Modular induction for the local Euler characteristic #
Let F be a finite extension of ℚ_p and ℓ a prime. Tate's local Euler characteristic formula
χ_F(A) = φ_F(A) for finite smooth discrete ZMod ℓ-representations A of G_F reduces to
representations inflated from a finite Galois quotient G_F ⧸ V and induced there from a cyclic
subgroup of order prime to ℓ.
Both sides descend to homomorphisms on the Grothendieck group of (ZMod ℓ)[G_F ⧸ V]
(localEulerCharacteristicK0, localCardNormK0) with torsion-free target, and by the modular
Artin induction theorem a positive multiple of every class is a sum of classes induced from such
cyclic subgroups (TauCeti.eq_of_comp_indK0_eq_of_cyclic_coprime). The induced classes are those
of the finite-dimensional induced representations TauCeti.indFDRep, so the formula for these
inflated induced representations gives it in general. By Shapiro's lemma these are in turn
computed over the fixed field of the cyclic subgroup, where the order of the acting group is prime
to ℓ.
Main results #
TauCeti.ClassFieldTheory.localEulerCharacteristic_eq_localCardNorm_of_indFDRep: the local Euler characteristic formula for every finite smooth discreteZMod ℓ-representation follows from the formula for the inflations of representations induced from cyclic subgroups of order prime toℓ.

Modular-Artin reduction of the local Euler characteristic formula. If χ_F = φ_F holds
for the inflation to G_F of every representation of a finite Galois quotient G_F ⧸ V induced
from a cyclic subgroup of order prime to ℓ, then it holds for every finite smooth discrete
ZMod ℓ-representation of G_F.
