How far is an extension of $p$-adic fields from having a normal integral basis?

Abstract

Let L/KL/K be a finite Galois extension of pp-adic fields with group GG. It is well-known that OL\mathcal{O}_L contains a free OK[G]\mathcal{O}_K[G]-submodule of finite index. We study the minimal index of such a free submodule, and determine it exactly in several cases, including for any cyclic extension of degree pp of pp-adic fields.
