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 ...

Quadratic extension of local field
Let $F$ be a nonarchimedean local field of characteristic zero, and $E$ an extension of $F$ with $[E:F]=2^n$ for some $n$. Is it always possible to find a quadratic extension $M$ of $F$ such that $F\...

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)...

Galois module theory: from global to local
Let $L/\mathbb{Q}$ be a finite Galois extension with Galois group $G$. It is well known that the ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_L$ is free over its associated order $\mathfrak{A}_{L/\mathbb{Q}}=\{x\in \...

Totally ramified subextension in a finite extension of $\mathbf{Q}_p$
Let $K$ be a finite extension of $\mathbf{Q}_p$. Let $F_d$ be the unramified extension of $\mathbf{Q}_p$ of degree $d$. I would like to know whether there exists some $d \geq 1$ and some $L \subset K \...

Which groups are Galois over some p-adic field?
Suppose I have some finite $p$-group $G$, or a little extension of it.
How do I know if there exists a prime $l$ and a finite extension $K$ of $\mathbb{Q}_l$ such that $G$ is the Galois group of ...

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})) \...

Finding a cyclic cubic extension of a field
Let $K$ be a field and let $E/K$ be a Galois extension of degree 6 with $\text{Gal}(E/K) = S_3$, the symmetric group on 3 letters. Pick two different transpositions $s_1, s_2$ in $S_3$ (hence $s_1s_2$ ...

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 ...

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 ...
