The tame-wild principle for discriminant relations for number fields

John W. Jones and David P. Roberts

Vol. 8 (2014), No. 3, 609–645
Abstract

Consider tuples (K1,,Kr) of separable algebras over a common local or global number field F, with the Ki related to each other by specified resolvent constructions. Under the assumption that all ramification is tame, simple group-theoretic calculations give best possible divisibility relations among the discriminants of KiF. We show that for many resolvent constructions, these divisibility relations continue to hold even in the presence of wild ramification.
