Automorphisms of finite extensions acting on integral and residue data #

An automorphism of a finite extension of a nonarchimedean local field preserves the unique extended valuation. Consequently it restricts to the ring of integers and its maximal ideal, and descends to the residue field. This file constructs those three actions and records their compatibility with inclusion and reduction, including the comparison with the residue-field embedding AlgHom.residueFieldHom induced by an arbitrary K-embedding.

The induced residue-field automorphism is linear over the residue field of the base. It therefore gives the canonical homomorphism between the corresponding automorphism groups. When the field extension is Galois, the kernel of this homomorphism is the inertia group in ramification theory.

Main definitions #

The homomorphism from field automorphisms to residue-field automorphisms is Mathlib's generic MulSemiringAction.toAlgAut applied to the action constructed here.

Main results #

References #

The ring of integers is stable under every automorphism of a finite extension of a nonarchimedean local field.

Every automorphism of L/K preserves the valuation subring of L, so its decomposition subgroup is the whole automorphism group.

Scalar multiplication by an extension automorphism is compatible with multiplication by an integer of the extension.

The Galois action on a finite extension restricts to a Galois-group action on its ring of integers.

Coercing the action on the integer ring to L recovers the field automorphism.

@[simp]

The integer-ring equivalence agrees with the canonical automorphism action.

@[simp]

Restricting the scalars of an automorphism along a tower L/K'/K does not change its action on the ring of integers of L.

@[simp]

For a subextension K' of L/K normal over K, an automorphism of L/K acts on the image of the ring of integers of K' through its restriction to K'.

      The induced residue-field equivalence agrees with the canonical residue-field action.

      @[simp]

      For an automorphism, the induced embedding of residue fields is the induced automorphism AlgEquiv.residueFieldEquiv.

      @[simp]

      Every automorphism of a finite extension of a nonarchimedean local field preserves the normalized valuation of a unit. The action of σ on LĖ£ is Units.map σ, so this is also the statement that normalizedValuation L (σ • x) = normalizedValuation L x.

      Automorphisms act on the ring of integers by š’Ŗ[K]-algebra automorphisms: the action commutes with the scalars from the ring of integers of the base field.

      The residue-field action of extension automorphisms fixes the base residue field.

      Field automorphisms act on the maximal ideal by restriction of their action on the ring of integers.

      The maximal-ideal action is the restriction represented by AlgEquiv.maximalIdealEquiv.

      Evaluating the canonical residue-field automorphism homomorphism gives the induced residue-field equivalence.

      An automorphism of a finite extension is determined by its action on the ring of integers, since every element of L becomes integral after multiplication by a nonzero integer of K.
