Extract

This paper is a continuation of (F3). In its first part we shall expand and extend the general theory of the earlier paper, while in the second part we specialize to number fields. The theory of resolvents and of the trace form, presented here, complements the more arithmetic theory of module conductors and module resolvents as described elsewhere (cf. (F4)). Both these papers will be applied in work on the connexion, for tame extensions, between Galois module structure of algebraic integers on the one hand, and Artin conductors and root numbers on the other hand (cf. (F5)). The results of the present paper are however not restricted to the tame case and, it is hoped, will subsequently be applied in a more general context.
