How do I extend the $2$-adic absolute value to prove Monsky's Theorem?

In proving Monsky's Theorem, it is required that we define the $2$-adic absolute value on an arbitrary finitely generated extension of $\mathbb{Q}$ say $\mathbb{K}=\mathbb{Q}(\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_n)$...

Unramified extension over $ \mathbb{Q}_{p} $

Let $\mathbb{Q}_{p}$ be a p-adic field such that $ p \neq 2 $. We knew that for every $ n=2m $ there exists exactly one unramified extension $ K $ of $ \mathbb{Q}_{p} $ of degree $ n $, obtained by ...

Existence of intermediate field extensions for tamely ramified p-adic extensions

Let $p$ be a prime, and let $K/\mathbb{Q}_p$ be a tamely ramified finite extension of degree $n$. Let $q$ be a prime factor of $n$ with $q\neq p$. Must there exist an intermediate extension $L$ (...

Galois cohomology with coefficients in the integers of the Lubin-Tate extension

Let $K$ be a $p$-adic local field, and $L$ the Lubin-Tate extension obtained from $K$ by attaching roots of some Lubin-Tate formal $\mathcal{O}_{K}$-module with $Gal(L/K) \simeq \mathcal{O}_{K}^{\...

Do algebraic completion/topological completion of fields always terminate? If so, are they unique?

Take the field $\mathbb{Q}$, If we complete it topologically with respect to the Euclidean norm, we get $\mathbb{R}$, then if we complete it algebraically, we get $\mathbb{C}$. On the other hand, the ...

Relative Leopoldt defect

Let F be a totally real number field such that the Leopoldt conjecture holds at a prime number $p$ and $M$ be a quadratic totally real extension of $F$. Is there a bound of the Leopoldt defect of $M$ ...

Coverings/Cech cohomology of totally disconnected spaces

For any topological space $X$ we have a natural functor $\text{Cov}_X \rightarrow \text{Fun}(\pi_1(X),\text{Set})$ from the category of coverings of $X$ to the category of functors $\pi_1(X) \...

Transcendental numbers in the p-adic rationals $\mathbb Q_p$ [closed]

I know that there are uncountably infinite transcendentals over $\mathbb Q$ in $\mathbb Q_p$. What i want to ask is if there is a way to determine whether a transcendental over $\mathbb Q$ lays in ...

structure of norm one group for quadratic extension of p-adic fields

Let $F$ be a p-adic field (finite extensions of $\mathbb{Q}_p$ for some prime $p$), and $E/F$ be a quadratic extension. Use $\sigma$ to denote the nontrivial element in the Galois group $Gal(E/F)$. ...
