The local lifting problem for A_4

preprint2016arXivOpen access

Abstract

We solve the local lifting problem for the alternating group A_4, thus showing that it is a local Oort group. Specifically, if k is an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2, we prove that every A_4-extension of k[[s]] lifts to characteristic zero. As a consequence, every A_4-branched cover of smooth projective curves in characteristic 2 lifts to characteristic zero.
