Ramification of the dyadic eighth-root cyclotomic extension #
The local field ℚ₂(ζ₈) is totally ramified of degree four, and ζ₈ - 1 generates its
integer ring and is a uniformizer. The lower index of an automorphism is two when its
cyclotomic exponent is three or seven, and four when that exponent is five. Thus the lower
ramification groups are the whole group through index one, the subgroup generated by
ζ₈ ↦ -ζ₈ at indices two and three, and trivial from index four.
Hilbert's formula then gives different and discriminant exponents equal to eight.
These computations supply the cyclotomic side of the comparison of lower numbering with
the quadratic subextension ℚ₂(√2).

The local-field construction follows the other modules in
TauCeti.NumberTheory.LocalField.WorkedExamples. The norm computations reuse Mathlib's
