Towards the generalized purely wild inertia conjecture for product of alternating and symmetric groups

We obtain new evidence for the Purely Wild Inertia Conjecture posed by Abhyankar and for its generalization. We show that this generalized conjecture is true for any product of simple Alternating groups in odd characteristics, and for any product of certain Symmetric or Alternating groups in characteristic two. We also obtain important results towards the realization of the inertia groups which can be applied to more general set up. We further show that the Purely Wild Inertia Conjecture is true for any product of perfect quasi p-groups (groups generated by their Sylow p-subgroups) if the conjecture is established for individual groups.
