Ramification of a finite flat group scheme over a local field Original Research Article

In this paper, we analyze ramification in the sense of Abbes–Saito of a finite flat group scheme over the ring of integers of a complete discrete valuation field of mixed characteristic (0,p). We deduce that its Galois representation depends only on its reduction modulo explicitly computed p-power. We also give a new proof of a theorem of Fontaine on ramification of a finite flat Galois representation, and extend it to the case where the residue field may be imperfect.
