For a finite Galois extension L/K of non-Archimedean local fields, the Relative Weil group is
WL/K​=WK​/[WL​,WL​]​.
(1)
Here WL​ is the subgroup of the absolute Weil group corresponding to L. Local Artin reciprocity identifies its abelianization with L×, giving an extension
1⟶L×⟶WL/K​⟶Gal(L/K)⟶1.
(2)
Its extension class in H2(Gal(L/K),L×) is the local fundamental class. The subgroup L× is open and has its usual local-field topology. For L=K, this recovers WKab​≅K×. This relative extension has a different kernel from the residue-action description of the absolute Weil group.[ref]
