The totally ramified extension conjecture for potentially good reduction

Let KK, ϕ\phi, and BB be as in Theorem A, and let kk be the residue field of KK. Assume that kk is perfect.

Totally ramified extension conjecture. If ϕ\phi has potentially good reduction, then there is a totally ramified extension L/KL/K with [L:K]B[L:K]\leq B such that ϕ\phi is conjugate over LL to a map of good reduction.

The conjecture proposes that the sharp bound BB from Theorem A can always be attained by a totally ramified extension when the residue field is perfect. The paper notes that the perfectness hypothesis is necessary and suggests proving the conjecture through totally ramified analogues of the auxiliary theorems used for Theorem A.
