Splitting conjecture for the wild inertia extension of a local field
Let be unramified over , with maximal unramified extension and separable algebraic closure . Let be the wild inertia subgroup, and identify the tame quotient with . Splitting conjecture. The extension
splits, so that
The claim describes the inertia group as a semidirect product of its pro- wild part and its prime-to- tame quotient. The source notes that the splitting would be immediate for finite kernel or quotient, but does not state a resolution in the general profinite case.
