Class formations at archimedean places #

At a real place, the absolute Galois group of the completion has order two. Hence its finite normal layers are either trivial or the unique quadratic layer. Inflation identifies the second cohomology of that layer with the real Brauer group, and the normalized invariant takes its nonzero class to 1/2. At a complex place, the absolute Galois group is trivial and every finite normal layer is trivial.

In both cases, the resulting invariant agrees with infiniteInvMap after inflation into the Brauer group. Thus the constructions have the normalization required by the global sum of local invariants, rather than merely providing abstract class formations on the same coefficient module.

The absolute Galois group of a real infinite completion has order two.

Every subgroup of the absolute Galois group of a real infinite completion is either trivial or the whole group.

The trivial open normal subgroup of the two-element absolute Galois group at a real place.

Instances For

    A finite normal layer over a real infinite completion is either trivial or the unique quadratic layer from the trivial subgroup to the full absolute Galois group.

    The unique nontrivial layer at a real place has degree two.

    The invariant of a finite normal layer at a real place. It is zero on a trivial layer; on the unique quadratic layer it is the archimedean invariant after inflation into the Brauer group.

      The invariant of a trivial real-place layer is zero.

      On the unique quadratic layer, realLayerInv is the archimedean Brauer invariant after inflation.

      The invariant on every finite normal layer at a real place is injective.

      The range of the invariant on a real-place layer is the torsion subgroup of order equal to the degree of that layer.

      Real-place invariants have the class-formation restriction law.

      Real-place invariants have the class-formation inflation law.

      The invariant at a real place is zero on zero and 1/2 on every nonzero finite-layer cohomology class.

      The class formation at a real place. Its invariant on the unique nontrivial layer is the archimedean Brauer invariant after inflation, and it is zero on every trivial layer.

        The invariant of the real-place class formation is realLayerInv.

        The invariant of the real-place class formation is the normalized archimedean Brauer invariant of the inflated class.

        The absolute Galois group of a complex infinite completion is trivial.

        The absolute Galois group of an infinite completion is finite: it has order two at a real place and is trivial at a complex place.

        The class formation at a complex place. The absolute Galois group of the completion is trivial, so the units formation carries the canonical class formation with zero invariant maps.

        Instances For
          @[simp]

          The invariant of the complex-place class formation is zero on every layer.

          The invariant of the complex-place class formation is the archimedean Brauer invariant of the inflated class. This is the complex-place specialization of the normalization required of infiniteClassFormation.

          Every finite-layer Artin map of the complex-place class formation is zero.

          The class formation at an infinite place. This selects the real or complex construction according to the type of the place.

          Instances For

            The invariant of the archimedean class formation is the archimedean Brauer invariant after inflation, at both real and complex places.

            At a real place Gal(AlgebraicClosure K_w/K_w) has order two.

            At a real place an automorphism of AlgebraicClosure K_w with trivial class in G_{K_w}^ab is the identity: G_{K_w} has order two, so its closed commutator subgroup is trivial.

            At a real place every element of G_{K_w}^ab squares to 1, since G_{K_w} has order two.

            At a real place any two nontrivial elements of G_{K_w}^ab are equal, since G_{K_w} has order two.

            At a real place an element of AlgebraicClosure K_w fixed by a nontrivial automorphism lies in K_w: that automorphism and the identity are all of G_{K_w}, which has order two.

            At a real place a nontrivial automorphism of AlgebraicClosure K_w inverts every root of unity: writing z = a + b i with a, b ∈ K_w, the product z σ(z) = a² + b² is a nonnegative root of unity in K_w ≅ ℝ, hence 1.
