Restriction and corestriction of the Tate isomorphism of a class formation #
Restriction to an intermediate ground field preserves cup product with a degree-two class. Since the fundamental class restricts to the fundamental class of the smaller layer, the Tate isomorphism commutes with restriction in every integer degree. In degree minus two this is the square relating inclusion of ground levels to transfer of abelianized Galois groups.
Dually, the projection formula cor (x ∪ res u) = cor x ∪ u shows that corestriction from an
intermediate ground field carries cup product with the restricted fundamental class to cup product
with the fundamental class, so the Tate isomorphism also commutes with corestriction in every
integer degree. In degree minus two this is the square relating the norm between ground levels to
inclusion of Galois groups.
The range comparisons identify a layer's Galois group with its image in the larger group. The restriction and corestriction maps defined branchwise by degree agree with generic Tate restriction and corestriction through these comparisons, so the generic cup-product restriction law and projection formula apply to the existing finite-layer maps.
