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.
