In this paper we show that if $L/K$ has only two distinct indices of inseparability then there exists a uniformizer $\\pi_L$ for $L$ whose minimum polynomial over $K$ has at most three terms. This leads to an explicit classification of extensions with two indices of inseparability. Our classification extends work of Amano, who considered the case $k=1$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-01-06T03:55:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11S05" ], "keywords": [ "local field", "eisenstein polynomials", "classification extends work", "explicit classification", "residue characteristic" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 24, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
