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.

The cardinality form of the local Euler characteristic formula. Equality of the local Euler characteristic and the normalized absolute value of the coefficient order implies #H¹ = #H⁰ · #H² · p ^ ([F : ℚ_p] v_p(#A)).

The 𝔽_p-dimension form of the local Euler characteristic formula. Equality of the local Euler characteristic and the normalized absolute value of the coefficient order implies dim H¹ = dim H⁰ + dim H² + [F : ℚ_p] dim A.
