maximal abelian extension of quadratic extension of $\mathbb Q_p$

I read this article "Local class field theory via Lubin-Tate theory" http://arxiv.org/pdf/math/0606108v2.pdf. And I want to find the maximal abelian extensions for quadratic extensions of $\mathbb Q_p,...

Local densities of hermitian forms

I think this is an easy question, but I need some time to introduce it. I need to apply Yumiko Hironaka's computations on local densities of hermitian forms (see 1). I would have liked to create the ...

Inertia group vs. differential equations

The tame quotient of the inertia group of $\mathbf Q_p$, say, is the profinite group generated by the Frobenius $\sigma$ and the monodromy $\tau$, subject to the relation $\tau^{p-1} [\tau, \sigma] = ...

henselization and completion

This might not be a question appropriate for this forum, I apologize in this case... Is it true that any element of the completion of a valued ring $R$ that is algebraic over the field of fractions of ...

A question on Haar measure on local field.

Let $F$ be a local field of characteristic 0, and $f:F\rightarrow \mathbb{C}$ be an integrable function. Is the following formulation valid? $ \int_{F^\times}f(x^2) d^\times x=\int_{F^{\times 2}}f(x) ...

Galois invariants in a ring of fractional power series over a finite field

Let $\mathbf{F}_q$ be a finite field, and let $A=\mathbf{F}_q [[ x^{1/q^\infty} ]]$ be the completion of $\mathbf{F}_q[x^{1/q^\infty}]$ with respect to the $x$-adic topology. Then the $q$th power ...

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 - ...

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 ...

squares in dyadic local fields

Hello, By the local square theorem I know that $1+4\alpha$ is square if $|\alpha|<1$ ($\alpha$ is not a unit). Now, Can I always get a unit $\alpha$ such that $1+4\alpha$ is not a square ?? For ...

Computing (on a computer) higher ramification groups and/or conductors of representations.

I am supervising an undergraduate for a project in which he's going to talk about the relationship between Galois representations and modular forms. We decided we'd figure out a few examples of weight ...

Conductors of Weil-Deligne representations

Suppose $(V,N)$ is an $n$-dimensional semisimple $WD$ representation of $W_{\mathbb{Q}_p}$. This corresponds under local Langlands to an admissable representation $\pi$ of $GL_n(\mathbb{Q}_p)$. Is ...

Is there any approximated version of Hilbert 90?

Suppose $K$ is a local field and $L$ a finite cyclic extension of $K$. By Hilbert 90, we know that if an element $a$ in $ L$ such that $N_{L / K}(a) =1 $ then $ a = b / \sigma(b) $ for some $b$ in $L$ ...

Why isn't there a structure with two primes?

I don't know whether this question is a bit too vague for MO or not, so feel free to delete it if you see fit. The p-adic integer is defined by taking the inverse limit $\ldots \mathbb{Z} / p^2 \...
