| Abstract: One of many hazards in the jungle of characteristic p algebraic geometry is the presence of wild ramification, which is in a loose sense what happens when objects possess automorphisms of order divisible by p. In this talk, I will tell an incomplete story of wild ramification for algebraic curves in characteristic p, starting with the fundamental example of Artin-Schreier curves. I will also describe some work in progress towards a description of the moduli stack of Artin-Schreier covers of curves, part of which relies on results in a recent preprint (arXiv:1910.03146). |
