The local Artin symbols of a number field in a finite Galois extension #

Let L/K be a finite normal extension of number fields and v a finite place of K with completion K_v. The absolute local Artin map artinMap K_v : K_vˣ → G_{K_v}^ab, read in Gal(L/K)^ab by restricting along a place of L above v (TauCeti.decompositionRestrict), is the local Artin symbol at v

localArtinAt K L v : K_vˣ →* Gal(L/K)^ab.

In global class field theory it is the local factor of the global Artin map: the global Artin symbol of an idele is the product of the local Artin symbols of its components. It is compatible with restriction to a normal subextension (localArtinAt_comp).

For L/K Galois and a finite place w of L above v, the decomposition group of w is the Galois group of L_w/K_v (IsDedekindDomain.HeightOneSpectrum.decompositionEquiv), and the local Artin symbol at v is finite local reciprocity for L_w/K_v, read in Gal(L/K)^ab through that identification (localArtinAt_eq_map_normResidue). Consequently:

The last statement is the arithmetic content of the comparison between the global Artin map and the ideal-theoretic one at the unramified primes.

The local Artin symbol #

The local Artin symbol at a finite place v of a number field K, with values in the abelianized Galois group of a finite normal extension L/K: the absolute local Artin map of the completion K_v, read in Gal(L/K)^ab by restriction along a place of L above v (TauCeti.decompositionRestrict). It does not depend on the choice of that place.

Instances For

    The local Artin symbol through a representative. If τ ∈ G_{K_v} represents the absolute local Artin symbol of x, then for every K-embedding j : L → K_vᵃˡᵍ the local Artin symbol of x at v is the class of the automorphism σ of L with j ∘ σ = τ ∘ j.

    Compatibility with restriction to a normal subextension. For a K-embedding f : M → L of a finite normal extension M/K, the local Artin symbol at v in Gal(L/K)^ab, restricted to M along f, is the local Artin symbol at v in Gal(M/K)^ab.

    Norm functoriality in the ground field. Let K ⊆ E ⊆ L with L/K finite normal, and let w be a finite place of E above the finite place v of K. The local Artin symbol at v of the local norm N_{E_w/K_v}(y) is the local Artin symbol at w of y, read in Gal(L/K)^ab through the inclusion Gal(L/E) ≤ Gal(L/K):

    Art_v (N_{E_w/K_v} y) = Art_w y.
    

    It is the norm functoriality artinMap_norm of the absolute local Artin maps, read through the decomposition groups. The instances on L/E follow from those on L/K.

    Comparison with finite local reciprocity #

    The local Artin symbol is finite local reciprocity at a place above v. For L/K Galois and a finite place w of L above v, the local Artin symbol at v of x ∈ K_vˣ is the image of its norm residue symbol in Gal(L_w/K_v)^ab under the identification of Gal(L_w/K_v) with the decomposition group of w (IsDedekindDomain.HeightOneSpectrum.decompositionEquiv).

    Local norms have trivial local Artin symbol. For L/K Galois and w a finite place of L above v, the norms from L_w lie in the kernel of the local Artin symbol at v.

    The image of the local Artin symbol is the decomposition group. For L/K Galois and w a finite place of L above v, the local Artin symbols at v are exactly the classes in Gal(L/K)^ab of the elements of the decomposition group of w.

    For an abelian extension, the kernel of the local Artin symbol is the local norm group. If Gal(L/K) is commutative and w is a finite place of L above v, then x ∈ K_vˣ has trivial local Artin symbol at v exactly when it is a norm from L_w.

    Unramified places #

    The local Artin symbol at an unramified place is a power of Frobenius. If w is unramified over v and σ ∈ Gal(L/K) is an arithmetic Frobenius at w, then the local Artin symbol at v of x ∈ K_vˣ is the class of σ raised to the normalized valuation of x.

    Abelian extensions #

    At an unramified place of an abelian extension, the local Artin symbol is the Artin automorphism of the ideal-theoretic Artin map raised to the normalized valuation: the local Artin symbol at v of x ∈ K_vˣ is artinElement hab v hur ^ v(x).
