Further remarks on local discriminants

Abstract

Using Kummer theory for a finite extension K of \Qp(ζ)(where p is a prime number and ζa primitive p-th root of~1), we compute the ramification filtration and the discriminant of an arbitrary elementary abelian p-extension of K. We also develop the analogous Artin-Schreier theory for finite extensions of \Fp((π)) and derive similar results for their elementary abelian p-extensions.
