(i) Show that each prime ideal in a number field divides a unique rational prime . Define the ramification index and residue class degree of such an ideal. State and prove a formula relating these numbers, for all prime ideals dividing a given rational prime , to the degree of over .
(ii) Show that if is a primitive th root of unity then . Deduce that if , where and are distinct primes, then is a unit in .
(iii) Show that if where is prime, then any prime ideal of dividing has ramification index at least . Deduce that .
