Automorphisms of local fields

It is an amusing coincidence (at least it appears to be a coincidence to me) that any completion of the field $\mathbb{Q}$ has trivial automorphism group as an abstract field, i.e. when ignoring the ...

$SL_2(\mathbb{Z}_p)$ extension of a local field

Let $G$ be an arbitrary open group of $SL_2(\mathbb{Z}_p)$ and $K$ be a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. Can we construct a Galois extension field $E$ of $K$ such that $\text{Gal}(E/K)\cong G$? ...

Explicit construction of abelian wild inertial extensions of maximal tamely ramified extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$?

In Iwasawa's paper On Galois groups of local fields, he proves that if $V$ is the maximal tamely ramified extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$, with Galois group $\Gamma$ over the base, then its abelianized ...

For a quadratic extension $E/K$, condition on a character $\chi:E^\times/E^{\times 2} \to C_2$ to give a $C_4$-extension $L/K$

Let $K$ be a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_2$, and let $E/K$ be a quadratic extension. By local class field theory, quadratic extensions $L/E$ correspond to quadratic characters $\chi:E^\times \to ...

Reference request: Regarding the image of inertia group being a subgroup of Aut($\widetilde{E}$)

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}_p$ with potential good reduction. I was told that if $F$ is the smallest Galois extension over $\mathbb{Q}_p$ such that $E$ has good reduction then the ...

When is the extension $L(S)/L$ Galois and totally ramified?

Let $L$ be a finite extension of the $p$-adic field $\mathbb{Q}_p$ with ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_K$ with uniformizer $\pi$. Let us consider the polynomial ring $L[x_1,x_2,\dotsc,x_l]$ in $l$-...

Existence of maximal totally ramified subextension

Suppose $K/\mathbb Q_p$ is a finite extension, with ramification index $e$ and inertia index $f$. I want to ask whether there exists a subextension $L/\mathbb Q_p$ totally ramified of degree $e$?

Local field such that the value group of $K^\text{perf}$ ( perfect closure of $K$) is $\bigcup_{n\geqq1}(1/p^n) \Bbb{Z}$

Let $K$ be a local field of positive characteristic. I'm looking for a $K$ which satisfies the following condition. Value group of $K^\text{perf}$ (perfect closure of $K$) is $\bigcup_{n\geqq1}(1/p^n)...
