Abstract

Let K be a finite extension of Qp, let L/K be a finite abelian Galois extension of odd degree and let OL be the valuation ring of L. We define AL/K to be the unique fractional OL-ideal with square equal to the inverse different of L/K. For p an odd prime and L/Qp contained in certain cyclotomic extensions, Erez has described integral normal bases for AL/Qp that are self-dual with respect to the trace form. Assuming K/Qp to be unramified we generate odd abelian weakly ramified extensions of K using Lubin–Tate formal groups. We then use Dwork's exponential power series to explicitly construct self-dual integral normal bases for the square-root of the inverse different in these extensions.
