Abstract: Curves in positive characteristic have a Cartier operator acting on their space of regular differentials. The

a

-number of a curve is defined to be the dimension of the kernel of the Cartier operator. In cite{BoCaASc}, Booher and Cais used a sheaf-theoretic approach to give bounds on the

a

-numbers of Artin-Schreier covers. In this paper, that approach is generalized to arbitrary powers of the Cartier operator, yielding bounds for the dimension of the kernel. These bounds give new restrictions on the Ekedahl-Oort type of Artin-Schreier covers.
