from Part V - Upper Ramification Subgroups
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 May 2026
Replacing immersions to smooth schemes by exact immersions to log smooth schemes, we define a logarithmic variant of the filtration by upper ramification subgroups. As a preliminary, we prepare basic facts on log smooth schemes. The logarithmic variant coincides with the non-logarithmic one after taking a log smooth base extension. For abelian extensions in characteristic p, the filtration is given by Brylinski's filtration on the Witt vectors. The proof is based on a computation of Witt vectors with respect to dilatations.
