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.

A choice of a place of L above each place of a finite set S of finite places of K.
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 component at v ∈ S of finiteSIdelesTateCohomologyEquiv is induced by the semi-local
component at v, the factor at v of finiteSIdelesPiIso.
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.
