A valuation criterion for normal basis generators in equal positive characteristic

Abstract: We answer a recent conjecture of [N.P. Byott, G.G. Elder, A valuation criterion for normal bases in elementary abelian extensions, Bull. London Math. Soc. 39 (5) (2007) 705-708] in a more general setting. Precisely, let L/K be a finite abelian p-extension of local fields of characteristic p > 0 that is totally ramified. Let b denote the largest ramification break in the lower numbering. We prove that any element x ∈ L whose valuation over L is equal to b modulo [L : K] generates a normal basis of L/K. The argu… Show more

“…In any case, our method is necessarily restricted to totally ramified extensions of ppower degree, since if L/K admits an A-scaffold, then it possesses a "valuation criterion": there is an integer b such that any element of L of valuation b is a free generator of L over A (see Proposition 2.12). This property, which can be viewed as a strong version of the Normal Basis Theorem, has been studied in a number of papers [BE07, Tho08,Eld10,Byo11,dSFT12], and can only hold when L/K is totally ramified and of p-power degree (see [dSFT12, Proposition 1.2] for the Galois case).…”

“…In §2, we review the facts we shall need from Hopf-Galois theory, and prove several preliminary results in the case of p-extensions. These show, in effect, that the relevant Hopf algebras behave similarly to the group algebras considered in [9]. In §3 we develop some machinery to handle extensions whose degrees are not powers of p. In [4], such extensions were treated by reducing to a totally and tamely ramified extension.…”

“…We complete the proof of Theorem 2 in §4. The ramification groups, which play an essential role in the arguments of [4] and [9], are not available in the Hopf-Galois setting, but their use can be avoided by working directly with the inverse different. Finally, in §5, we give an example of a family of extensions which are not Galois, but to which Theorem 2 applies.…”
