ID: ramification-groups-of-the-splitting-field-of-xp-minus-p-over-the-p-adic-numbers

For odd , the splitting field is totally ramified of degree . With
the lower ramification groups are
To verify the filtration, write and . The Eisenstein polynomials for and give coprime degrees and , so their compositum has degree . Its element has -adic valuation , forcing total ramification. For an automorphism with and ,
Its residue is , so the normalized displacement valuation is one if . If and , that valuation is . The uniformizer criterion for lower ramification groups now gives every group displayed above.
