The norm of the idele-class formation #
Let K be a number field, V an open normal subgroup of G_K and E its fixed field, a finite
Galois subextension of Kˢ/K. The layer V ◁ G_K of the idele-class formation
globalFormation K has top level C_E and ground level C_K (ideleClassLevelEquiv,
globalGroundEquiv). This file shows that its norm, the sum of the Galois conjugates, is the norm
map of idele classes N_{E/K} : C_E → C_K (norm_ideleClassLevelEquiv). Hence the norm subgroup
of the layer is the idele-class norm group N_{E/K}(C_E)
(globalGroundEquiv_mem_normSubgroup_iff), and its norm quotient is C_K / N_{E/K}(C_E)
(globalNormQuotientEquiv). For a finite Galois extension L/K given abstractly, the layer of
fixingOpenNormalSubgroup K L has fixed field the image E of any K-embedding of L, and E
has the same idele-class norm group as L, so its norm quotient is C_K / N_{L/K}(C_L)
(globalLayerNormQuotientEquiv).
The norm of the layer is computed on an idele a of E: by Formation.levelNorm_top_apply_coe
it is the sum of the translates of the class of a by coset representatives of V, which act
through their restrictions to E; these restrictions run through Gal(E/K) once each
(TauCeti.prod_restrictNormal_out). The product of the Galois conjugates of a is the idele norm
N_{E/K}(a) extended back to E (TauCeti.GlobalNumberFields.ideleExtension_ideleNormMap).
More generally, let W' ≤ W be any open subgroups of G_K, with fixed fields F ⊆ L; neither
W' need be normal in W nor L/F normal. The levels of W and W' are C_F and C_L
(ideleClassLevelEquiv), and the norm Formation.levelNorm between them is the norm map of idele
classes N_{L/F} : C_L → C_F (levelNorm_ideleClassLevelEquiv). The cosets of W' in W are
the F-embeddings of L into Kˢ, so N_{L/F}(y) is the product of the translates of y ∈ L
by their representatives (TauCeti.coe_norm_eq_prod_quotient_out); read in the normal closure M
of L/K, this product formula transfers to the ideles of L
(TauCeti.GlobalNumberFields.ideleExtension_ideleNormMap_of_algebraMap_norm_eq_prod), which is
the identity of the two norms. This is the form in which norms from finite extensions that are not
Galois, such as the extension cut out by an open subgroup of G_K that is not normal, are read on
idele class groups.
In particular, for an arbitrary layer V ◁ U of globalFormation K, whose ground subgroup U is
any open subgroup of G_K, with fixed fields F and L, the norm of the layer is
N_{L/F} : C_L → C_F (NormalLayer.norm_ideleClassLevelEquiv), and its norm quotient is
C_F / N_{L/F}(C_L) (NormalLayer.ideleClassNormQuotientEquiv). This is the form in which
statements about the layers of prime degree inside a given layer, whose ground fields need not be
K, are read on number fields.
This identifies the abstract norm quotient that the class formation axioms and the Artin map are
stated on with the concrete quotient C_K / N_{E/K}(C_E) that the fundamental inequalities and
global reciprocity are about.

The norm of the idele-class formation is the idele-class norm: if the fixed field of the
open normal subgroup V of G_K is E, then under the identifications of the top and ground
levels of the layer V ◁ G_K with C_E and C_K, the norm of the layer is the norm map of idele
classes N_{E/K} : C_E → C_K.
The norm to the ground level is the idele-class norm: if the fixed field of the open
subgroup W of G_K is the finite Galois subextension E, then under the identifications of the
levels of W and G_K with C_E and C_K, the norm from the level of W to the ground level is
the norm map of idele classes N_{E/K} : C_E → C_K.
The norm subgroup of the layer of E is N_{E/K}(C_E): an idele class of K lies in the
norm subgroup of the layer V ◁ G_K of the idele-class formation, where E is the fixed field of
V, exactly when it is the norm of an idele class of E.
The norm quotient of the layer of E is C_K / N_{E/K}(C_E): if the fixed field of the
open normal subgroup V of G_K is E, then the identification globalGroundEquiv of C_K with
the ground level of the layer V ◁ G_K of the idele-class formation descends to the quotients by
N_{E/K}(C_E) and by the norm subgroup of the layer (globalGroundEquiv_mem_normSubgroup_iff).
Instances For
globalNormQuotientEquiv E hV sends the class of c ∈ C_K to the class of c in the norm
quotient of the layer.
The norm subgroup of the layer of L is N_{L/K}(C_L): for a finite Galois extension
L/K, an idele class of K lies in the norm subgroup of the layer of
fixingOpenNormalSubgroup K L exactly when it is the norm of an idele class of L. The fixed
field of the layer is the image E of a K-embedding of L into Kˢ, and E and L have the
same idele-class norm group (range_ideleClassNormMap_eq_of_algEquiv).
The norm quotient of the layer of L is C_K / N_{L/K}(C_L): for a finite Galois
extension L/K, the identification globalGroundEquiv of C_K with the ground level of the
layer of fixingOpenNormalSubgroup K L in the idele-class formation descends to the quotients by
N_{L/K}(C_L) and by the norm subgroup of the layer
(globalGroundEquiv_mem_layerNormSubgroup_iff).
Instances For
globalLayerNormQuotientEquiv K L sends the class of c ∈ C_K to the class of c in the

Arbitrary layers #
The norm between two levels of the idele-class formation is the idele-class norm: if the
open subgroups W' ≤ W of G_K have fixed fields F ⊆ L, then under the identifications of the
levels of W and W' with C_F and C_L (ideleClassLevelEquiv), the norm
Formation.levelNorm from the level of W' to that of W is the norm map of idele classes
N_{L/F} : C_L → C_F. The extension L/F need not be normal, nor W' normal in W.
The norm of an arbitrary layer of the idele-class formation is the idele-class norm: if the
ground and top subgroups of a layer V ◁ U of globalFormation K have fixed fields F and L,
then under the identifications of its ground and top levels with C_F and C_L
(ideleClassLevelEquiv), the norm of the layer is the norm map of idele classes
N_{L/F} : C_L → C_F.
The norm subgroup of an arbitrary layer is N_{L/F}(C_L): if the ground and top subgroups
of a layer of globalFormation K have fixed fields F and L, an idele class of F lies in the
norm subgroup of the layer exactly when it is the norm of an idele class of L.
The norm quotient of an arbitrary layer is C_F / N_{L/F}(C_L): if the ground and top
subgroups of a layer of globalFormation K have fixed fields F and L, the identification
ideleClassLevelEquiv of C_F with the ground level descends to the quotients by
N_{L/F}(C_L) and by the norm subgroup of the layer.
Instances For
ideleClassNormQuotientEquiv sends the class of c ∈ C_F to the class of c in the norm
quotient of the layer.
