Finite-place permutation lattices #

For a finite Galois extension of number fields L/K and a finite set S of finite places of K, the permutation lattice on the primes of L above S has Herbrand quotient ∏ v ∈ S, [L_w : K_v]. Each factor is independent of the choice of a prime w above v. Cyclicity is not needed. This supplies the finite-place factors in the permutation lattice used to compare the logarithmic S-unit lattice with the augmentation hyperplane. For cyclic L/K and nonempty S, the sum-zero lattice on these finite places has quotient ∏ v ∈ S, [L_w : K_v] / [L : K]. Archimedean factors and the logarithmic comparison with S-units are separate from this finite-place calculation.

The calculation combines TauCeti.TateCohomology.herbrandQuotient_ofMulAction_sigma_of_isPretransitive with IsDedekindDomain.HeightOneSpectrum.card_stabilizer_eq_finrank_adicCompletion.

The permutation lattice on the canonical carrier of primes above a finite set of finite places has Herbrand quotient the product of their local degrees. The prime above each place may be chosen arbitrarily.

For a cyclic extension and a nonempty finite set of finite places, the sum-zero lattice on the primes above those places has Herbrand quotient the product of local degrees divided by the global degree. This is the finite-place augmentation calculation, not yet the Herbrand quotient of the S-units.
