Let $L/\mathbb{Q}$ be a finite Galois extension, andetand let $\mathcal{O}_L$ be the ring of integers of $L$.

We have $tr_{L/\mathbb{Q}}(\mathcal{O}_L)=d\mathbb{Z}$ for some $d\geq 1.$

Fact. $d=1$ if and only if $L/\mathbb{Q}$ is tamely ramified.

Question 1. Let $p$ be a prime number. Is it true that $tr_{L/\mathbb{Q}}(x)=0 \mod p$$tr_{L/\mathbb{Q}}(x)=0 \pmod p$ for all $x\in\mathcal{O}_L$ if and only if $p$ is wildly ramified ?

Question 2. Is the value of $d$ computable in terms of the arithmetic of $L/\mathbb{Q}$ ?

For questionQuestion 1., it would suffice to prove that the following fact: if $\mathfrak{p}$ lies above $p$ and $e\geq 2$, then the trace map of the $\mathbb{F}_p$-algebra $\mathcal{O}_L/\mathfrak{p}^e$ is zero if and only if $p\mid e$. I almostalmost convinced myself it is true, but I can't get to a complete proof...

Any help/reference woud be greatly appreciated.
