14 pages; new section 6 on the contribution of cyclic extensions to Serre's degree-p mass formula
Scientific paper
We show how the ramification filtration on the maximal elementary abelian p-extension (p prime) on a local number field of residual characteristic p can be derived using only Kummer theory and a certain orthogonality relation for the Kummer pairing, even in the absence of a primitive p-th root of 1; the case of other local fields with finite residue fields was treated earlier. In all cases, we compute the contribution of cyclic extensions to Serre's degree-$p$ mass formula.
