Abstract: We give a self-contained proof of local class field theory, via Lubin-Tate theory and the Hasse-Arf theorem, refining the arguments of Iwasawa's book. In the revised version, (i) positive characteristic case is included, (ii) the proof of base change is simplified, (iii) the construction of Artin map is simplified, and strengthened so that we start with an arbitrary Lubin-Tate group over complete maximal unramified extension.

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.
