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 local norms
N_{L_w/K_v}(L_wˣ)lie in its kernel (normGroup_le_ker_localArtinAt), with equality whenL/Kis abelian (localArtinAt_eq_one_iff_mem_normGroup), and its image is the image of the decomposition group ofw(range_localArtinAt); - at a place unramified in
L, it is an arithmetic Frobenius atwraised to the normalized valuation (localArtinAt_eq_of_isArithFrobAt): a uniformizer goes to Frobenius (localArtinAt_uniformizer_eq_of_isArithFrobAt) and a unit to1(localArtinAt_eq_one_of_normalizedValuation_eq_one). For abelianL/Kthis Frobenius is the Artin automorphismTauCeti.NumberFieldArithmetic.artinElementof the ideal-theoretic Artin map (localArtinAt_eq_artinElement_zpow).
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 at v is the absolute local Artin map of K_v followed by
restriction to L.
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.
A uniformizer has Frobenius as local Artin symbol at a place unramified in L.
Units have trivial local Artin symbol at a place v below a place w of L unramified
over it.
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).
