The archimedean Artin maps #
Let w be an infinite place of a field K, with completion K_w, which is ℝ or ℂ. The
units formation of K_w carries the class formation infiniteClassFormation w, whose invariant is
the archimedean Brauer invariant infiniteInvMap w after inflation. Its absolute Artin map, read
through the identification of the ground level with K_wˣ and the comparison of the separable and
algebraic closures, is the archimedean Artin map
infiniteArtinAt w : K_wˣ →* G_{K_w}^ab,
into the topological abelianization of Mathlib's absolute Galois group, the target of the
nonarchimedean artinMap. It is built from the formation machinery and the archimedean Brauer
computation alone, with no reciprocity law.
On every layer V ◁ G_{K_w} it is the abstract Artin map of infiniteClassFormation w
(infiniteArtinAt_layer), so the character formula of a class formation gives the archimedean
character formula χ(Art_w x) = inv_w(x ∪ δχ) (character_infiniteArtinAt). This is the form in
which an archimedean Artin symbol enters a sum of local invariants.
The map is explicit. At a complex place G_{K_w} is trivial, so Art_w is trivial
(infiniteArtinAt_eq_one_of_isComplex). At a real place G_{K_w} has order two, so Art_w kills
the squares, which are the positive elements, while the Artin map of the quadratic layer is
surjective onto a group of order two; hence the kernel of Art_w is exactly ℝ_{>0}, the norm
group of ℂ/ℝ (infiniteArtinAt_eq_one_iff_of_isReal). On roots of unity a lift of Art_w(x)
therefore acts trivially for x > 0 and by ζ ↦ ζ⁻¹ for x < 0, that is, through the explicit
real cyclotomic symbol realCyclotomicSymbol (infiniteArtinAt_rootsOfUnity_of_isReal): the
nontrivial automorphism of K_w(i)/K_w sends a + b i to a - b i, so ζ σ(ζ) = a² + b² is a
nonnegative root of unity in K_w ≅ ℝ. In particular the p-adic cyclotomic character of the
Artin symbol of a negative element is -1
(abelianizedLocalCyclotomicCharacter_infiniteArtinAt_eq_neg_one_of_neg). Finally, the
archimedean Artin maps are functorial for the norm of a finite extension
(infiniteArtinAt_norm), the archimedean analogue of artinMap_norm.

The archimedean Artin map Art_w : K_wˣ →* G_{K_w}^ab at an infinite place w: the map
ClassFormation.fieldArtinMap of infiniteClassFormation w, that is, its absolute Artin map read
on K_wˣ and in the topological abelianization of Mathlib's absolute Galois group of K_w, as for
the nonarchimedean artinMap. On every layer it is the Artin map of
that class formation (infiniteArtinAt_layer); it is trivial at a complex place
(infiniteArtinAt_eq_one_of_isComplex) and has kernel the positive elements at a real place
(infiniteArtinAt_eq_one_iff_of_isReal).
Instances For
The archimedean Artin map is the absolute Artin map of infiniteClassFormation w: the
absolute Artin symbol of x ∈ K_wˣ, regarded as an element of the ground level
((K_wˢ)ˣ)^{G_{K_w}}, carried from Gal(K_wˢ/K_w)^ab to Gal(AlgebraicClosure K_w/K_w)^ab.
The archimedean Artin map on a layer. If σ ∈ Gal(AlgebraicClosure K_w/K_w) represents
Art_w(x), then for every open normal subgroup V of G_{K_w} the Artin map of
infiniteClassFormation w on the layer V ◁ G_{K_w} sends x to the class of the restriction of
σ.
The archimedean character formula χ(Art_w x) = inv_w(x ∪ δχ). If σ represents
Art_w(x), then for every character χ of the abelianized Galois group of a layer
V ◁ G_{K_w}, the value of χ at the class of σ is the archimedean Brauer invariant of the
inflation of the cup product of x with the connecting class of χ.
The archimedean Artin map is trivial at a complex place: the absolute Galois group of
K_w ≅ ℂ is trivial.
The kernel of the real Artin map is ℝ_{>0}: at a real place, Art_w(x) is trivial
exactly when the image of x in ℝ is positive, so that the kernel is the norm group of
ℂ/ℝ.
The real Artin map on roots of unity. At a real place, a lift σ of Art_w(x) acts on the
m-th roots of unity through realCyclotomicSymbol m at the image of x in ℝ: trivially for
x > 0, and by ζ ↦ ζ⁻¹, complex conjugation, for x < 0.
The cyclotomic character of the real Artin symbol of a negative element. At a real place,
the p-adic cyclotomic character of Art_w(x) is -1 for x < 0: a lift of the symbol inverts
every root of unity.
Norm functoriality at the archimedean places, the analogue of artinMap_norm: for a place
w of L over v, embedded by iota, the image in G_{K_v}^ab of a lift of Art_w(x) is
Art_v(N_{L_w/K_v} x). For ℝ/ℝ the norm is the identity, and for ℂ/ℝ and ℂ/ℂ both sides are
trivial, N(x) = |x|² being positive in the first case.
