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.

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
The value of localEulerCharacteristic in ℚ.
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
The value of localCardNorm in ℚ.
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.
