Extensions whose norm group is a ray subgroup #

Let L/K be an extension of number fields whose idele-class norm group N_{L/K}(C_L) is the ray subgroup of a modulus π”ͺ, as for the ray class field of π”ͺ, or for β„š(ΞΆ_n)/β„š and (n)·∞.

A divisor 𝔫 of π”ͺ is admissible for L/K exactly when the transition map from the ray class group of π”ͺ to that of 𝔫 is injective (raySubgroup_le_raySubgroup_iff), so the conductor of L/K is the conductor of the trivial subgroup of the ray class group of π”ͺ (abelianConductor_eq_rayClassConductor_bot_of_range_eq).

If L/K is Galois, norm groups detect embeddings of abelian extensions (range_ideleClassNormMap_le_iff_nonempty_algHom), so a finite abelian extension E/K embeds in L exactly when its conductor divides π”ͺ (nonempty_algHom_iff_abelianConductor_dvd_of_range_eq).

The conductor of an extension whose norm group is the ray subgroup of π”ͺ is the conductor of the trivial subgroup of the ray class group of π”ͺ: for a divisor 𝔫 of π”ͺ, both conductors divide 𝔫 exactly when the transition map from π”ͺ to 𝔫 is injective.

A finite abelian extension E/K embeds in a Galois extension L/K whose norm group is the ray subgroup of π”ͺ exactly when the conductor of E/K divides π”ͺ: norm groups detect embeddings of abelian extensions.
