Let k be a local field; that is, a complete discrete-valued field having a perfect residue class field. If L is a finite Galois extension of k then L is also a local field. Let G denote the Galois group GL|k. Then the nth ramification group Gn is defined by

where OL, denotes the ring of integers of L, and PL is the prime ideal of OL. The ramification groups form a descending chain of invariant subgroups of G:

In this paper, an attempt is made to characterize (in terms of the arithmetic of k) the ramification filters (1) obtained from abelian extensions L\k.
