Local class field theory via Lubin-Tate theory (Q1000299): Difference between revisions

Let \(K\) be a local field with finite residue field. This self-contained expository paper develops local class field theory for \(K\) using the theory of relative Lubin-Tate formal group laws. The approach is similar to that found by \textit{K. Iwasawa} [Local class field theory. New York: Oxford University Press; Oxford: Clarendon Press (1986; Zbl 0604.12014)], the main difference being that the present author uses the Coleman norm operator for relative Lubin-Tate formal groups, rather than just classical Lubin-Tate formal groups, as in [loc. cit.]. Overall, this paper provides a complete and concise derivation of local class field theory requiring no background beyond the basic properties of local fields.
