Ramification index of an ideal vs. ramification index of a point

153 Views Asked by At

I am familiar with two uses of the term "Ramification index": 1. The ramification index in the context of algebraic number fields, i.e. the exponent of a prime ideal in the decomposition of a prime ideal it lies over, and 2. The ramification index in the context of Riemann surfaces and algebraic curves, spacifically in the context of the Riemann-Hurwitz formula. Is there a connection between the two?
