Finite coefficient field in positive-characteristic local fields

ID: finite-coefficient-field-in-positive-characteristic-local-fields

For a characteristic-p local field with residue field , the simple roots of lift uniquely by Hensel lemma. Their lifts form a copy of , since qth powers preserve addition and multiplication. Choose a uniformizer . Repeatedly subtracting the lifted residue and dividing by produces a unique convergent expansion for each integral element. Allowing finitely many negative powers gives a valued-field isomorphism , .
