Contracting Frobenius ϑ and ψ from a cyclic fixed field #
Let L / K be a finite Galois extension of number fields, let C be a conjugacy class of
Gal(L/K), choose sigma ∈ C, and put E = L ^ <sigma>. This file proves the exact identity
∑_{𝔓 ∈ S_E, N 𝔓 ≤ x} log N 𝔓 = (#G / (#C * orderOf sigma)) * ϑ_C(x),
where S_E is the set of primes 𝔓 of E whose relative Artin class in L / E is represented by
sigma, that do not lie above ramifiedPrimes K L, and that have residue degree one over K.
There is no error term. Away from the ramified primes, a prime 𝔓 of the relative fibre has
residue degree one over K exactly when the prime 𝔭 of K below it lies in the Frobenius fibre
of C (NumberField.Chebotarev.inertiaDeg_eq_one_iff_under_mem_frobeniusPrimeSet); then
N 𝔓 = N 𝔭, and over each such 𝔭 there are exactly #G / (#C * orderOf sigma) of them
(NumberField.Chebotarev.fixedField_frobenius_fiber_card).
The identity concerns ϑ at residue degree one only. The other primes of the relative fibre have
residue degree at least two over ℚ or lie above ramifiedPrimes K L, so they are majorized by
the unrestricted sums appearing in NumberField.Chebotarev.frobeniusDiscard_isLittleO over
L ^ <sigma>. In general there is no such identity for ψ: a prime power 𝔓 ^ m with m ≥ 2
is selected by the m-th power of its Frobenius, and the prime of K below it need not have
class C. So the transfer of ψ is only asymptotic,
ψ_sigma^{L/E}(x) = (#G / (#C * orderOf sigma)) * ψ_C^{L/K}(x) + o(x),
obtained by removing the prime powers with m ≥ 2 on both sides, applying the exact identity to
what remains, and discarding the relative primes of higher residue degree or above
ramifiedPrimes K L.

The exact residue-degree-one contraction of Frobenius ϑ. Let sigma represent C and
let E = L ^ <sigma>. Sum log N 𝔓 over the primes 𝔓 of E of norm at most x whose relative
Artin class in L / E is represented by sigma.toFixedFieldAlgEquiv, that do not lie above a prime
of K ramified in L, and that have residue degree one over K. The result is exactly
(#Gal(L/K) / (#C * orderOf sigma)) * frobeniusTheta K L C x.
The natural-number division is exact by ConjClasses.card_carrier_mul_orderOf_dvd.
The weighted contraction of Frobenius ψ. Let sigma represent C and let
E = L ^ <sigma>. The relative Frobenius ψ of sigma in L / E is the fixed-field
multiplicity #Gal(L/K) / (#C * orderOf sigma) times frobeniusPsi K L C, up to o(x).
Unlike primeTheta_fixedField_eq_mul_frobeniusTheta, this is not an identity: the error collects
the prime powers with exponent at least two on both sides, the relative primes of residue degree
above one over K, and the relative primes above ramifiedPrimes K L.
Linear asymptotics of Frobenius ψ across the cyclic fixed field. Let sigma represent
C and put E = L ^ <sigma>. The relative Frobenius ψ of sigma.toFixedFieldAlgEquiv over E
is δ x + o(x) exactly when frobeniusPsi K L C is (δ / (#G / (#C * orderOf sigma))) x + o(x).
This is the weighted counterpart of hasDirichletDensity_frobeniusPrimeSet_fixedField_iff. It
carries an asymptotic for the fibre of sigma in the cyclic extension L / E down to the
class C over K, and conversely.
Chebotarev's weighted value, from the cyclic fibre. If the relative Frobenius ψ of
sigma over E = L ^ <sigma> is x / orderOf sigma + o(x), the value for a fibre of the cyclic
extension L / E of degree orderOf sigma, then frobeniusPsi K L C x = (#C / #G) x + o(x).
This is the weighted counterpart of hasDirichletDensity_frobeniusPrimeSet_of_fixedField: it
reduces the prime-number-theorem form of Chebotarev for an arbitrary class to the cyclic
extension L / E.
