Abstract
Let K be a field of characteristic p > 0, which has infinitely many discrete valuations. We show that every finite embedding problem for Gal(K) with finitely many prescribed local conditions, whose kernel is a p-group, is properly solvable. We then apply this result in studying the admissibility of finite groups over global fields of positive characteristic. We also give another proof for a result of Sonn.
