Abstract

We prove that¯Q-local systems of bounded rank and ramification on a smooth variety X defined over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p ≠ ℓ are tamified outside of codimension 2 by a finite separable cover of bounded degree. In rank one, there is a curve which preserves their monodromy. There is a curve defined over the algebraic closure of a purely transcendental extension of k of finite degree which fulfills the Lefschetz theorem.
