Abhyankar's conjecture on Galois groups over curves.
Let be an algebraically closed field of characteristic . We study obstructions to lifting to characteristic the faithful continuous action of a finite group on . To each such a theorem of Katz and Gabber associates an action of on a smooth projective curve over . We say that the KGB obstruction of vanishes if acts on a smooth projective curve in characteristic in such a way that and have the same genus for all subgroups . We determine for which the KGB obstruction...
