Introduction. Let S be the integral closure of a complete discrete rank one valuation ring R in a finite Galois extension of the quotient field of R, and let G denote the Galois group of the quotient field extension. Auslander and Rim have shown in [3] that the trivial crossed product Δ (1, S, G) is an hereditary order if and only if 5 is a tamely ramified extension of R. And the author has proved in [7] that if the extension S of R is tamely ramified then the crossed product Δ(f, 5, G) is a Π-principal hereditary order for each 2-cocycle f in Z2(G, U(S)). (See Section 1 for the definition of Π-principal hereditary order.) However, the author has exhibited in [8] an example of a crossed product Δ(f, S, G) which is a Π-principal hereditary order in the case when S is a wildly ramified extension of R.
