TauCeti.NumberTheory.ClassFieldTheory.Global.InvariantSum

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
    @[simp]

    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.

      The component of the localization map at a finite place v is base change to K_v.

      @[simp]

      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 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.
