The field of norms functor and the Brückner-Vostokov formula (Q1359489)

The author deduces the explicit reciprocity law (ERL) in the characteristic zero case from the characteristic \(p\) case (= Witt ERL) by utilizing the field of norms functor of Fontaine and Wintenberger. ERL means giving an explicit formula for the pairing of the Hilbert symbol: \(K^* \times K^* \rightarrow \mu _{p^M}(K)\), where \(K\) is a finite extension of \(\mathbb{Q}_p\) containing \(p^M\)-th roots of unity. Using the Fontaine crystalline ring to relate Witt-Artin-Schreier and Kummer theories, the author reproves the Brückner-Vostokov formula, i.e. the ERL given by \textit{S. Vostokov} [Explicit form of the law of reciprocity, Math. USSR Izv. 13, 557-588 (1979); translation from Izv. Akad. Nauk SSSR, Ser. Mat. 42, 1288-1321 (1978; Zbl 0408.12002)].
