On the Brauer p-dimension of Henselian discrete valued fields of residual characteristic p > 0

Abstract

Let $(K, v)$ be a Henselian discrete valued field with residue field $\widehat K$ of characteristic $p$, and Brd$_{p}(K)$ be the Brauer $p$-dimension of $K$. This paper shows that Brd$_{p}(K) \ge n$, if $[\widehat K\colon \widehat K ^{p}] = p ^{n}$, for some $n \in \mathbb{N}$. It proves that Brd$_{p}(K) = \infty $ if and only if $[\widehat K\colon \widehat K ^{p}] = \infty $.
