Abstract
We prove a purely local form of a result of Saito and Yatagawa. They proved that the characteristic cycle of a constructible étale sheaf is determined by wild ramification of the sheaf along the boundary of a compactification. But they had to consider ramification at all the points of the compactification. We give a pointwise result, that is, we prove that the characteristic cycle of a constructible étale sheaf around a point is determined by wild ramification at that point. The key ingredient is to prove that wild ramification of the stalk of the nearby cycle complex of a constructible étale sheaf at a point is determined by wild ramification at that point.
