The unramified quadratic extension ℚ₂(ζ₃) #
The polynomial X² + X + 1 is irreducible over ℚ₂: a root would make -3 a square, although
-3 is not a square modulo 8. Its root field is the cyclotomic extension ℚ₂(ζ₃), equipped
here with the canonical nonarchimedean local-field structure extending that of ℚ₂.
The extension is unramified. Its distinguished root ζ₃ is integral, and the derivative
2ζ₃ + 1 has square -3, a unit in ℤ₂. Thus the simple-root criterion applies. In particular,
the extension has exactly two 2-power roots of unity, and its arithmetic Frobenius has order two,
so its Galois group is nontrivial.
