Wild Inertia Subgroup


The wild inertia subgroup P of a finite Galois extension of local fields with residue characteristic p is the first higher ramification group G_1. It is the unique Sylow p-subgroup of the inertia subgroup. The quotient group of the inertia subgroup by P is a cyclic group of order prime to p.
