The étale index equals the index over iterated Laurent series fields
Let be an iterated Laurent series field over the complex numbers, and let . Here denotes the étale index and the index of the Brauer class.
Étale-index conjecture.
The conjecture concerns equality of the étale index and the index over -local fields of this form. The source gives supporting evidence from a result of Becher and Hoffman bounding the index by a power of the period, but does not state that the conjecture is resolved.
