First of all, I find it hard to formulate a good title for this question. Sorry that it is so vague. Let's move on te the question itself. Lately I have been studying the article ["Good reduction of abelian varieties"](http://wstein.org/papers/bib/Serre-Tate-Good_Reduction_of_Abelian_Varieties.pdf) by Serre and Tate. At a certain point (in the proof of Lemma 2) they claim that a ring is henselian, and I don't see why. I will introduce the notation, so that I can specify my question. > Let $K$ be a field, $v$ a discrete valuation of $K$, $K_{s}$ a seperable closure of $K$ and $\bar{v}$ an extension of $v$ to $K_{s}$. Let $I$ and $D$ denote the inertia group and the decomposition group of $\bar{v}$. > > Let $L$ be the fixed field of the inertia group $I$, and $O_{L}$ the ring of $\bar{v}$-integers in $L$. As far as I can see, no other assumptions are made. > Why is the ring $O_{L}$ henselian? If I am not mistaken $L$ is the maximal unramified extension of $K$. I have searched Serre's "Local fields" for reasons why $O_{L}$ might be complete (hence henselian) but I could not find them. Does anyone know a reference for this question? Or a direct answer? (Thanks in advance.)
