The polynomial is Eisenstein at , so a root generates a totally ramified cubic field and is a uniformizer of . Its cubic discriminant is
Its -adic valuation is , so it is not a square. The cubic discriminant criterion therefore gives
The unique quadratic subfield is generated by . Since the permitted square root is in , this subfield is
It is totally ramified of degree two, by the Eisenstein polynomial . The ramification index of is divisible by both the index of and the index of . Since the whole degree is , it follows that
In particular .
We use the following standard facts about totally ramified extensions: every uniformizer generates the valuation ring over the base valuation ring, and for a totally ramified Galois extension
Thus we can use the uniformizer criterion for lower ramification groups. Put . Since and ,
is a uniformizer of .
Let be the three roots. The Galois group acts transitively on their unordered pairs and preserves the valuation, so all differences between distinct roots have the same valuation . The discriminant identity gives
hence . Thus, for any , either or has valuation .
A nontrivial three-cycle fixes , since it fixes the quadratic subfield, and sends to a different root. Also : write the sum as , whose two terms have unequal valuations . Therefore
A transposition changes the sign of . Consequently
The numerator has valuation : it is plus terms of strictly higher valuation if the root changes, and exactly if the root is fixed. Thus every transposition has . We conclude that the ramification groups of the splitting field of T3 minus 3T plus 3 over Q3 are
As an independent check, the cubic field has and different exponent . The extension is tamely totally ramified of degree two, so its different exponent is . The different in a tower gives , agreeing with the ramification sum .
