The local invariants of an idele layer and their sum #
Let K be a number field and L/F a finite Galois layer inside Kˢ, cut out by open subgroups
V ◁ U of G_K. This file attaches to every class x ∈ H²(Gal(L/F), I_L) of the idele formation
ideleFormation K a local invariant at every place of K, and their sum. The class is carried to
the continuous cohomology of G_K by inflation to U = G_F and corestriction to G_K,
ideleLayerCorInfl K L : H²(Gal(L/F), I_L) → H²(G_F, I_{Kˢ}) → H²(G_K, I_{Kˢ}),
and there it is localized at the places of K (ideleBrLocalization,
ideleInfiniteBrLocalization) and evaluated by the local invariants invMap and
infiniteInvMap:
ideleLocalInvAt K L v x ∈ ℚ/ℤat a finite placev, nonzero only at the finitely many places ofideleSupport K L x;ideleInfiniteInvAt K L w x ∈ ℚ/ℤat an infinite placew;ideleSumLocalInv K L x, the sum of all of them: the sum of the local invariantssumLocalInv Kof the familyideleLocalization K (ideleLayerCorInfl K L x)of local Brauer classes, computed over any finite set of finite places containingideleSupport K L x(ideleSumLocalInv_eq_sum).
Inflation to a refinement L'/F of the layer does not change the class over G_K
(ideleLayerCorInfl_cohomologyInfl), so all of these are inflation-invariant
(ideleSumLocalInv_infl). Corestriction is what makes the invariants of a layer over F those
of places of K: classically, the invariant at v of a corestricted class is the sum of the
invariants at the places of F above v, so ideleSumLocalInv K L is the sum of the local
invariants over all places of F.
The sum of the local invariants behaves under the operations on layers as the invariant of a class
formation must. Restriction to an intermediate ground field E multiplies the class over G_K
by [E : F] (ideleLayerCorInfl_cohomologyRes), because corestriction from G_E to G_K
factors through G_F and corestriction after restriction is multiplication by the index; hence
Σ inv (res x) = [E : F] • Σ inv x (ideleSumLocalInv_res). Conjugation by g ∈ G_K does not
change the class over G_K (ideleLayerCorInfl_conjugateCohomologyIso), so it preserves every
local invariant and their sum (ideleSumLocalInv_conj).

The class over the absolute Galois group #
The class over G_K of an idele-layer class: for a layer V ◁ U of the idele formation,
inflation H²(U ⧸ V, I_{Kˢ}^V) → H²(U, I_{Kˢ}) followed by corestriction from the open subgroup
U to G_K.
Instances For
The class over G_K of an idele-layer class is the corestriction of its inflation.
Inflation to a refinement does not change the class over G_K. Both layers have the same
ground subgroup U, and corestriction from U does not see the identification of the two copies
of U.
Restriction multiplies the class over G_K by the relative degree: for a restriction of
a layer L/F to an intermediate ground field E, the class over G_K of the restricted class is
[E : F] times the class over G_K of the original one.
Conjugation does not change the class over G_K: for g : G_K, the conjugate class in
the conjugate layer gL/gF has the same class over G_K.
The local invariants #
The local invariant at a finite place v of an idele-layer class: the invariant of the
nonarchimedean local field K_v of the localization at v of its class over G_K.
Instances For
The local invariant at a finite place is the invariant of the localization of the class over
G_K.
The local invariant at a finite place vanishes exactly when the localization does.
The local invariant at an infinite place w of an idele-layer class: the archimedean
invariant of the localization at w of its class over G_K.
Instances For
The local invariant at an infinite place is the archimedean invariant of the localization of
the class over G_K.
The local invariant at an infinite place vanishes exactly when the localization does.
Inflation preserves the local invariants at the finite places.
Inflation preserves the local invariants at the infinite places.
Restriction multiplies the local invariants at the finite places by the relative degree.
Restriction multiplies the local invariants at the infinite places by the relative degree.
Conjugation preserves the local invariants at the finite places.
Conjugation preserves the local invariants at the infinite places.
Finite support #
An idele-layer class is unramified almost everywhere: its local invariant vanishes at all but finitely many finite places.
The ramification set of an idele-layer class: the finite set of the finite places where its
local invariant is nonzero: the support of the finite-place part of the localization
ideleLocalization K of its class over G_K.
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 an idele-layer class vanishes.
Inflation preserves the ramification set.
Conjugation preserves the ramification set.
The sum of the local invariants #
The sum of the local invariants of an idele-layer class: the sum sumLocalInv K of the
local invariants of the family ideleLocalization K of local Brauer classes of its class over
G_K. It is the sum of the invariants ideleLocalInvAt at the finitely many finite places of
ideleSupport and of the invariants ideleInfiniteInvAt at the infinite places
(ideleSumLocalInv_eq_sum).
Instances For
The sum of the local invariants is sumLocalInv K of the localizations of the class over
G_K.
The sum of the local invariants of an idele-layer class may be computed over any finite set of finite places containing its ramification set, together with all the infinite places.
The sum of the local invariants is inflation-invariant: inflating an idele-layer class to a refinement of its layer does not change the sum of its local invariants.
Restriction multiplies the sum of the local invariants by the relative degree: for a
restriction of a layer L/F to an intermediate ground field E,
Σ inv (res x) = [E : F] • Σ inv x.
Conjugation preserves the sum of the local invariants: for g : G_K, the conjugate class
in the conjugate layer gL/gF has the same sum of local invariants.
