Fried and Heiermann defined the \"indices of inseparability\" of L/K, a refinement of the ramification data of L/K. We give a method for computing the indices of inseparability of the extension L/K in terms of the norm group N_{L/K}(L^*) in the case where K has characteristic p and Gal(L/K) is an elementary abelian p-group with a single ramification break. In some cases our methods lead to simple formulas for the indices of inseparability.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-11-07T14:28:28.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11S15", "11S31" ], "keywords": [ "elementary abelian p-extensions", "inseparability", "finite totally ramified galois extension", "single ramification break", "elementary abelian p-group" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 19, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1205.2517K" } } }
