Abstract: Let $K$ be a function field over a finite field $k$ of characteristic $p$ and let $K_{infty}/K$ be a geometric extension with Galois group $mathbb{Z}_p$. Let $K_n$ be the corresponding subextension with Galois group $mathbbZ/p^{n}mathbbZ$ and genus $g_n$. In this paper, we give a simple explicit formula $g_n$ in terms of an explicit Witt vector construction of the $mathbb{Z}_p$-tower. This formula leads to a tight lower bound on $g_n$ which is quadratic in $p^n$. Furthermore, we determine all $mathbb{Z}_p$-towers for which the genus sequence is stable, in the sense that there are $a,b,cinmathbbQ$ such that $g_n=a{p}^{2n}+b{p}^n+c$ for $n$ large enough. Such genus stable towers are expected to have strong stable arithmetic properties for their zeta functions. A key technical contribution of this work is a new simplified formula for the Schmid-Witt symbol coming from local class field theory.
