The wild-ramification conjecture for preimage fields

Let XX be a smooth, irreducible, projective variety over the field of fractions KK of a Dedekind domain RR, let φ:XX\varphi:X\to X be a PCF morphism defined over KK, and let αX(K)\alpha\in X(K) lie in the setting of the finite-ramification theorem. Write S(α)S_\infty(\alpha) for the finite set of primes of KK ramified in the field generated by all iterated preimages of α\alpha. Wild-ramification conjecture. There is at least one prime of KK in S(α)S_\infty(\alpha) at which the ramification is wild. This conjecture proposes that the finite ramification supplied by the PCF theorem can never be entirely tame; its resolution is not given in the source.
