Completion of $\mathbb F_q(T)$

It is easy to prove that for a an irreducible polynomial $P$ of degree $d$ of $\mathbb F_q[T]$, one can embed $\mathbb F_{q^d}$ in $\mathbb F_q(T)_P$ (the completion of $\mathbb F_q(T)$ at $P$) and ...

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 ...

Does $0\to I\to\mathrm{Gal}_K\to\mathrm{Gal}_k\to 0$ always split?

Let $K$ be a henselian valuation field with residue field $k$, then the decomposition group surjects onto Galois group of the residue field, with kernel the inertia subgroup, namely we have short ...

What is $H^1(\mathbb Z, GL_k(R_n))$ for a ring closely related to the cyclotomic rings of integers?

Let us consider $R_n = \mathbb Z_\ell[\theta_n]/(\theta^{\ell^n}-1)$, an auxiliary prime power $q\equiv 1 \pmod \ell$ with an action of $\mathbb Z = \langle \sigma\rangle$ by $\sigma(\theta_n) = \...

Is the special case of Abhyankar's lemma is also considered as such?

Consider the following statement: Assume $E$ and $F$ are unramified (over some fixed prime) finite separable extensions of a field $K$. Then $EF$ is also unramified. I always thought that it is ...
