Let be the inertia group and let denote Frobenius on the residue-field extension. The Relative Weil group isIts Weil-group topology makes an open profinite group with its usual topology and gives the discrete topology. Thus every inertia coset is an open copy of .
Take , the maximal unramified extension of . ThenThe subgroup is open in the discrete Weil-group topology, but it is not open in the profinite topology inherited from .
