Corollary 27 (fundamental identity ∑ e_i f_i = n): for a finite extension B/A
of Dedekind domains with fraction fields L/K and a nonzero prime 𝔭 ⊂ A,
∑_{𝔔 ∣ 𝔭} e(𝔔/𝔭) · f(𝔔/𝔭) = [L : K].
Specialization of Corollary 27 when all inertia degrees f(𝔔/𝔭) are one (e.g. for
a separable extension over an algebraically closed residue field): the total ramification
above 𝔭 equals [L:K] minus the number of primes above 𝔭.

Corollary 27 (degree formula for the canonical divisor): for a finite separable
covering B/A of complete smooth curves, ramified only over a finite set S,
deg K_B = [L : K] · deg K_A + deg R, where R is the ramification divisor.
Restatement of the degree formula in terms of the pulled-back canonical degree:
deg K_B = deg(f* K_A) + deg R.
