Realize a finite p-group P as the Galois group of a totally ramified extension E/Fp​((t)), using Artin-Schreier embedding problems over a characteristic-p field. A uniformizer u of E gives E≅Fp​((u)): every element has a unique convergent Laurent expansion with coefficients in the residue field. An automorphism has u↦a1​u+a2​u2+⋯, and a1​ defines a homomorphism P→Fp×​. Its image is trivial because ∣P∣ is a p-power and p∤∣Fp×​∣. Thus the faithful Galois action lies in the Nottingham group, embedding P.
