Abstract
In this chapter we shall be concerned with the fundamental classes of Theorem 3.1.17 and Example 3.1.21 associated to K 2 and K 3 of a local field in characteristic p > 0. We are going to calculate the Euler characteristic, in the sense of Example 2.1.8, of the 2-extension described in Theorem 3.1.22. For the calculations of this section we shall make things easier for ourselves by considering the tamely ramified case.
