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.

      The distinguished primitive cube root in ℚ₂(ζ₃).

      Instances For

        The defining equation ζ₃² + ζ₃ + 1 = 0.

        The distinguished root ζ₃ is a primitive cube root of unity.

        The distinguished root generates ℚ₂(ζ₃) over ℚ₂.

        The extension ℚ₂(ζ₃)/ℚ₂ has degree two.

        The extension ℚ₂(ζ₃)/ℚ₂ is unramified. The integral generator ζ₃ is a simple root of X² + X + 1, since the square of the derivative 2ζ₃ + 1 is the unit -3.

        The 2-power roots of unity in ℚ₂(ζ₃) have order two.

        The automorphism group of the unramified quadratic extension ℚ₂(ζ₃)/ℚ₂ is nontrivial.
