Let I(L/K) be the inertia group and let φ denote Frobenius on the residue-field extension. The Relative Weil group is
W(L/K)={σ∈Gal(L/K):σˉ=φn for some n∈Z}.
(1)
Its Weil-group topology makes I(L/K) an open profinite group with its usual topology and gives W(L/K)/I(L/K) the discrete topology. Thus every inertia coset is an open copy of I(L/K).
Take L=Knr, the maximal unramified extension of K. Then
Gal(L/K)≅Z,W(L/K)≅Z.
(2)
The subgroup {0}⊂Z is open in the discrete Weil-group topology, but it is not open in the profinite topology inherited from Z.
