Hasse–Arf theorem for arithmetic conductors

Let kk be a complete discretely valued field of equal characteristic pp, and let GkG_k be its absolute Galois group. Let ρ\rho be a representation of GkG_k with finite local monodromy. Define the arithmetic Artin and Swan conductors by

Artar(ρ)=aQ0adim(VρFila+Gk/VρFilaGk),\mathrm{Art}_{ar}(\rho)=\sum_{a\in\mathbb{Q}_{\geq 0}}a\cdot\dim\left(V_\rho^{\mathrm{Fil}^{a+}G_k}/V_\rho^{\mathrm{Fil}^aG_k}\right), Swanar(ρ)=aQ0adim(VρFilloga+Gk/VρFillogaGk).\mathrm{Swan}_{ar}(\rho)=\sum_{a\in\mathbb{Q}_{\geq 0}}a\cdot\dim\left(V_\rho^{\mathrm{Fil}_{\mathrm{log}}^{a+}G_k}/V_\rho^{\mathrm{Fil}_{\mathrm{log}}^aG_k}\right).

Hasse–Arf theorem. The arithmetic conductors are nonnegative integers:

Artar(ρ)Z0,Swanar(ρ)Z0.\mathrm{Art}_{ar}(\rho)\in\mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0},\qquad \mathrm{Swan}_{ar}(\rho)\in\mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}.

This is the equal-characteristic Hasse–Arf integrality assertion for the arithmetic conductors associated with the ramification filtrations. The supplied text does not state whether this theorem is being proved, recalled, or treated as open.
