Character classes for the Artin map of a finite normal layer #
Let Γ = U ⧸ V be the Galois group of a finite normal layer. A character χ : Γ^ab → ℚ/ℤ is a
homomorphism Γ → ℚ/ℤ, which is a class in H¹(Γ, ℚ/ℤ) for the trivial action. The connecting
map of the sequence 0 → ℤ → ℚ → ℚ/ℤ → 0 of trivial Γ-modules sends it to a class
δχ ∈ H²(Γ, ℤ), which is read in the Tate group of degree 2. This is the class through which
Artin and Tate characterize the Artin map: χ(artinMap a) is the invariant of the cup product of
the degree-zero class of a with δχ.
As elsewhere in this development, ℚ/ℤ is the rational circle AddCircle (1 : ℚ).

The connecting class δχ ∈ H²(Γ, ℤ) of a character χ : Γ^ab → ℚ/ℤ of the Galois group
Γ of a finite normal layer, in the Tate group of degree 2: the image of χ, as a class in
H¹(Γ, ℚ/ℤ) for the trivial action, under the connecting map of 0 → ℤ → ℚ → ℚ/ℤ → 0. This is
TauCeti.TateCohomology.characterConnectingClass for the finite group Γ.
Instances For
The connecting class of a character of a layer is the connecting class of the character of its Galois group.
The connecting class is additive in the character.
The connecting class of the trivial character vanishes.
The connecting class of the negated character is the negated class.
The connecting class of a difference of characters is the difference of their classes.
The class a₀ ∪ δχ ∈ H²(Γ, A^V) used in the character formula for the Artin map, where a₀
is the degree-zero Tate class of a and δχ is the connecting class of the character χ.
The cup product lands in the cohomology of A^V ⊗ ℤ; the right unitor identifies this
coefficient representation with A^V, and positive Tate cohomology is then identified with
ordinary group cohomology.
Instances For
The Artin character cup evaluates as the Tate cup product of a₀ with δχ, transported
through the right unitor and the comparison between positive Tate and ordinary cohomology.
For the ground-level element attached to an invariant x ∈ (A^V)^{U/V}, the Artin character
cup a₀ ∪ δχ is the image of δχ under the map of coefficients ℤ → A^V, n ↦ n • x, written
as n ↦ n ⊗ x ↦ x ⊗ n ↦ n • x.
The Artin character cup is the carry class. For an invariant x of the coefficient
module of the layer and a character χ of its abelianized Galois group, the class a₀ ∪ δχ of
the character formula, for the ground-level element a corresponding to x, is the class of the
carry cocycle (g, h) ↦ ⌊χ'(g) + χ'(h)⌋ • x.
The Artin character cup vanishes on the norm subgroup.
The carry of a character of the layer V ◁ G, read on G. If ψ : G → ℚ/ℤ reads a
character χ of the abelianized Galois group of the layer V ◁ G through the projection
G → G ⧸ V, then the carry of χ at the images of g, h ∈ G is the carry of ψ at g, h.
