the arithmetic logarithmic ramification filtrations are trivial if \(a\not\in{\mathbb Q}\) and are elementary \(p\)-abelian groups if \(a\in {\mathbb Q}_{>0}\).
