 Absolute Galois group of the complex Laurent series field

Inside an algebraic closure, choose compatible roots $t^{1/n}$. The fields $\mathbb{C}((t^{1/n}))$ exhaust all finite extensions by finite extensions of the complex Laurent series field. Restriction from a degree-$m$ field to a degree-$n$ field for $n\mid m$ sends an exponent modulo $m$ to its reduction modulo $n$. The absolute Galois group is their inverse limit, namely the profinite completion of $\mathbb{Z}$. This is a procyclic group, rather than the direct-limit torsion group of all complex roots of unity.
