Abstract:Given a Galois cover of curves over F p , we relate the padic valuation of epsilon constants appearing in functional equations of Artin L-functions to an equivariant Euler characteristic. Our main theorem generalises a result of Chinburg from the tamely to the weakly ramified case. We furthermore apply Chinburg's result to obtain a 'weak' relation in the general case. In the Appendix, we study, in this arbitrarily wildly ramified case, the integrality of p-adic valuations of epsilon constants.
