  2. Ramification (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramification_(mathematics)

    In a covering map the Euler–Poincaré characteristic should multiply by the number of sheets; ramification can therefore be detected by some dropping from that. The z → z n mapping shows this as a local pattern: if we exclude 0, looking at 0 < |z| < 1 say, we have (from the homotopy point of view) the circle mapped to itself by the n-th power map (Euler–Poincaré characteristic 0), but ...

  3. Riemann–Hurwitz formula - Wikipedia

    with the summation taken over four ramification points. The formula may also be used to calculate the genus of hyperelliptic curves. As another example, the Riemann sphere maps to itself by the function z n, which has ramification index n at 0, for any integer n > 1. There can only be other ramification at the point at infinity.

  4. Conductor of an elliptic curve - Wikipedia

    The tame ramification part ε is defined in terms of the reduction type: ε=0 for good reduction, ε=1 for multiplicative reduction and ε=2 for additive reduction. The wild ramification term δ is zero unless p divides 2 or 3, and in the latter cases it is defined in terms of the wild ramification of the extensions of K by the division points ...

  5. Ramification group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramification_group

    In mathematics, the ramification theory of valuations studies the set of extensions of a valuation v of a field K to an extension L of K. It is a generalization of the ramification theory of Dedekind domains. [1] [2] The structure of the set of extensions is known better when L/K is Galois.

  6. Néron–Ogg–Shafarevich criterion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Néron–Ogg–Shafarevich...

    In mathematics, the Néron–Ogg–Shafarevich criterion states that if A is an elliptic curve or abelian variety over a local field K and ℓ is a prime not dividing the characteristic of the residue field of K then A has good reduction if and only if the ℓ-adic Tate module T ℓ of A is unramified.

  7. Splitting of prime ideals in Galois extensions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splitting_of_prime_ideals...

    There, given a Galois ramified cover, all but finitely many points have the same number of preimages. The splitting of primes in extensions that are not Galois may be studied by using a splitting field initially, i.e. a Galois extension that is somewhat larger. For example, cubic fields usually are 'regulated' by a degree 6 field containing them.

    If + and F is a finite extension of of ramification degree (/), there is an upper bound expressed in terms of the function (), which is defined as follows: Write n = ∑ k ≥ 0 c k p k {\displaystyle n=\sum _{k\geq 0}c_{k}p^{k}} with 0 ≤ c k < p {\displaystyle 0\leq c_{k}<p} and set L p ( n ) = ∑ k ≥ 0 k c k p k {\displaystyle L_{p}(n ...

  9. Complex multiplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_multiplication

    In mathematics, complex multiplication (CM) is the theory of elliptic curves E that have an endomorphism ring larger than the integers. [1] Put another way, it contains the theory of elliptic functions with extra symmetries, such as are visible when the period lattice is the Gaussian integer lattice or Eisenstein integer lattice.
