Idele-class H¹ and the kernel of Brauer localization #
Let L/K be a finite Galois extension of number fields with Galois group G, embedded in Kˢ
by σ. The long exact cohomology sequence of 0 → Lˣ → I_L → C_L → 0
(principalIdeleShortComplex_shortExact) contains
H¹(G, I_L) → H¹(G, C_L) → H²(G, Lˣ) → H²(G, I_L).
Its first term vanishes by Hilbert 90 for ideles (subsingleton_groupCohomology_one_idelesRep), so
the connecting map ideleClassToUnitsH2 K L : H¹(G, C_L) → H²(G, Lˣ) is injective
(ideleClassToUnitsH2_injective), and its image is the kernel of the map induced by the principal
ideles (mem_range_ideleClassToUnitsH2_iff). A class x ∈ H²(G, Lˣ) dies in H²(G, I_L) exactly
when every localization of its Brauer class relBrInfl K L σ x vanishes
(map_unitsToIdeles_eq_zero_iff_brLocalization_eq_zero). Hence the split Brauer classes with
trivial localizations are exactly the images of H¹(G, C_L)
(brLocalization_relBrInfl_eq_zero_iff_mem_range_ideleClassToUnitsH2), and
0 → H¹(G, C_L) → Br(L/K) → ⨁_v Br K_v
is exact. In particular H¹(G, C_L) vanishes exactly when localization is injective on the
Brauer classes split by L (subsingleton_groupCohomology_one_ideleClassRep_iff). Since every
Brauer class is split by some finite Galois extension, the injectivity of Br K → ⨁_v Br K_v
(Albert–Brauer–Hasse–Noether) follows from the vanishing of H¹(Gal(L/K), C_L) for all finite
Galois L/K (brLocalization_injective_of_subsingleton_groupCohomology_one), which comes from
the fundamental inequalities. Equivalently, it follows from the vanishing of H¹ on the layers
V ◁ G_K of the idele-class formation globalFormation K
(brLocalization_injective_of_subsingleton_h1_globalFormation), the form in which the fundamental
inequalities give it.

The connecting map H¹(Gal(L/K), C_L) → H²(Gal(L/K), Lˣ) of the exact sequence
0 → Lˣ → I_L → C_L → 0.
Instances For
Exactness at H²(Gal(L/K), Lˣ): a class comes from H¹(Gal(L/K), C_L) exactly when it
dies in H²(Gal(L/K), I_L).
The connecting map H¹(Gal(L/K), C_L) → H²(Gal(L/K), Lˣ) is injective, since
H¹(Gal(L/K), I_L) vanishes by Hilbert 90 for ideles.
A split Brauer class has trivial localizations exactly when it comes from idele-class
H¹. For L/K finite Galois, embedded in Kˢ by σ, every localization of the Brauer class
relBrInfl K L σ x of x ∈ H²(Gal(L/K), Lˣ) vanishes exactly when x is the image of a class of
H¹(Gal(L/K), C_L) under the connecting map of 0 → Lˣ → I_L → C_L → 0.
Idele-class H¹ vanishes exactly when localization is injective on the Brauer classes split
by L. For L/K finite Galois, embedded in Kˢ by σ, H¹(Gal(L/K), C_L) = 0 exactly when
every x ∈ H²(Gal(L/K), Lˣ) whose Brauer class relBrInfl K L σ x has trivial localizations at all
places of K is zero.
The Hasse principle for Brauer classes, from idele-class H¹. If H¹(Gal(L/K), C_L)
vanishes for every finite Galois extension L/K, then a Brauer class of K whose localizations
at all places vanish is zero: Br K → ⨁_v Br K_v is injective.
The Hasse principle from the vanishing of H¹ on the idele-class formation: if H¹
vanishes on every layer V ◁ G_K of globalFormation K, then a Brauer class of K whose
localizations all vanish is zero: Br K → ⨁_v Br K_v is injective.
