The main tool we use is the classical Artin-Schreier-Witt theory for $p^n$-cyclic covers in characteristic $p$. Although the results of this paper concern only the cases of degree $p$ and $p^2$-cyclic cover we develop the techniques and the framework in which the general cyclic case can be studied.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2004-05-27T15:36:24.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "equal characteristic", "semi-stable reduction", "cyclic p-groups", "cyclic cover", "general cyclic case" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 54, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2004math......5529S" } } }
