Dec 2, 2013 at 4:34 comment added Adam Hughes Thanks Keenan, I appreciate it! I had actually already worked out the generalization for when you can apply Krasner's lemma, but it's good to see I was not wrong in my guess that it generalized.

Dec 2, 2013 at 1:19 comment added Adam Hughes That $\varphi$ is continuous is easy, I suppose, from the inverse limit definition of the groups. Am I correct in thinking $\varphi$ is well-defined by the FTGT, or am I missing the mark on something?
Oct 30, 2012 at 11:09 comment added Keenan Kidwell I guess this procedure works equally well for Archimedean primes.
Oct 30, 2012 at 11:08 comment added Keenan Kidwell an absolute value whose corresponding equivalence class, i.e. place, is the same one you started with.
Oct 30, 2012 at 11:08 comment added Keenan Kidwell $F\subseteq F^\prime$. Then set $\overline{\mathbf{Q}}_v$ equal to the directed colimit of these completions of finite subextensions. This will be an algebraic extension of $\mathbf{Q}_p$, where $p$ is the residue characteristic of $v$, containing $\overline{\mathbf{Q}}$. Therefore you can uniquely extend the usual absolute value on $\mathbf{Q}_p$ to $\overline{\mathbf{Q}}_v$. You can also choose an embedding of $\overline{\mathbf{Q}}_v$ into $\overline{\mathbf{Q}}_p$. The induced absolute value will have to coincide with the given one, and by restriction to $\overline{\mathbf{Q}}$, you get
Oct 30, 2012 at 11:05 comment added Keenan Kidwell I'm not sure what uniformizer or power series you're referring to here. I can tell you how to go from a prime $v$ of $\overline{\mathbf{Q}}$ to an embedding. I'll assume $v$ is non-Archimedean. Pick an absolute value in $v$. By restriction to each finite subextension, i.e., each number field $F$, you get an absolute value, which I'll also denote by $v$, and you can form the completion $F_v$. If $F\subseteq F^\prime$, then the absolute value on the bigger field restricts to the absolute value on the smaller one, so there is a canonical injection $F_v\rightarrow F_v^\prime$ over
Oct 29, 2012 at 21:42 comment added Adam Hughes Just so we're clear, the way to think of the big prime over p as an embedding is to look at a uniformizer and looking at the power series for the element of $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$ in $\overline{\mathbb{Q}_p}$, or is there something I'm missing?
