The local Euler characteristic #

For a finite smooth discrete Galois representation A over a nonarchimedean local field, this file defines the three-term local Euler characteristic

χ_F(A) = |H⁰(F, A)| |H²(F, A)| / |H¹(F, A)|.

Over a finite compatible extension F of ℚ_p (TauCeti.FinitePadicExtension) it also defines the normalized absolute value of the order of A,

φ_F(A) = ‖#A‖_F = |#A|_p ^ [F : ℚ_p] = p ^ (-[F : ℚ_p] v_p(#A)),

so that Tate's local Euler characteristic formula reads χ_F = φ_F.

Main results #

The three-term local Euler characteristic of a finite smooth discrete Galois representation, as a positive rational number: χ_F(A) = |H⁰(F, A)| |H²(F, A)| / |H¹(F, A)|.

Instances For

    Isomorphism invariance of the local Euler characteristic. Isomorphic representations have the same local Euler characteristic; finiteness and smoothness of B follow from those of A along the isomorphism.

    The normalized absolute value of the order of a finite Galois representation over a finite compatible extension F of ℚ_p, as a positive rational number: φ_F(A) = ‖#A‖_F = |#A|_p ^ [F : ℚ_p] = p ^ (-[F : ℚ_p] v_p(#A)), the right-hand side of Tate's local Euler characteristic formula χ_F(A) = φ_F(A).

    Instances For

      Isomorphism invariance of localCardNorm. Isomorphic representations have the same order, hence the same normalized absolute value of the order.

      Multiplicativity of localCardNorm. If 0 → A → B → C → 0 is an exact sequence of representations with B finite, then φ_F(B) = φ_F(A) φ_F(C): the order of B is the product of the orders of A and C, and the p-adic norm is multiplicative.
