Abstract:
Starting with Hensel's generating set of principal units, we construct a base of the module of principal units, in the multiplicative group of a complete descrete valuation field with the residue field of prime characteristic we prove the uniqueness of the above base, and as a corollary, the uniqueness of the canonical Shafarevich base.
Key words and phrases:complete discrete valuation field, $p$-basis, Hensel's representatives, Shafarevich's basis.
