Surjectivity of the sum of local Brauer invariants #
The sum of local invariants in the global Brauer sequence
0 → Br K → ⨁_v Br K_v → ℚ/ℤ → 0
has an additive section supported at any chosen finite place. The local invariant is an
additive equivalence at that place, so every element of ℚ/ℤ is the invariant of a family
supported there. In particular, sumLocalInv is surjective.
The same calculation shows that a family of local Brauer classes can be adjusted at one finite place to have any prescribed total invariant, and that the adjustment is unique. This is a statement about local families; it does not assert that a family of total invariant zero is the localization of a global Brauer class.
The section uses DFinsupp.singleAddHom and the inverse of
TauCeti.ClassFieldTheory.invMap, the local invariant normalized by arithmetic Frobenius.
The single-place API takes an explicit decidable-equality instance, as DFinsupp.single does,
so its equations rewrite families constructed with any such instance. Consumers may supply it
with classical; the surjectivity theorem itself needs no decidable-equality instance.
