Explicit local symbols for cyclotomic extensions of the rationals #
For a prime p and a positive modulus m, this file defines the explicit homomorphism
cyclotomicSymbol m p : ℚ_pˣ →* (ZMod m)ˣ.
Write m = p ^ j * d, with p ∤ d, and x = p ^ k w, with w ∈ ℤ_pˣ. The symbol is the
unique residue class which is w⁻¹ modulo p ^ j and p ^ k modulo d. The two reduction
theorems in this file characterize it without exposing its Chinese-remainder construction. The
real symbol is the sign, viewed in (ZMod m)ˣ.
These are the local factors in the elementary product formula for cyclotomic extensions of ℚ.
The normalization follows J. S. Milne, Class Field Theory, VII, Example 8.2.

The explicit local symbol of ℚ(μ_m)/ℚ at p. If m = p ^ j * d, with p ∤ d, and
x = p ^ k w, with w ∈ ℤ_pˣ, then the symbol is the unique class in (ZMod m)ˣ which is
w⁻¹ modulo p ^ j and p ^ k modulo d.
The two components are recorded by unitsMap_cyclotomicSymbol_primePow and
unitsMap_cyclotomicSymbol_of_coprime.
Instances For
On a prime-power divisor p ^ j of the modulus, the explicit local cyclotomic symbol is the
inverse of the reduction of the p-adic unit part.
On a divisor d of the modulus coprime to p, the explicit local cyclotomic symbol is
p ^ k, where k is the normalized valuation.
If an element of ℤ/(pⁿ N)ℤ reduces modulo pⁿ to the inverse of u and modulo N to
p ^ k, where N is coprime to p, then it is the explicit symbol of any x = p ^ k u.
The explicit local cyclotomic symbol is trivial near 1: it kills every unit x with
‖x - 1‖ < ‖m‖, that is, every unit congruent to 1 modulo a higher power of p than the one
dividing m.
The real cyclotomic symbol of a positive number is 1.
The real cyclotomic symbol of a negative number is -1.
