In number theory, more specifically in local class field theory, the ramification groups are a filtration of the Galois group of a local field extension, which gives detailed information on the ramification phenomena of the extension. == Ramification groups in lower numbering == Ramification groups are a refinement of the Galois group of a finite Galois extension of local fields. We shall write for the valuation, the ring of integers and its maximal ideal for . As a consequence of Hensel's lemma, one can write for some where is the ring of integers of .〔Neukirch (1999) p.178〕 (This is stronger than the primitive element theorem.) Then, for each integer , we define to be the set of all that satisfies the following equivalent conditions. *(i) operates trivially on *(ii) for all *(iii) The group is called ''-th ramification group''. They form a decreasing filtration, : In fact, the are normal by (i) and trivial for sufficiently large by (iii). For the lowest indices, it is customary to call the inertia subgroup of because of its relation to splitting of prime ideals, while the wild inertia subgroup of . The quotient is called the tame quotient. The Galois group and its subgroups are studied by employing the above filtration or, more specifically, the corresponding quotients. In particular, * where are the (finite) residue fields of .〔since is canonically isomorphic to the decomposition group.〕 * is unramified. * is tamely ramified (i.e., the ramification index is prime to the residue characteristic.) The study of ramification groups reduces to the totally ramified case since one has for . One also defines the function . (ii) in the above shows is independent of choice of and, moreover, the study of the filtration is essentially equivalent to that of .〔Serre (1979) p.62〕 satisfies the following: for , * * * Fix a uniformizer of . Then induces the injection where . (The map actually does not depend on the choice of the uniformizer.〔Conrad〕) It follows from this〔Use and 〕 * is cyclic of order prime to * is a product of cyclic groups of order . In particular, is a ''p''-group and is solvable. The ramification groups can be used to compute the different of the extension and that of subextensions:〔Serre (1979) 4.1 Prop.4, p.64〕 : If is a normal subgroup of , then, for , .〔Serre (1979) 4.1. Prop.3, p.63〕 Combining this with the above one obtains: for a subextension corresponding to , : If , then .〔Serre (1979) 4.2. Proposition 10.〕 In the terminology of Lazard, this can be understood to mean the Lie algebra is abelian. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ramification group」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
