Ideals in wild extensions over tame group rings
by
Griff Elder
University of Nebraska at Omaha

Ambiguous ideals in Galois number field extensions, L/K, are natural modules over the group ring, Z[G] where G=Gal(L/K). In this talk we examine the structure of these modules under two assumptions:
1. The number theory is hard (the extension L/K is wildly ramified).
2. The integral representation theory is easy (the group ring is of tame type).
As a result, we focus on fully ramified local number field extensions that are cyclic of degree 8, or are biquadratic.
