Local -characters in torsion rings
Let be a rational prime and a complete discrete valuation field with residue field of positive characteristic . When is finite, generalizing the theory of Deligne [1], we construct in [10] and [11] a theory of local -constants for representations, over a complete local ring with an algebraically closed residue field of characteristic , of the Weil group of . In this paper, we generalize the results in [10] and [11] to the case where is an arbitrary perfect field.
