- Let p be a prime number and K an algebraic number field. What is the arithmetic structure of Galois extensions L/K having p-adic analytic Galois group $Gamma$ = Gal(L/K)? The celebrated Tame Fontaine-Mazur conjecture predicts that such extensions are either deeply ramified (at some prime dividing p) or ramified at an infinite number of primes. In this work, we take up a study (initiated by Boston) of this type of question under the assumption that L is Galois over some subfield k of K such that [K : k] is a prime = p. Letting $sigma$ be a generator of Gal(K/k), we study the constraints posed on the arithmetic of L/K by the cyclic action of $sigma$ on $Gamma$, focusing on the critical role played by the fixed points of this action, and their relation to the ramification in L/K. The method of Boston works only when there are no non-trivial fixed points for this action. We show that even in the presence of arbitrarily many fixed points, the action of $sigma$ places severe arithmetic conditions on the existence of finitely and tamely ramified uniform p-adic analytic extensions over K, which in some instances leads us to be able to deduce the non-existence of such extensions over K from their non-existence over k.
