p-Adic regulators on curves and special values of p-adic L-functions.
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.
We show that for a local, discretely valued field , with residue characteristic , and a variety over , the map to the outer automorphisms of the prime to geometric étale fundamental group of maps the wild inertia onto a finite image. We show that under favourable conditions depends only on the reduction of modulo a power of the maximal ideal of . The proofs make use of the theory of logarithmic schemes.
