For a finite extension of number fields L/K and a nonzero prime ideal p of K, the primes of L above p correspond to the orbits of
Gal(Kp​/Kp​)onHomK​(L,Kp​).
(1)
An embedding determines a prime by pulling back the local absolute value on a field. Embeddings with the same prime extend to embeddings of the same completion and are conjugate. If L=K(α), these orbits are the irreducible factors of its minimal polynomial over Kp​.
