Abstract

We construct a tower of fields from the rings RnR_n which parametrize pairs (X,λ)(X,\lambda), where XX is a deformation of a fixed one-dimensional formal group X\mathbb{X} of finite height hh, together with a Drinfeld level-nn structure λ\lambda. We choose principal prime ideals pn(p)\mathfrak{p}_n \mid (p) in each ring RnR_n in a compatible way and consider the field KnK'_n obtained by localizing RnR_n at pn\mathfrak{p}_n, completing, and passing to the fraction field. By taking the compositum Kn=KnK0K_n = K'_n K_0 of each field with the completion K0K_0 of a certain unramified extension of K0K'_0, we obtain a tower of fields (Kn)n(K_n)_n which we prove to be strictly deeply ramified in the sense of Anthony Scholl. When h=2h=2 we also investigate the question of whether this is a Kummer tower.
