Tate's local Euler characteristic formula #
For a finite smooth discrete Galois module over a finite compatible extension F of ℚ_p,
Tate's formula identifies the local Euler characteristic with the normalized absolute value
of the coefficient order. Its cardinality form is
#H¹ = #H⁰ · #H² · p ^ ([F : ℚ_p] v_p(#A)); for 𝔽_p coefficients this becomes
dim H¹ = dim H⁰ + dim H² + [F : ℚ_p] dim A.
The formula follows by dévissage to prime coefficients and modular Artin induction, followed by Shapiro's lemma and the formula for a quotient of order prime to the coefficient prime.
