Lifts of idele-class cohomology to the ideles and their local invariants #
Let K be a number field and L/F a finite Galois layer inside Kˢ. The global invariant of a
class of H²(Gal(L/F), C_L) is to be the sum of the local invariants ideleSumLocalInv of a lift
of it to H²(Gal(L'/F), I_{L'}), for a refinement L'/F of the layer where such a lift exists.
This file shows that two such lifts, to two refinements, have the same sum of local invariants up
to the sum of the local invariants of a global Brauer class.
The comparison runs through the multiplicative group. The sum of the local invariants of the image
of a class y ∈ H²(Gal(L/F), Lˣ) under the principal ideles is the sum of the local invariants of
a global Brauer class, namely of the class of y in Br K obtained by inflation to the ground
subgroup and corestriction to G_K (ideleSumLocalInv_multiplicativeToIdeleH2). This holds
because inflation and corestriction are natural in the coefficient module
(ideleLayerCorInfl_multiplicativeToIdeleH2), and because the localization of idele cohomology
extends the localization of Brauer classes along the principal ideles
(ideleLocalization_principalIdele).
Two lifts y₁, y₂ to refinements L₁/F and L₂/F of one class are inflated to a common
refinement M/F (LayerRefinement.exists_commonRefinement). There they have the same image in
H²(Gal(M/F), C_M), since the comparison with idele classes commutes with inflation
(ideleToClassH2_cohomologyInfl), so they differ by the image of a class of
H²(Gal(M/F), Mˣ) (ker_ideleToClassH2). Since inflation preserves the sum of the local
invariants (ideleSumLocalInv_infl), the sums for y₁ and y₂ differ by the sum of the local
invariants of a global Brauer class
(exists_ideleSumLocalInv_eq_add_sumLocalInv_of_ideleToClassH2_eq). Together with the reciprocity
law of the global Brauer sequence, that the local invariants of a global Brauer class sum to zero,
this makes the sum of the local invariants of a lift independent of the lift and of the refinement.

The class over the absolute Galois group of a multiplicative class #
The class over G_K of a units-layer class: for a layer V ◁ U of the units formation,
inflation H²(U ⧸ V, ((Kˢ)ˣ)^V) → H²(U, (Kˢ)ˣ) followed by corestriction from the open subgroup
U to G_K. In field notation it carries H²(Gal(L/F), Lˣ) to Br K.
Instances For
The class over G_K of a units-layer class is the corestriction of its inflation.
Inflation and corestriction commute with the principal ideles: the class over G_K of the
image of y ∈ H²(Gal(L/F), Lˣ) in H²(Gal(L/F), I_L) is the image along the principal ideles
(Kˢ)ˣ → I_{Kˢ} of the class of y over G_K.
The local invariants of a principal class are those of a global Brauer class: the sum of
the local invariants of the image of y ∈ H²(Gal(L/F), Lˣ) in H²(Gal(L/F), I_L) is the sum of
the local invariants of the class of y in Br K.
Two lifts of one idele-class class #
Two lifts of one idele-class class have the same local invariants up to a global class. Let
y₁ and y₂ lift the inflations of one class x ∈ H²(Gal(L/F), C_L) to refinements L₁/F and
L₂/F of its layer. Then the sums of the local invariants of y₁ and y₂ differ by the sum of
the local invariants of a global Brauer class b ∈ Br K.
