The Tate cohomology of the finite S-ideles #

Let L/K be a cyclic extension of number fields and S a finite set of finite places of K containing every place ramified in L. The finite S-ideles of L are, as a representation of Gal(L/K), the product of the semi-local factors ∏_{w ∣ v} L_wˣ for v ∈ S and ∏_{w ∣ v} 𝒪_wˣ for v ∉ S (TauCeti.finiteSIdelesPiIso). The factors of the second kind have no Tate cohomology, because v is unramified. Since Tate cohomology commutes with products (TauCeti.TateCohomology.linearEquivPi), the Tate cohomology of the finite S-ideles is, in every degree,

H-hat^n(Gal(L/K), I_{L,S}^f) ≃ ∏_{v ∈ S} H-hat^n(Gal(L/K), (K_v ⊗[K] L)ˣ),

and by Shapiro's lemma each factor is H-hat^n(Gal(L_w/K_v), L_wˣ) for a place w above v (semilocalUnitsTateCohomologyIso). In degree 2 this is the finite part of the description of H²(Gal(L/K), I_L) by the local Brauer groups Br(L_w/K_v) (Milne, Class Field Theory, VII, Proposition 2.5), through which the local invariants of an idele class are read.

A factor of the first kind has Herbrand quotient the local degree [L_w : K_v], and the Herbrand quotient of a product is the product of the Herbrand quotients of the factors outside a cohomologically trivial part (TauCeti.TateCohomology.herbrandQuotient_pi), so

h(I_{L,S}^f) = ∏_{v ∈ S} [L_w : K_v].

Together with the factors at the infinite places, this is the Herbrand quotient of the S-ideles I_{L,S}, the idelic half of the computation h(C_L) = [L : K] of the Herbrand quotient of the idele classes, from which the first fundamental inequality for cyclic extensions follows.

Instances For

    The Tate cohomology of the finite S-ideles is the product of the semi-local Tate cohomologies at the places of S. For a cyclic extension L/K of number fields and a finite set S of finite places of K outside which L/K is unramified,

    H-hat^n(Gal(L/K), I_{L,S}^f) ≃ ∏_{v ∈ S} H-hat^n(Gal(L/K), (K_v ⊗[K] L)ˣ)

    in every degree n : ℤ, the component at v being induced by the semi-local component at v (finiteSIdelesTateCohomologyEquiv_apply). The factors at the places outside S drop out, having no Tate cohomology. By Shapiro's lemma (semilocalUnitsTateCohomologyIso) each factor is the Tate cohomology H-hat^n(Gal(L_w/K_v), L_wˣ) of the completion at a place w above v.

    Instances For

      The Herbrand quotient of the finite S-ideles. For a cyclic extension L/K of number fields and a finite set S of finite places of K outside which L/K is unramified, the finite S-ideles of L have Herbrand quotient ∏_{v ∈ S} [L_w : K_v] as a representation of Gal(L/K), for any choice of a place w of L above each v ∈ S.

      For a cyclic extension L/K of number fields unramified outside a finite set S of finite places of K, the Herbrand quotient of the finite S-ideles is nonzero: by herbrandQuotient_finiteSIdelesRep it is a product of local degrees.

      The Tate cohomology of the finite S-ideles is finite in degrees 0 and -1, for a cyclic extension L/K of number fields unramified outside a finite set S of finite places of K.
