The Hasse–Arf theorem for mixed-characteristic ramification filtrations

Let KK be a complete discretely valued field of mixed characteristic (0,p)(0,p), and let ρ:GKGL(Vρ)\rho:G_K\rightarrow GL(V_\rho) be a representation with finite local monodromy. The Artin and Swan conductors are defined by the ramification filtrations, and for a0a\geq 0 the quotients FilaGK/Fila+GK\mathrm{Fil}^aG_K/\mathrm{Fil}^{a+}G_K and FillogaGK/Filloga+GK\mathrm{Fil}^a_{\mathrm{log}}G_K/\mathrm{Fil}^{a+}_{\mathrm{log}}G_K are the corresponding ramification subquotients. Hasse–Arf theorem. (1) Art(ρ)\mathrm{Art}(\rho) and Swan(ρ)\mathrm{Swan}(\rho) are non-negative integers, and (2) the subquotients

FilaGK/Fila+GKandFillogaGK/Filloga+GK\mathrm{Fil}^aG_K/\mathrm{Fil}^{a+}G_K\quad\text{and}\quad\mathrm{Fil}^a_{\mathrm{log}}G_K/\mathrm{Fil}^{a+}_{\mathrm{log}}G_K

are abelian groups killed by pp. This extends the integrality and structural conclusions of the Hasse–Arf theorem to the mixed-characteristic setting considered here; the supplied text does not state whether the result was subsequently proved, so its database status is left open.
