Extract
Throughout this paper R and Rn will denote v-rings, that is, complete discrete rank-one valuation rings of characteristic zero, having a common residue field k of characteristic p. R is assumed unramified and Rn has ramification index n. Let π be a prime element in Rn. Then Rn = R[π], where π is a root of an Eisenstein polynomial ƒ = xn + pƒn-1 xn-1 + … + pƒ0 with coefficients in R and ƒ0 a unit. Thus Rn is inertially isomorphic to R[[x]]/ƒR[(x)], that is, the rings are isomorphic by a mapping which induces the identity mapping on the common residue field. R[[x]] represents the power series ring in the indeterminate x over R. In this paper we identify Rn with R[[x]]/ƒR[[x]], R with its natural embedding in Rn and π with x + ƒR[[x]].
