The degree of a finite morphism of integral domains, defined as the rank of
fraction fields [K(A) : K(B)].
Instances For
For a finite extension of domains, degree coincides with the module rank.
General version of Lec 6, Lem 13: over a normal Noetherian base B, the
fiber of a finite morphism Spec A โ Spec B has cardinality bounded by the
generic degree [K(A) : K(B)].
Specialization of the fiber bound to Dedekind domains: the number of primes
of S lying over a non-zero maximal p โ R is at most [L : K].
The fundamental identity ฮฃ e_i f_i = [L : K] for primes lying over a
non-zero maximal ideal in a Dedekind extension.
Spec A โ Spec B is unramified over ๐ญ when the fiber attains the degree
upper bound (i.e. the fiber bound of Lem 13 is an equality).
Instances For
Dedekind-domain version of unramifiedness: the number of primes over p
equals [L : K].
Instances For
The Dedekind-domain ramified condition: the fiber bound at p is strict.
Instances For
Ramification at p is equivalent to a strict inequality in the fiber bound.
If p is unramified (fiber bound is an equality), then every e_P ยท f_P = 1,
i.e. e_P = f_P = 1 for each prime P over p.
Converse: if every prime over p has e = f = 1, then p is unramified.
Characterization: p is unramified iff every prime over p has trivial
ramification index and inertia degree.
Each inertia degree f_P is bounded by the global degree [L : K].
Each ramification index e_P is bounded by the global degree [L : K].
