For a finite Galois extension of non-Archimedean local fields, the Relative Weil group is
Here is the subgroup of the absolute Weil group corresponding to . Local Artin reciprocity identifies its abelianization with , giving an extension
Its extension class in is the local fundamental class. The subgroup is open and has its usual local-field topology. For , this recovers . This relative extension has a different kernel from the residue-action description of the absolute Weil group.[ref]
