Numerical forms of the local Euler characteristic formula #
For a finite smooth discrete Galois representation over a finite extension of ℚ_p, the local
Euler characteristic and the normalized absolute value of the coefficient order are positive
rational numbers. This file converts their equality into the usual cardinality formula
#H¹ = #H⁰ · #H² · p ^ ([F : ℚ_p] v_p(#A)).
For coefficients over 𝔽_p, it also converts that equality into the corresponding formula in
dimensions. These results separate the final elementary calculation from the representation-
theoretic proof of the equality of the two invariants.
