An approach to higher ramification theory
I. Zhukov
Abstract.
This is an introduction to author's ramification theory
of a complete discrete valuation field
with residue field whose p-basis consists of at most one element.
New lower and upper filtrations are defined;
cyclic extensions of degree p may have
non-integer ramification breaks.
A refinement of the filtration for two-dimensional local fields
which is compatible with the reciprocity map is discussed.
Keywords. Higher ramification theory, complete discrete valuation fields.
