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 πͺ, as for the ray class field of πͺ, or for β(ΞΆ_n)/β and (n)Β·β.
A divisor π« of πͺ is admissible for L/K exactly when the transition map from the ray class
group of πͺ to that of π« 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 πͺ
(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 πͺ (nonempty_algHom_iff_abelianConductor_dvd_of_range_eq).

The conductor of an extension whose norm group is the ray subgroup of πͺ is the conductor
of the trivial subgroup of the ray class group of πͺ: for a divisor π« of πͺ, both conductors
divide π« exactly when the transition map from πͺ to π« is injective.
A finite abelian extension E/K embeds in a Galois extension L/K whose norm group is the
ray subgroup of πͺ exactly when the conductor of E/K divides πͺ: norm groups detect
embeddings of abelian extensions.
