Finite local Galois quotients through the arithmetic class-module extension #

Let P_K be wild inertia and U an open normal subgroup of the absolute Galois group G_K. If ⁅P_K, P_K⁆ ≤ U, the image of V = P_K U in G_K/U is an abelian p-group, for p the residue characteristic. Consequently G_K/U is a quotient of G_K / ker(V → Vᵃᵇ(p)).

This is the last quotient in the integral generator argument: a surjection from a free profinite group onto the arithmetic class-module extension supplies a generating tuple in G_K/U by composition with QuotientGroup.mapOfLE.
