Ramification groups of some finite Galois extensions of maximal nilpotency class over local fields of positive characteristic

Abstract: We examine the ramification groups of finite Galois extensions over complete discrete valuation fields of equal characteristic $p>0$. Brylinski (1983) calculated the ramification groups in the case where the Galois groups are abelian. We extend the results of Brylinski to some non-abelian cases where the Galois groups are of order $\leq p^{p+1}$ and of maximal nilpotency class.
