Abstract

Let K be a number field defined by a monic irreducible polynomial F(X) ∈ ℤ [X], p a fixed rational prime, and νp the discrete valuation associated to p. Assume that F(X) factors modulo p into the product of powers of r distinct monic irreducible polynomials. We present in this paper a condition, weaker than the known ones, which guarantees the existence of exactly r valuations of K extending νp. We further specify the ramification indices and residue degrees of these extended valuations in such a way that generalizes the known estimates. Some useful remarks and computational examples are also given to highlight some improvements due to our result.
