Abstract

Let p be prime. Let L/K be a finite, totally ramified, purely inseparable extension of local fields, [ L:K] =pn, n≥2. It is known that L/K is Hopf Galois for numerous Hopf algebras H, each of which can act on the extension in numerous ways. For a certain collection of such H we construct "Hopf Galois scaffolds" which allow us to obtain a Hopf analogue to the Normal Basis Theorem for L/K. The existence of a scaffold structure depends on the chosen action of H on L. We apply the theory of scaffolds to describe when the fractional ideals of L are free over their associated orders in H.
