# Good examples of (families of) tamely ramified extensions?

I am looking for examples of families of tamely ramified extensions of $\mathbb{Q}$.

Thanks.

• What does tame ramification mean in the context of $\mathbb{Q}$? – rondo9 Jun 21 '15 at 16:36
• @rondo: I fear none (assuming of course the possibility of being wrong) – Piquito Jun 21 '15 at 17:55
• Fixing an integer $n$, if $f(x)$ is a monic degree $n$ polynomial which is separable (no common factors) modulo $p$ for all primes $p \le n$, then the corresponding extension given by a root of $f(x)$ (or the splitting field) will be tamely ramified everywhere, because it will be unramified at $p \le n$ by construction, and will be tamely ramified at $p > n$ because $p \nmid n!$. For example, if $n = 2$, then any quadratic congruent to $x^2+x+1$ modulo $2$ will work, and if $n = 3$, then any cubic congruent to $x^3+x+1$ modulo $6$ will work. – Epargyreus Jun 22 '15 at 0:38
• Another type of example: the cyclotomic fields $\mathbf{Q}(\zeta_N)$ for squarefree $N$. – Epargyreus Jun 22 '15 at 0:39
