Abstract:

Let $\mathbf{k}$ be a $p$-adic field. It is well-known that $\mathbf{k}$ has only finitely many extensions of a given finite degree. Krasner has given formulae for the number of extensions of a given degree and discriminant. Following his work, we present an algorithm for the computation of generating polynomials for all extensions $\mathbf{K}/\mathbf{k}$ of a given degree and discriminant.
