Affine models of an extension: the fundamental identity #
Let F' / k' be a finite extension of the field extension F / k, let R be an affine model of
F / k and let S be an affine model of F' / k' that is an R-algebra: a pair of charts of the
two curves, compatible with the covering map. This file identifies the extension-theoretic data of
a place of F' / k' finite on S with Mathlib's ideal-theoretic data of its centre, and deduces
the fundamental identity ∑_{P' ∣ P} e(P' ∣ P) · f(P' ∣ P) = [F' : F] at every place of the
finite chart, supplying the inequality of
TauCeti/FieldTheory/FunctionField/Place/Extension/Fibre.lean with its converse.
The dictionary is exact at each of the three items. The centre on S of a place of F' / k' lies
over the centre on R of the place of F / k it restricts to; the ramification index e(P' ∣ P),
defined as the factor by which the order function scales, is Ideal.ramificationIdx, because
Mathlib's IsDedekindDomain.HeightOneSpectrum.valuation_liesOver scales the adic valuations by
exactly that factor; and the relative degree f(P' ∣ P) = [F'_{P'} : F_P] is Ideal.inertiaDeg,
because the residue field of a place finite on a model is the model modulo the centre, compatibly
on both levels. Summing over the fibre is then Mathlib's
Ideal.sum_ramification_inertia_eq_finrank for the finite extension of Dedekind domains S / R,
transported to the fraction fields.
The identity is stated at the place of a height one prime of R; the places outside the finite
chart of R are reached by the same statement at a second model, as in Stichtenoth's two-chart
device.

The restriction of a place finite on S is finite on R: an element of R, viewed in
F', may equally be read along R → S.
The centre on S of a place of F' / k' finite on S lies over the centre on R of its
restriction to F (Stichtenoth, Proposition 3.1.4 at the level of the models): a function of R
vanishes at the restriction exactly when its image in S vanishes at the place.
The ramification index of a place over its restriction is the ramification index of the
centres (Stichtenoth, Definition 3.1.5): both measure how the adic valuation of the centre on S
scales the adic valuation of the centre on R. The base field k does not appear in the
statement — TauCeti.Place.ramificationIdx does not depend on it — but it is what names the
place of F / k that P' lies over.
The relative degree of a place over its restriction is the residue degree of the centres
(Stichtenoth, Definition 3.1.5): the residue field of a place finite on a model is the model modulo
the centre of the place, and the two identifications are compatible with R → S.
A place of F' / k' lying over the place of a height one prime of R is finite on S: it is
finite on R, and S is integral over R.
The ramification index over F of the place of a height one prime 𝔓 of S is the
ramification index of 𝔓 over R.
A place of F' / k' lies over the place of a height one prime of R as soon as the
corresponding prime of S lies over it.
The relative degree over F of the place of a height one prime 𝔓 of S is the residue
degree of 𝔓 over R.
The places of F' / k' lying over the place of a height one prime 𝔭 of R are exactly
the primes of S lying over 𝔭 (Stichtenoth, Section III.2): a place over the place of 𝔭 is
finite on S, and its centre is a prime over 𝔭.

Instances For
The fundamental identity (Stichtenoth, Theorem 3.1.11) at a place of the finite chart of a
model: the ramification indices and relative degrees of the places of F' / k' lying over the
place of a height one prime 𝔭 of R satisfy ∑ e(P' ∣ P) · f(P' ∣ P) = [F' : F]. Together with
TauCeti.Place.sum_ramificationIdx_mul_relativeDegree_le_finrank this settles the fibre over every
place that lies on some affine model.
