Feb 15, 2011 at 14:01 comment added David Loeffler Serre's "Local Fields" is the bible here. Milne's notes on local class field theory (from his website) are also very good. As for the subgroups you mention: if t is positive and reasonably large, the p-adic logarithm map will give an isomorphism between $(1 + \pi^t \mathcal{O}_E, \times)$ and $(\pi^t \mathcal{O}_E, +)$, and the norm on the left-hand side corresponds to the trace on the right, which reduces it to a much easier question. For t positive but small there might be some messier behaviour. I don't know what the question means for $t < 0$.
Feb 15, 2011 at 8:24 comment added Pooja Singla Thank you very much for your comment David. It is very useful for me. Would you suggest a reference for this result? I am also trying to understand the image of groups $1 + \pi^t \mathcal{O}_E$, $t \in \mathbb{Z}$ under the norm map in above situation. Do you have any comments for these groups?

Feb 14, 2011 at 15:49 comment added David Loeffler Just a remark: while (as the answers below show) it is not true that $[F^\times : N_{E/F} E^\times]$ has anything to do with ramification, it is true for any finite abelian extension of local fields that $[\mathcal{O}_F^\times : N_{E/F} \mathcal{O}_E^\times] = e_{E/F}$.

Feb 14, 2011 at 11:09 comment added KConrad What does "some extension" mean? If you meant it to be a finite extension or an algebraic extension, please say so. Also, is the quadratic extension in the function field case supposed to be Galois or not?
