Unramified primes in Kummer fields #

The finite Kummer field generated by roots of a subgroup of local units is unramified at every prime avoiding the exponent. The ambient field containing the roots need not itself be a number field: in particular, it can be the separable closure. This gives the ramification input for norm computations in extensions generated by roots of S-units.

In particular, ramifiedSupport_kummerField_sUnits_subset shows that the field generated by n-th roots of the S-units has its ramified support contained in S, when S contains the primes dividing n. This is the ramification hypothesis in the placewise proof that Kummer ideles are norms from that field.

A finite Kummer extension of a number field is a number field, even when its ambient field is infinite over the base. The base need not contain the n-th roots of unity.

A finite Kummer field generated by roots of v-units is unramified at v, provided v does not divide the exponent. The ambient field E may be infinite over K.

The ramified support of a finite Kummer field of a subgroup of the S-units is contained in S, when S contains the primes dividing the exponent.

The field generated by the n-th roots of the S-units is unramified outside S, provided S contains every prime dividing n. The roots may be taken in the separable closure.

The Kummer field of the S-units is unramified at every place outside S, when S contains the places above n.
