Let be an extension of -adic fields. The height of is defined by the formula , where is the discriminant exponent, the residue field degree, and the ramification degree of . Since is 0 if is tamely ramified, and positive otherwise, is a measure of the wild ramification of .
Now let be the sequence of subextensions of which correspond to the segments of the ramification polygon of . The set of heights for is .
