We define $A_{L/K}$ to be the unique fractional $\\bo_L$-ideal with square equal to the inverse different of $L/K$. For $p$ an odd prime and $L/\\Q_p$ contained in certain cyclotomic extensions, Erez has described integral normal bases for $A_{L/\\Q_p}$ that are self-dual with respect to the trace form. Assuming $K/\\Q_p$ to be unramified we generate odd abelian weakly ramified extensions of $K$ using Lubin-Tate formal groups. We then use Dwork's exponential power series to explicitly construct self-dual integral normal bases for the square-root of the inverse different in these extensions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-07-02T10:37:37.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "explicit construction", "abelian weakly ramified extensions", "square-root", "odd abelian", "construct self-dual integral normal bases" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1007.0332J" } } }
