Abstract
Henniart has computed the local constant ε (Ind LK 1) for an extensionL overK of local fields of odd degree in [H]. In this paper, we show that his formula is a consequence of results of Serre [S4] and of Deligne [D2]. Further we compute the local constant for an extension of even degree, assuming the residual characteristic is not equal to 2.
