Norm limitation and uniqueness for global norm subgroups #

Let K be a number field. Global reciprocity, in the form of the global class formation globalClassFormation K, controls which open normal subgroups of G_K a global norm subgroup N_{L/K}(C_L) ≤ C_K can see:

These are the norm-subgroup laws of an arbitrary class formation (ClassFormation.normSubgroup_maximalAbelianLayer, ClassFormation.normSubgroup_le_iff_of_isAbelian) applied to the global class formation and read on C_K through globalGroundOrderIso.

Global norm limitation. A finite Galois extension of a number field and its maximal abelian subextension have the same idele-class norm group.

For a finite abelian layer W and any finite layer V of a number field, inclusion of global norm subgroups is equivalent to inclusion of the layer subgroups. On class fields the latter inclusion is reversed.

Uniqueness of finite abelian global class fields. Two abelian layers of a number field with the same idele-class norm group are equal. The abelianity hypotheses are essential: by norm limitation, every layer has the norm group of its maximal abelian sublayer.

Idele-class norm groups detect embeddings of abelian extensions. For finite extensions L/K Galois and M/K abelian, N_{L/K}(C_L) ≤ N_{M/K}(C_M) exactly when M embeds in L over K. This is globalNormSubgroup_le_iff_of_isAbelian read on the fields cut out by the two layers.
