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.
