Ramification index #
Given P : Ideal S lying over p : Ideal R for the ring extension f : R →+* S
(assuming P and p are prime or maximal where needed),
the ramification index Ideal.ramificationIdx p P is the multiplicity of P in map f p.
Implementation notes #
Often the above theory is set up in the case where:
Ris the ring of integers of a number fieldK,Lis a finite separable extension ofK,Sis the integral closure ofRinL,pandPare maximal ideals,Pis an ideal lying overp. We will try to relax the above hypotheses as much as possible.
Notation #
In this file, e stands for the ramification index of P over p, leaving p and P implicit.
The ramification index of P over p is the largest exponent n such that
p is contained in P^n.
In particular, if p is not contained in P^n, then the ramification index is 0.
If there is no largest such n (e.g. because p = ⊥), then ramificationIdx is
defined to be 0.
Instances For
The converse is true when S is a Dedekind domain.

If v is an irreducible ideal of R, w is an irreducible ideal of S lying over v, and
I is an ideal of R, then the multiplicity of w in I.map (algebraMap R S) is given by
the multiplicity of v in I multiplied by the ramification index of w over v.
Let T / S / R be a tower of algebras, p, P, Q be ideals in R, S, T respectively,
and P and Q are prime. If P = Q ∩ S, then e (Q | p) = e (P | p) * e (Q | P).
