Rigidity of unramified extensions #
Let K be a nonarchimedean local field, let L/K be a finite unramified extension and let M/K
be any finite extension. A K-embedding ΞΉ : L β M induces a π[K]-embedding of residue fields
ΞΉ.residueFieldHom : π[L] β π[M]. This file proves that reduction is a bijection
(L ββ[K] M) β (π[L] ββ[π[K]] π[M]).
So a K-embedding of an unramified extension is determined by its effect on residue fields, and
every embedding of residue fields lifts. In particular, when M/K is unramified as well, a chosen
π[K]-isomorphism π[L] β π[M] lifts to a unique K-isomorphism L β M. Without fixing the
residue isomorphism there is no uniqueness: L has [L : K] automorphisms over K, one above
each automorphism of π[L] over π[K].
Write q = #π[K] and f = f(L/K). The extension L is generated over K by a primitive
(q^f β 1)-st root of unity ΞΆ, and q^f β 1 is prime to the residue characteristic. Reduction
is therefore injective on the (q^f β 1)-st roots of unity of πͺ[M], and by Hensel's lemma every
such root of unity of π[M] lifts. An embedding ΞΉ is determined by ΞΉ ΞΆ, which is the unique
lift of the residue of ΞΉ ΞΆ. Conversely, given a residue embedding Ο, the lift ΞΎ of the image
under Ο of the residue of ΞΆ is a root of the minimal polynomial g of ΞΆ over πͺ[K]: its
residue is a root of the reduction of g, and not of the reduction of the cofactor
(X^{q^fβ1} β 1) / g, because X^{q^fβ1} β 1 is separable over π[M]. So ΞΆ β¦ ΞΎ defines a
K-embedding lifting Ο, since the residue of ΞΆ generates π[L].

Embeddings of an unramified extension are determined by their residue maps, and every
residue map lifts. For L/K unramified, reduction is a bijection from the K-embeddings
L β M to the π[K]-embeddings π[L] β π[M].
