The localization map and the sum of the local invariants #
Let K be a number field. A cohomological Brauer class x ∈ Br K has a local invariant
TauCeti.ClassFieldTheory.finiteInvAt K v x at every finite place v and
TauCeti.ClassFieldTheory.infiniteInvAt K w x at every infinite place w. This file proves that
only finitely many of the finite invariants are nonzero, names the finite set where they are,
brauerSupport K x, and defines the two maps of the global Brauer sequence
0 → Br K → ⨁_v Br K_v → ℚ/ℤ → 0:
the localization map brLocalization K : Br K → ⨁_v Br K_v, and the sum of the local invariants
sumLocalInv K : ⨁_v Br K_v → ℚ/ℤ. The direct sum is modelled as the product of the finitely
supported families Π₀ v, Br K_v over the finite places with the families Π w, Br K_w over the
finitely many infinite places. The composite sumLocalInv K ∘ brLocalization K is the sum of the
local invariants of a global class (sumLocalInv_brLocalization).
Finiteness is the classical argument. The class x is inflated from H²(Gal(E/K), Eˣ) for a
finite Galois subextension E of Kˢ (TauCeti.ClassFieldTheory.exists_relBrInfl_eq), so it is
represented by a cocycle c with finitely many values in Eˣ. Outside a finite set of places of
E, the place w is unramified over K, since it does not divide the different ideal, and all
values of c are w-adic units. For a finite place v of K below such a place w, the
localization of x at v is inflated from H²(Gal(E_w/K_v), E_wˣ)
(TauCeti.ClassFieldTheory.brBaseChange_relBrInfl), where the extension E_w/K_v is unramified
and c takes unit values, so the localization vanishes
(TauCeti.ClassFieldTheory.brBaseChange_relBrInfl_eq_zero).

Finiteness of the ramification set #
A global Brauer class is unramified almost everywhere: its local invariant vanishes at all but finitely many finite places.
The ramification set of a global Brauer class: the finite set of the finite places where its local invariant is nonzero.
Instances For
A finite place lies in the ramification set of x exactly when the local invariant of x
there is nonzero.
Outside its ramification set, the local invariant of a global Brauer class vanishes.
The localization map and the sum of the local invariants #
The localization map of the global Brauer sequence Br K → ⨁_v Br K_v: base change of a
global Brauer class to every completion, as a finitely supported family at the finite places
together with a family at the (finitely many) infinite places. The family at the finite places is
supported on the ramification set brauerSupport K x.
Instances For
The component of the localization map at a finite place v is base change to K_v.
The component of the localization map at an infinite place w is base change to K_w.
The sum of the local invariants, the map ⨁_v Br K_v → ℚ/ℤ of the global Brauer
sequence: the sum of the invariants inv_{K_v} of a finitely supported family of local Brauer
classes at the finite places, plus the archimedean invariants of a family at the infinite places
(sumLocalInv_eq_sum).
Instances For
The sum of the local invariants of a family of local Brauer classes may be computed over any finite set of finite places outside which the family vanishes.
The sum of the local invariants of a family supported at one finite place is its local invariant there.
The sum of the local invariants of a global Brauer class, the composite of the localization map with the sum of the local invariants, may be computed over any finite set of finite places containing the ramification set.
