TauCeti.RingTheory.DedekindDomain.AdicValuation.RamificationIndex

The local ramification index of a completion is the global one #

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, both with finite residue fields. The completions K_v and L_w are nonarchimedean local fields, and the canonical continuous map K_v → L_w makes L_w a valuative extension of K_v in the AdicCompletionExtension scope. This file proves that the ramification index of that extension of local fields is the ramification index of w over R:

IsDedekindDomain.HeightOneSpectrum.ramificationIndex_adicCompletion v w identifies TauCeti.ramificationIndex K_v L_w with w.asIdeal.ramificationIdx R.

So the local invariant, defined through the normalized valuations of K_v and L_w alone, is the global one, defined as a length of a localization of B. In particular, when B is essentially of finite type over R, a place unramified over the base completes to an unramified extension of local fields.

The local ramification index is the global one. For w a height-one prime of B over the height-one prime v of R, with finite residue fields, the ramification index of the extension of local fields L_w / K_v, for the canonical algebra structure of adicCompletionExtension, is the ramification index of w over R.

Tameness of the completed extension. The extension of local fields L_w / K_v is tamely ramified exactly when the ramification index of w over R is nonzero in the residue field R ⧸ v.

Wildness of the completed extension. The extension of local fields L_w / K_v is wildly ramified exactly when the ramification index of w over R vanishes in the residue field R ⧸ v.

An unramified place gives an unramified completed extension. If B is essentially of finite type over R and w is unramified over R, the extension of local fields L_w / K_v is unramified.
