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 ...

Extensions of p-adic number fields

Let $p$ be a prime number and $\mathbb{Q}_p$ be the $p-$adic rational field. Let $E/\mathbb{Q}_p$ be a fixed finite extension. On this site, I define a finite extension $F/E$ to be "good" if ...

What are the jumps in the ramification filtration of the absolute Galois group of a local field?

Let $k$ be a (complete) discretely valued field and $\ell$ a Galois extension of $k$, possibly infinite. The Galois group $\Gamma=\text{Gal}(\ell/k)$ of $\ell$ over $k$ admits a descreasing, $\mathbb ...

Are the abelian absolute Galois groups of these local fields isomorphic?

For a field $F$ we denote by $F^{\mathrm{ab}}$ the compositum of all finite Galois abelian extensions of $F$. Is $\mathrm{Gal}(\mathbb{Q}_2(\sqrt[8]{3})^{\mathrm{ab}}/\mathbb{Q}_2(\sqrt[8]{3})) \...

Image of norm map for local field

Let $F$ be a finite extension of $Q_2$ (2-adic field) or $F_2((x))$ (function field). Let $E/F$ be a separable extension of degree $2$. What is the image of the norm map $N_{E/F}$? In particular - ...
