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.

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.
