Unramified generator criterion with separable reduction

ID: unramified-generator-criterion-with-separable-reduction

A finite extension of complete discretely valued fields is unramified exactly when it has an integral generator whose reduced minimal polynomial of an algebraic element is separable. In one direction, lift a residue-field primitive element. In the other, the factorization form of Hensel's lemma makes the separable reduction irreducible, forcing residue degree to equal the entire extension degree.
