State Dedekind's theorem on the factorisation of rational primes into prime ideals.
A rational prime is said to ramify totally in a field with degree if it is the -th power of a prime ideal in the field. Show that, in the quadratic field with a squarefree integer, a rational prime ramifies totally if and only if it divides the discriminant of the field.
Verify that the same holds in the cyclotomic field , where with an odd prime, and also in the cubic field .
The cases and for the quadratic field should be carefully distinguished. It can be assumed that has a basis and discriminant , and that has a basis and discriminant
