  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 ...

    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.

    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. Nottingham group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nottingham_group

    The group multiplication is not abelian. The group was studied by number theorists as the group of wild automorphisms of the local field F p ((t)) and by group theorists including D. Johnson (1988) and the name "Nottingham group" refers to his former domicile. This group is a finitely generated pro-p-group, of finite width. For every finite ...

    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.

    Applications of the Schönhage–Strassen algorithm include large computations done for their own sake such as the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search and approximations of π, as well as practical applications such as Lenstra elliptic curve factorization via Kronecker substitution, which reduces polynomial multiplication to integer ...

    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. 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.
