TauCeti.RingTheory.DedekindDomain.AdicValuation.InertiaDegree

The residue degree of a completion is the inertia degree #

Let R ⊆ B be Dedekind domains with fraction fields K ⊆ L, and let w be a height-one prime of B lying over the height-one prime v of R. The completions K_v and L_w carry valuative relations, and the canonical map K_v → L_w is a valuative extension, so the residue field 𝓀[L_w] is an extension of the residue field 𝓀[K_v]. Its degree is the residue degree of the local extension.

This file proves that this local residue degree is the global inertia degree f(w ∣ v): the residue-field identifications R ⧸ v ≃+* 𝓀[K_v] and B ⧸ w ≃+* 𝓀[L_w] intertwine the two residue extensions, so the two degrees agree. Together with IsDedekindDomain.HeightOneSpectrum.ramificationIndex_adicCompletion, which matches the local ramification index with w.asIdeal.ramificationIdx R, this says that passing to the completions loses neither of the two invariants attached to w over v.

The residue-field identifications are natural. The identifications R ⧸ v ≃+* 𝓀[K_v] and B ⧸ w ≃+* 𝓀[L_w] intertwine the residue extension of w over v with the residue extension of the completions.

The local residue degree is the global inertia degree. For w a height-one prime of B over the height-one prime v of R, the residue field of the completion L_w has degree w.asIdeal.inertiaDeg R over the residue field of K_v.

The residue cardinality of a completion. When the residue field of w is finite, the residue field of L_w has #𝓀[K_v] ^ f(w ∣ v) elements.
