The ramification index of an extension of DVRs R ⊆ S, defined as the
ramification index of the maximal ideals.
Instances For
An extension of DVRs R ⊆ S is unramified iff the ramification index equals 1.
Instances For
Fundamental identity for an extension of DVRs: the ramification index
times the inertia degree equals the field extension degree [L : K].
In the unramified case for DVRs, the inertia degree equals the field
extension degree [L : K].
The local contribution e - 1 of a DVR extension to the ramification
divisor is non-negative.
The local degree at p of the ramification divisor of an extension
R ⊆ S of Dedekind domains: the sum over primes P over p of e_P - 1.
Instances For
The local ramification-divisor degree at p is non-negative.
The local ramification-divisor degree at p is bounded above by the
field extension degree [L : K], via the fundamental identity.
The local ramification-divisor degree at p vanishes iff every prime
above p is unramified (e_P = 1).
Numerical data attached to a finite morphism f : X → Y of smooth curves:
the degree, the degrees of the canonical divisors on source and target, and
the degree of the ramification divisor, with non-negativity/positivity hypotheses.
Instances For
Given the canonical decomposition K_X = f*K_Y + R and the pullback identity
deg f*K_Y = n · deg K_Y, we obtain deg K_X = n · deg K_Y + deg R.
Riemann–Hurwitz in degree form (Cor 27, Lec 21): for a CurveCovering,
deg K_X = n · deg K_Y + deg R.
Translating Riemann–Hurwitz from canonical degrees to genus form via
deg K_X = 2 g_X - 2, deg K_Y = 2 g_Y - 2.
Lower bound for the genus from Riemann–Hurwitz and ramification non-negativity.

Riemann–Hurwitz decomposition for a cover of ℙ¹ (target genus 0).
Numerical identity: a degree-2 cover of ℙ¹ with 4 simple ramification

Numerical: for an elliptic curve deg K = 0 = 2·1 - 2.
CurveMorphismData for a hyperelliptic double cover of ℙ¹ realizing a
curve of genus g, with 2g + 2 simple branch points.
