Abstract

top
The main results of this paper may be loosely stated as follows.Theorem.— Let N and N ' be sums of Galois algebras with group Γ over algebraic number fields. Suppose that N and N ' have the same dimension and that they are identical at their wildly ramified primes. Then (writing 𝒪 N for the maximal order in N ) 𝒪 N 𝒪 N Γ Γ 𝒪 N ' 𝒪 N ' Γ . In many cases 𝒪 N Γ 𝒪 N ' . The role played by the root numbers of N and N ' at the symplectic characters of Γ in determining the relationship between the Γ -modules 𝒪 N and 𝒪 N ' is described. The theorem includes as a special case the theorem of M. J. Taylor on the structure of the ring of integers in a tamely ramified extension and it employs many of the results employed by Taylor in the proof of his theorem.
