Nov 4, 2019 at 19:15 comment added David Lampert Maybe my p=3 calculations are wrong (I did them years ago and without computer). Anyway the method (for any p) and the p=2 result are correct.
Nov 4, 2019 at 5:53 comment added Yijun Yuan Well, I calculated the case of p=3 yesterday, but it seems to me that the element(let's call it $\pi$) you give has valuation 6. With the help of Mathematica, its minimal polynomial is $729+\cdots+627342091483343791624192x^{54}$, where this large constant is coprime to 3. Thus, $v(\pi)=v(729/627...192)/54=v(729)/54=6v(3)=v(3)/9=6$. Tell me if I'm wrong.
Nov 3, 2019 at 21:39 comment added David Lampert Algebraic P-adic Expansions explains how to calculate p-adic expansions with some results about roots of unity (I think the statements there about $p^2$-roots of unity maybe technically incorrect and the "Edit: With p=3" is correct). The element identified is a uniformizer because its valuation is 1/(ramification index).
Nov 3, 2019 at 11:23 comment added Yijun Yuan Could you please explain more? 1. How do you calculate the p-adic expansion of the unit root? 2. Why the element you find is a uniformizer?
