Calculations in the generalized Lubin-Tate theory (Q2227877)

Let \(K\) be a finite extension of the \(p\)-adic field \(\mathbb{Q}_p\). Let \(q=p^f\) be the cardinality of the residue field of \(K\) and let \(\pi\) be a uniformizer for \(K\). For \(m\ge1\) let \(T_m\) be the unramified extension of \(K\) of degree \(m\) and let \(F_m(X,Y)\) be the Lubin-Tate formal group over \(T_m\) associated to \(f_m(x)=\pi x+x^{q^m}\). For \(n\ge1\) let \(T_m^n\) be the extension of \(T_m\) generated by the roots of the \(n\)-fold composition \(f_m^{\circ n}(x)\) of \(f_m(x)\). Also set \(T_m^{\infty}=\cup_{n=1}^{\infty}T_m^n\). In this paper the authors determine the (nonabelian) groups Gal\((T_m^n/K)\), Gal\((T_m^{\infty}/K)\), and Gal\((T_m^{ab}/K)\), where \(T_m^{ab}\) is the maximum abelian extension of \(T_m\). They also consider analogous problems in which \(T_m\) is replaced by a ramified extension of \(K\).
