We recall that the $p$-th power map $\sigma \colon \FF_{p^f} \to \FF_{p^f}$ is an automorphism, and it's called the Frobenius map on $\FF_{p^f}$.
We can try to extend this map to a $K \to K$ map by $\sigma(x) = x^p$, unfortunately this doesn't make it a field automorphism.

Surprisingly, it is nevertheless possible to extend this to some field automorphism $\sigma \in \Gal(K/\QQ)$.

If $p$ is unramified, then one can show there
is a unique $\sigma \in \Gal(K/\QQ)$ such that
$\sigma(\alpha) \equiv \alpha^p \pmod{\kp}$ for every prime $p$.

\begin{proof}
TODO: Broken proof. Needs repair.
First, $K/\QQ$ is normal, so $\Frob_{\kP}$ fixes the image of $K$, that is,
$\Frob_{\kP} \restrict{K} \in \Gal(K/\QQ)$ is well-defined.

We have the natural map $\phi \colon \OO_K \to \OO_L \to \OO_L/\kP$, and the quotient map $q\colon \OO_K \to \OO_K / \kp$. Since $\kP \subseteq \kP$, then $\phi$ factors through $q$ to give a natural field homomorphism $\OO_K / \kp \to \OO_L / \kP$.

Since a field homomorphism is injective, $\Frob_{\kP}$ induces the power-of-$p$ map on $\OO_L / \kP$, and everything is commutative, the theorem follows.
\end{proof}

How are $\Gal\left( (\OO_K/\kp) / \FF_p \right)$
and $\Gal(K/\QQ)$ related?
\end{quote}
Absurdly enough, there is an explicit answer:
\textbf{it's just the stabilizer of $\kp$, at least when
$p$ is unramified}.

First, every $\sigma \in \Gal(K/\QQ)$ induces an automorphism of $\OO_K$, which induces a map
$\OO_K \to \OO_K/\kp$ by
\[ \alpha \mapsto \sigma(\alpha) \pmod\kp. \]
For this to induce a map in $\Gal\left( (\OO_K/\kp) / \FF_p \right)$, it's necessary that $\sigma(\kp) \subseteq \kp$. So, we consider the subset of automorphisms that fixes $\kp$:
\begin{definition}
Let $D_\kp \subseteq \Gal(K/\QQ)$ be the stabilizer of $\kp$, that is
\[ D_\kp \defeq \left\{ \sigma \in \Gal(K/\QQ) \mid \sigma\kp = \kp \right\}. \]
We say $D_\kp$ is the \vocab{decomposition group} of $\kp$.
\end{definition}
Then, every $\sigma \in D_\kp$ induces an automorphism of $\OO_K / \kp$ by
\[ \alpha \mapsto \sigma(\alpha) \pmod\kp. \]
Note that this definition is in fact equivalent to the set of $\sigma$ such that $\sigma(\kp) \subseteq \kp$,
because a field isomorphism fixes the ideal norm $\Norm(\kp)$.

So there's a natural map
\[ D_\kp \taking\theta \Gal\left( (\OO_K/\kp) / \FF_p \right) \]
by declaring $\theta(\sigma)$ to just be ``$\sigma \pmod \kp$''.
The fact that $\sigma \in D_\kp$ (i.e.\ $\sigma$ fixes $\kp$)
ensures this map is well-defined.

Surprisingly, every element of $\Gal\left( (\OO_K/\kp) / \FF_p \right)$ arises this way from some field automorphism of $K$.
