RAMIFICATION IN NUMBER FIELDS GENERATED BY WITH A RATIONAL PRIME
If L is the splitting field of the polynomial and is a rational prime, then we have where D8 is the dihedral group of order 8. We calculate the discriminant of L without knowing any integral basis of L; also, we obtain the explicit ramification of any rational prime q such that For this, we first study the ramification in the intermediate quartic field We give generators of each ramified rational prime. In some cases, we can make use of Dedekind’s Theorem; in other cases, we use the relative extension theory.
