Ring of integers of $mathbb{C}_p$












5












$begingroup$


Sorry, maybe this is a really stupid question. Let $mathbb{C}_p$ be the completion of the algebraic closure $overline{mathbb{Q}_p}$ of the field of $p$-adic numbers. We know that there exists a way to extend the $p$-adic valuation to $mathbb{C}_p$, and in this way it is possible to define the ring of integers $mathcal{O}_{mathbb{C}_p}$ given by elements of valuation greater or equal than $0$. It is also possible to define the maximal ideal of this valuation ring given by elements of valuation strictly greater than $0$. Now, is this ideal finitely generated?

    Let $K^{unr} = mathbf{Q}_p(zeta_{p^infty-1})$ the maximal unramified extension of $mathbf{Q}_p$ (so that $(p)$ is the unique maximal ideal of both rings of integers). Since $O_{K^{unr}}/(p)$ is algebraically closed then for any finite extension $L/K$ of degree $n$ you'll have $|pi_L|_L= |p|_L^{1/n}$. Thus only finite extensions of $K$ are local fields and any infinite extension of $K$ will be dense in $mathbb{C}_p$.

    @reuns, I do not believe that any infinite extension of $K=K^{unr}$ is dense in $Bbb C_p$. What about the maximal tame extension of $K$?

    @Lubin Thank you. You are saying that $p nmid n = [K^{unr}(a):K^{unr}]$ implies that $|a|= p^{l/n}$ so $|a| ne |p^{1/p}|$ and $|p^{1/p}-a| ge |p^{1/p}|$ ? Whence with $L$ the maximal tame extension of $K^{unr}$ then $inf_{a in L} |p^{1/p} - a| = |p^{1/p}|$ and my last sentence was a big mistake and $mathbb{C}_p$ is very different to $mathbb{C}$ in this regard.

    Right you are. I’m pretty sure that even if your valuation group was all of $Bbb Q$, that would not be enough to guarantee that the completion was all of $Bbb C$. Wild ramification is truly a wild phenomenon!

No it isn't - indeed, suppose it were, say $mathfrak{m}_{mathbb{C}_p} = (x_1,ldots,x_n)$. Then $v(x) geq min v(x_i) > 0$ for any $xinmathfrak{m}_{mathbb{C}_p}$. However, this is a contradiction as there exist elements of $mathfrak{m}_{mathbb{C}_p}$ with valuation strictly less than $min v(x_i)$ (for example, one of the $sqrt{x_i}$).
