Parity in Bloch’s conductor formula in even dimension

Takeshi Saito (2004)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

For a variety over a local field, Bloch proposed a conjectural formula for the alternating sum of Artin conductor of -adic cohomology. We prove that the formula is valid modulo 2 if the variety has even dimension.

Prime to p fundamental groups and tame Galois actions

Mark Kisin (2000)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

We show that for a local, discretely valued field F , with residue characteristic p , and a variety 𝒰 over F , the map ρ : Gal ( F sep / F ) Out ( π 1 , geom ( p ' ) ( 𝒰 ) ) to the outer automorphisms of the prime to p geometric étale fundamental group of 𝒰 maps the wild inertia onto a finite image. We show that under favourable conditions ρ depends only on the reduction of 𝒰 modulo a power of the maximal ideal of F . The proofs make use of the theory of logarithmic schemes.
