The dyadic ramification of ℚ(i) #

For K generated over ℚ by an algebraic integer θ with minpoly ℤ θ = X² + 1, the prime 2 divides the discriminant −4, so it ramifies: the prime 𝔭 = (1 + θ) is the only prime of 𝓞 K above 2, with e = 2, f = 1 and 2 𝓞 K = 𝔭². The different of the monogenic ring 𝓞 K = ℤ[θ] is generated by f'(θ) = 2θ, and θ is a unit, so 𝔡 = (2) = 𝔭²: the different exponent v_𝔭(𝔡) = 2 equals the ramification index. This is the wild dyadic case, where the lower bound e of the different exponent is attained and the tame formula e − 1 fails. Since v_𝔭(e) = v_𝔭(2) = 2, the upper bound e − 1 + v_𝔭(e) = 3 of Dedekind's different theorem is strict here; it is attained in ℚ(√2) (TauCeti.NumberField.Sqrt2.multiplicity_differentIdeal_eq_ramificationIdx_sub_one_add).

Main results #

2 ramifies in ℚ(i): it divides the discriminant −4.

The ideal (1 + θ) has absolute norm 2: N(1 + θ) = 1² − (−1) · 1².

There is a single prime of 𝓞 K above 2.

The ramification index of 2 in ℚ(i) is 2, in the form that does not name a prime above 2.

The different of ℚ(i) is (2): the different of ℤ[θ] is generated by f'(θ) = 2θ, and θ is a unit.

The prime above 2 in ℚ(i) is (1 + θ).

2 is totally ramified in ℚ(i): e(𝔭 ∣ 2) = 2.

The prime above 2 in ℚ(i) has residue degree 1.

The different of ℚ(i) is 𝔭²: 𝔡 = (2) = 𝔭².

The different exponent at the dyadic prime is 2 = e: v_𝔭(𝔡) = 2, the wild lower bound attained.

The dyadic valuation of 2 in ℚ(i) is 2: v_𝔭(2) = 2.

The wild upper bound is strict in ℚ(i): at the dyadic prime, v_𝔭(𝔡) = 2 < 3 = e − 1 + v_𝔭(e).
