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.

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 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.
