Abstract

Let pp be prime. Let L/KL/K be a finite, totally ramified, purely inseparable extension of local fields, [L:K]=pn,  n2.\left[ L:K\right] =p^{n},\;n\geq2. It is known that L/KL/K is Hopf Galois for numerous Hopf algebras H,H, each of which can act on the extension in numerous ways. For a certain collection of such HH we construct "Hopf Galois scaffolds" which allow us to obtain a Hopf analogue to the Normal Basis Theorem for L/K.L/K. The existence of a scaffold structure depends on the chosen action of HH on L.L. We apply the theory of scaffolds to describe when the fractional ideals of LL are free over their associated orders in H.H.
