The cohomological Hilbert invariants at all places #
Let K be a number field and a, b ∈ Kˣ. At a finite place v of K, the Hilbert invariant
finiteHilbertInvariantAt K v a b ∈ ZMod 2 is the cohomological local symbol of the images of
a and b in the completion K_v: the cup product of their Kummer classes in H¹(G_{K_v}, μ₂)
along the pairing of the primitive square root of unity -1, followed by the normalized local
invariant H²(G_{K_v}, μ₂) ≃+ ZMod 2, which sends a class of Brauer invariant 1/2 to 1. It is
the additive form of the quadratic Hilbert symbol (a, b)_v.
The finite invariant is bilinear and symmetric in a and b, and vanishes at every finite place
v not above 2 at which a and b are both units: there K_v(√b) is unramified, so every
unit is a norm from it. Only finitely many places are excluded, so the finite invariants of a fixed
pair have finite support, the finite set finiteHilbertSupport K a b. The sum of the invariants
over that set,
together with the archimedean invariants, is the left-hand side of Hilbert's reciprocity law.
The comparison finiteInvAt_kummerBrauerClass identifies every finite term with the localization
of the global Kummer-cup Brauer class, so this sum can be read in the global Brauer sequence.
At an infinite place, the corresponding invariant is defined by the same local cup product and
the archimedean invariant map; infiniteInvAt_kummerBrauerClass identifies it with the
localization of that same global class. At a real place it is 1 exactly when a and b are both
negative there, while at a complex place it is 0; it is again bilinear and symmetric.

The cohomological Hilbert invariant at a finite place v of a number field K: the local
symbol of the images of a, b ∈ Kˣ in the completion K_v, that is, the cup product of their
Kummer classes along the pairing of the primitive square root of unity -1, followed by the
normalized local invariant H²(G_{K_v}, μ₂) ≃+ ZMod 2.
Instances For
The Hilbert invariant at a finite place is the local symbol of the localized elements, for
any proofs that -1 is a primitive square root of unity and that 2 is a unit in K_v.
The normalization of the Hilbert invariant. Read in ℚ/ℤ through k ↦ k/2, the Hilbert
invariant at a finite place is the Brauer invariant of the cup product of the Kummer classes of
the localized elements.
The finite Hilbert invariant is the local invariant of one global Kummer-cup Brauer class. This identifies the finite terms of Hilbert reciprocity with Brauer localization.
The cohomological Hilbert invariant at an infinite place w of a number field K.
It is the ZMod 2-valued invariant of the localized global Kummer-cup Brauer class at a real
place, and zero at a complex place.
Instances For
At a real place w, the infinite Hilbert invariant of a and b is the invariant, in
Br ℝ ≃ ZMod 2, of the Kummer-cup Brauer class of their images in K_w, carried to ℝ along the
isomorphism K_w ≃ ℝ.
The infinite Hilbert invariant vanishes at a complex place.
The infinite Hilbert invariant is the invariant of the global Kummer-cup Brauer class:

A finite place lies in the support of the Hilbert invariants of a and b exactly when
their Hilbert invariant there is nonzero.
Outside its support, the Hilbert invariant of a and b vanishes.
