Abstract: Let

k

be an algebraically closed field of characteristic

p > 0

and

C

a connected nonsingular projective curve over

k

with genus

g g e q 2

. Let

(C, G)

be a "big action", i.e. a pair

(C, G)

where

G

is a

p

-subgroup of the

k

-automorphism group of

C

such that

f r a c | G | g > f r a c 2 p p - 1

. We denote by

G_{2}

the second ramification group of

G

at the unique ramification point of the cover

C o C / G

. The aim of this paper is to describe the big actions whose

G_{2}

is

p

-elementary abelian. In particular, we obtain a structure theorem by considering the

k

-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

G_{2}

. In this case, we display some universal families.
