Local–global compatibility of the global Artin map #
Let L/K be a finite Galois extension of number fields. The global Artin map
globalArtinMap K L ι : C_K → Gal(L/K)^ab is the abstract Artin map of the global class formation,
whose invariant is the sum of the local invariants. Its local factors are the local Artin symbols
localArtinAt K L v : K_vˣ → Gal(L/K)^ab at the finite places and
infiniteLocalArtinAt K L w : K_wˣ → Gal(L/K)^ab at the infinite places, the local Artin maps read
in Gal(L/K)^ab through the decomposition group of a place of L above.
The global Artin symbol of the class of an idele a is determined by these local factors: every
character χ : Gal(L/K)^ab → ℚ/ℤ satisfies
χ (Art [a]) = ∑ᶠ v, χ (Art_v a_v) + ∑_w χ (Art_w a_w)
(apply_globalArtinMap_eq_finsum). It is the character formula of the global class formation
on idele classes, ClassFormation.apply_artinMap_eq_finsum_of_inv_eq_ideleSumLocalInv, for the
idele a regarded as an invariant idele of Kˢ, whose coordinates are its components
(exists_ideleCoeffComponent_ideleExtension_eq,
exists_ideleCoeffInfiniteComponent_ideleExtension_eq), and with the local symbols read in
Gal(L/K)^ab by decompositionRestrict_mk_eq_restrictNormalHom_absoluteGaloisGroupMap.
Since characters separate the points of Gal(L/K)^ab, the restriction of the global Artin map to
the units of one completion, embedded in C_K as ideles concentrated at one place, is the local
Artin symbol there: globalArtinMap_local at a finite place, globalArtinMap_infiniteLocal at an
infinite place. No hypothesis of abelianity or unramifiedness is needed.

The local–global character formula for the global Artin map. For a finite Galois extension
L/K of number fields, embedded in Kˢ by ι, every character χ : Gal(L/K)^ab → ℚ/ℤ takes on
the global Artin symbol of the class of an idele a the sum of its values on the local Artin
symbols of the components of a, at the finite places and at the infinite places:
χ (Art [a]) = ∑ᶠ v, χ (Art_v a_v) + ∑_w χ (Art_w a_w).
Trivial local Artin symbols give a trivial global Artin symbol. For a finite Galois
extension L/K of number fields, embedded in Kˢ by ι, if every local Artin symbol of the
components of an idele a, at the finite and at the infinite places, is trivial, then so is the
global Artin symbol of the class of a.
Local–global compatibility at a finite place. For a finite Galois extension L/K of number
fields and a finite place v of K, the global Artin symbol of the class of the idele
concentrated at v with component x ∈ K_vˣ is the local Artin symbol of x at v, read in
Gal(L/K)^ab through the decomposition group of a place of L above v.
Local–global compatibility at an infinite place. For a finite Galois extension L/K of
number fields and an infinite place w of K, the global Artin symbol of the class of the idele
concentrated at w with component x ∈ K_wˣ is the archimedean local Artin symbol of x at w,
read in Gal(L/K)^ab through the decomposition group of a place of L above w.
