Tagged Frobenius fibres in a cyclotomic compositum #
Let L / K be Galois and let M = L(μ_m). When m is coprime to the discriminant of L, the
joint restriction isomorphism
Gal(M/K) ≃ Gal(L/K) × (ZMod m)ˣ
allows a Frobenius condition over M / K to carry both a prescribed element σ : Gal(L/K) and
a cyclotomic tag τ : (ZMod m)ˣ. This file packages the resulting prime fibre and proves that
distinct tags give disjoint fibres, whatever the base elements.
The point is slightly stronger than injectivity of the product equivalence. Equality of Frobenius
fibres is indexed by conjugacy classes, so one must show that two elements whose cyclotomic
coordinates differ cannot be conjugate. Applying the cyclotomic character reduces conjugacy to
equality because (ZMod m)ˣ is commutative.

commit 55a89985d47a3befcf6069aca1da250ff088b5c7, records the same disjointness inside the
private exists_cyclotomicCrossing_fibres in CebotarevDensity/Abelian.lean, where it follows
from a global tag recording the cyclotomic component of each prime's Frobenius; here it is proved
instead by passing conjugacy through the cyclotomic character.
The Frobenius fibre carrying a fixed base element and cyclotomic tag. Under the joint
restriction isomorphism Gal(M/K) ≃ Gal(L/K) × (ZMod m)ˣ, this is the prime fibre of the
conjugacy class represented by the inverse image of (σ, τ).
The number-field and Galois structures on M are consequences of the cyclotomic tower, so they
are installed internally rather than required from callers.
Instances For
The tagged fibre is the ordinary Frobenius fibre of the conjugacy class represented by the
corresponding element of Gal(M/K). This is the unfolding interface for applying results about
frobeniusPrimeSet; the instances on M are precisely those that its right-hand side requires.
Membership in a tagged fibre, unfolded into the corresponding Artin-class condition.
Distinct cyclotomic tags give disjoint Frobenius fibres. The fibres indexed by
(σ₁, τ) and (σ₂, υ) are disjoint whenever τ ≠ υ, whatever σ₁ σ₂ : Gal(L/K).
Disjointness is what allows the densities of the separate tagged fibres to be added, so this is the form consumed by lower-bound density estimates over the compositum.
Tagged fibres over a fixed base element are pairwise disjoint. For a fixed
σ : Gal(L/K), the fibres indexed by (σ, τ) are pairwise disjoint as τ : (ZMod m)ˣ varies.
