The auxiliary Kummer idele subgroup #
Let S and T be finite sets of finite places of a number field K. The auxiliary Kummer
idele subgroup E_{S,T} consists of the ideles that are n-th powers at S and at every
infinite place, arbitrary at T \ S, and integral units outside S ∪ T; the power condition
continues to apply on S ∩ T. This is the subgroup used in the Kummer proof of the second
fundamental inequality. The freedom at T \ S is what allows those places to split completely
in the extension under consideration.
The index of E_{S,T} in the group of (S ∪ T)-ideles is the product of the power-class
counts at S and at the infinite places. If K contains the n-th roots of unity and S
contains the places above n, the product formula evaluates this index as
n ^ (2 * (#S + r₁ + r₂)).
If an extension has exponent dividing n, splits at T \ S, and is unramified outside S ∪ T,
then E_{S,T} consists of idele norms. Thus its image in the idele class group is contained in
the idele-class norm subgroup.

If K contains the n-th roots of unity and S contains every place above n, then the
relative index of E_{S,T} in the (S ∪ T)-ideles is
n ^ (2 * (#S + r₁ + r₂)).
The auxiliary Kummer ideles are norms. If the exponent of Gal(L/K) divides n, the
places in T \ S split locally in L, and L/K is unramified outside S ∪ T, then every idele
in E_{S,T} is a norm from L.
Under the split and unramified hypotheses, the image of E_{S,T} in the idele class group
is contained in the idele-class norm subgroup.
The idele-class norm index divides the index of the image of E_{S,T}.
