Residue correspondence for unramified local extensions #

For a finite unramified Galois extension L / K of nonarchimedean local fields, reduction gives an isomorphism from the Galois group of L / K to the Galois group of the residue-field extension. Its inverse carries the finite-field Frobenius to the Frobenius automorphism of L / K.

The residue action is surjective, and its kernel is the inertia group. Unramifiedness makes this kernel trivial, giving the residue correspondence. This also shows that Frobenius generates the Galois group and has order equal to the inertia degree. Without assuming unramifiedness, the quotient by inertia is cyclic because it embeds into the residue-field Galois group.

    The quotient G / G_0 of the Galois group by inertia is cyclic: the action on the residue field identifies it with a subgroup of the Galois group of the finite residue field extension, which is cyclic.

    The inertia group of an unramified finite Galois extension of local fields is trivial.

    Reduction is a bijection from the Galois group of an unramified extension to the Galois group of its residue-field extension.
