Kato's conductor and generic residual perfection
Abstract
Description
Let A be a complete discrete valuation ring with possibly imperfect residue field, and let $χ$ be a one-dimensional Galois representation over A. I show that the non-logarithmic variant of Kato's Swan conductor is the same for $χ$ and the pullback of $χ$ to the generic residual perfection of A. This implies the conductor from "Conductors and the moduli of residual perfection" (math.NT/0112305) extends the non-logarithmic variant of Kato's.
