The residue field has a unique degree- extension . Choose a monic irreducible polynomial defining it and lift to a monic . Hensel's lemma shows that a root generates an unramified extension of degree with that residue field. Any two such extensions embed into a common algebraic closure and have the same Teichmuller lifts of , which generate them; hence they coincide. This proves existence and uniqueness of the unramified extension.
