Generalized Abhyankar conjecture for the affine line

About 6 years old · traced to

Let kk be a field of characteristic p>5p>5, and let Ak1\mathbb{A}^1_k be the affine line over kk. Let πAloc(Ak1)\pi^{\rm loc}_A(\mathbb{A}^1_k) denote the set of finite local kk-group schemes appearing as quotients of the local fundamental group scheme of Ak1\mathbb{A}^1_k. A finite local kk-group scheme is said to have no nontrivial characters when it admits no nontrivial homomorphism to the multiplicative group scheme. Generalized Abhyankar conjecture. The set πAloc(Ak1)\pi^{\rm loc}_A(\mathbb{A}^1_k) is the set of finite local kk-group schemes with no nontrivial characters. This is the affine-line formulation of the purely inseparable analogue of Abhyankar's conjecture; the source presents it as a question, and the general assertion remains open, although evidence and the solvable case are known.
