Now let $n=m=p$ be prime and put $\alpha =\sqrt[p]{p}$ and $A=\mathbb{Z}[\alpha ]$. The Eisenstein criterion applied at $p$ gives $[\mathbb{Q}(\alpha ):\mathbb{Q}]=p$, while the discriminant of elements of a number field of its power basis iswhere $f(X)=X^p-p$. By the discriminant-index formula for an integral lattice, every prime dividing $[{\mathcal{O}}_L:A]$ must therefore be $p$.

Suppose $A\ne {\mathcal{O}}_L$. The finite abelian group ${\mathcal{O}}_L/A$ is then a nontrivial finite p-group, so it contains an element of order $p$. Consequently there is an $x\in {\mathcal{O}}_L\setminus A$ such thatwith some $c_k$ not divisible by $p$.

The polynomial $X^p-p$ is Eisenstein, so total ramification from an Eisenstein polynomial gives a unique prime ideal $P$ above $p$ with normalized discrete valuationLet $k_0$ be the least index for which $p\nmid c_{k_0}$. The term $c_{k_0}{\alpha }^{k_0}$ has valuation $k_0<p$; every earlier term has valuation at least $p$, and every later term with coefficient prime to $p$ has a distinct, larger valuation. The non-Archimedean valuation therefore givesThis contradicts $x\in {\mathcal{O}}_L$, since an algebraic integer has nonnegative valuation at every prime ideal. Thus $A={\mathcal{O}}_L$, and

The polynomial of $\alpha$ satisfies the Eisenstein criterion at $p$. Let $\mathfrak{p}$ be any prime ideal of ${\mathcal{O}}_K$ above $p$, normalize its ideal valuation by $v_{\mathfrak{p}}(\mathfrak{p})=1$, and write $e=v_{\mathfrak{p}}(p)$ for its ramification index of a prime ideal. Put $t=v_{\mathfrak{p}}(\alpha )$. Inthe constant term has valuation $e$, while every other $a_j{\alpha }^j$ has valuation at least $e+jt$. The non-Archimedean valuation property then forcesIndeed, either strict inequality would leave a unique term of least valuation in the equation. Since $t$ is a positive integer and $e\le n$, it follows that $t=1$ and $e=n$.

The fundamental inequality ${\sum }_{\mathfrak{p}\mid p}{e}_{\mathfrak{p}}{f}_{\mathfrak{p}}\le n$ now shows that $\mathfrak{p}$ is the unique prime above $p$ and has residue degree one. At this prime,while $(p,\alpha )$ has no factor away from $p$. Unique prime ideal factorization therefore givesFinally $v_P(\alpha )=1$, soThis is total ramification from an Eisenstein polynomial.
