The tame-base-extension limit conjecture for Borger's Artin conductor

About 20 years old · traced to

Let EE be the local field under consideration and let GEG_E denote its absolute Galois group. Let ρ\rho be a representation of GEG_E with finite local monodromy. For a positive integer mm, let Em/EE_m/E be an extension that is tamely ramified of tame degree mm, and write GEmG_{E_m} for its absolute Galois group. Let b′(Em)b'(E_m) be Borger's Artin conductor of the restriction of ρ\rho to GEmG_{E_m}. The tame-base-extension limit conjecture. Then

lim sup⁡m→∞m−1b′(Em)\limsup_{m\to\infty}m^{-1}b'(E_m)

equals the differential Swan conductor of ρ\rho.

This conjecture proposes a reconciliation between Borger's Artin conductor and the differential Swan conductor in the imperfect-residue-field setting: forcing good behavior under tame base extension should recover the differential invariant. Its resolution is not given here.
