The automorphism group acting on Weil differentials #
Let F' / F be an extension of fields and k a subfield of F. An F-automorphism σ of
F' acts on the repartition space A_F of F' / k (TauCeti.repartitionRepresentation), and
hence, contragrediently, on the k-linear forms on A_F:
(σ • ω) a = ω (σ⁻¹ • a).
This is Mathlib's dual representation Representation.dual. Since the action on repartitions
carries A_F(D) onto A_F(σ • D) and preserves the diagonal copy of F', it carries the Weil
differentials bounded by D onto those bounded by σ • D. So it preserves the space Ω_F of
Weil differentials, which becomes a k-linear representation of F' ≃ₐ[F] F'.
The action is compatible with all the structure of Ω_F. It is σ-semilinear for the
F'-vector space structure: σ • (f · ω) = σ f · (σ • ω). It moves local components with the
places: (σ • ω)_{σ • P} (σ x) = ω_P (x). The divisor of a Weil differential is equivariant,
(σ • ω) = σ • (ω). In particular the canonical class is fixed by every automorphism.

The action on linear forms on repartitions #
The action of an automorphism on linear forms is injective.
The action carries Ω_F(D) onto Ω_F(σ • D): a linear form on A_F vanishes on
A_F(D) + F' exactly when its image under σ vanishes on A_F(σ • D) + F'.
The action preserves the space Ω_F of Weil differentials.
The action on linear forms is σ-semilinear over F': σ • (f · ω) = σ f · (σ • ω).
The action moves local components with the places: (σ • ω)_{σ • P} (σ x) = ω_P (x),
because σ⁻¹ moves the repartition ι_{σ • P} (σ x) to ι_P x.
This is not @[simp]: TauCeti.repartitionDualComponent_apply and
Representation.dual_apply rewrite its left-hand side first.
The action on Weil differentials #
The automorphism group acting on the Weil differentials of F' / k: the restriction of
the dual of TauCeti.repartitionRepresentation to the stable subspace Ω_F, so that
(σ • ω) a = ω (σ⁻¹ • a).
Instances For
The action on Weil differentials is the action on the underlying linear forms.
The action on Weil differentials moves local components with the places:
(σ • ω)_{σ • P} (σ x) = ω_P (x).
The action on Weil differentials is σ-semilinear over F', for the multiplication
TauCeti.weilDifferentialSpaceMul that makes Ω_F an F'-vector space.
The divisor of a moved Weil differential #
The divisor of a Weil differential is equivariant: (σ • ω) = σ • (ω). The action
carries the divisors bounding ω bijectively onto those bounding σ • ω, preserving the order,
so it carries the greatest one to the greatest one.
The order of σ • ω at a place Q is the order of ω at σ⁻¹ • Q. This is the
coefficient form of TauCeti.weilDifferentialDivisor_repartitionRepresentation_dual.
Automorphisms fix the canonical class: moving a nonzero Weil differential by σ gives a
nonzero Weil differential, whose divisor is the moved divisor.
