Abstract

Let v be a henselian valuation of a field K. In this paper it is proved that any finite extension (K′, v′) of (K, v) is tame if and only if there exists α ≠ 0 in K′ such that v′(α) = v(TrK′/K(α)) using elementary results of valuation theory. A special case of this result, when the characteristic of the residue field of v is p > 0 and (K′, v′)/(K, v) is an extension of degree p, was proved in 1990 by J. P. Tignol (J. Reine Angew. Math. 404 (1990) 1–38).
