The sharp upper bound for the Swan-exponent difference in residue characteristic two
The sharp upper bound for the Swan-exponent difference in residue characteristic two
Let be the residue characteristic, and let be a Galois representation. The Swan-exponent difference is
Sharp upper-bound conjecture. Assume . For any Galois representation , one has
This would improve the established upper bound by a factor of two in residue characteristic two. The source further indicates that the proposed inequality is expected to be sharp, but does not state a resolution.
