Serre's \textit{formule de masse} in prime degree

Abstract: For a local field F with finite residue field of characteristic p, we describe completely the structure of the filtered F_p[G]-module K^*/K^*p in characteristic 0 and $K^+/wp(K^+) in characteristic p, where K=F( oot{p-1}of F^*) and G=Gal(K|F). As an application, we give an elementary proof of Serre's mass formula in degree p. We also determine the compositum C of all degree p separable extensions with solvable galoisian closure over an arbitrary base field, and show that C is K( oot pof K^*) or K(wp^{-1}(K)) respectively, in the case of the local field F. Our method allows us to compute the contribution of each character G oF_p^* to the degree p mass formula, and, for any given group Gamma, the contribution of those degree p separable extensions of F whose galoisian closure has group Gamma.
