The local class formation of a finite extension inside that of the base #
Let K be a nonarchimedean local field and E/K a finite extension, embedded in Kˢ by
iota : E →ₐ[K] Kˢ. The embedding identifies G_E with the open subgroup of G_K fixing
iota(E) (TauCeti.ClassFieldTheory.localFormationHom), and the units formation of E with the
restriction of that of K to this subgroup (TauCeti.ClassFieldTheory.localFormationRestrict),
so every finite normal layer of the formation of E is isomorphic to a finite normal layer of the
formation of K (TauCeti.ClassFieldTheory.localFormationLayerEquiv).
This file proves that this isomorphism matches the invariant maps of the two local class
formations (localClassFormation_inv_localFormationLayerEquiv): the invariant of a class in the
formation of E is the invariant of its image in the formation of K. Consequently the Artin map
of a finite normal layer V ◁ U of the formation of E (the local Artin map of the extension of
the fixed field of U cut out by V) is the abstract Artin map of the corresponding layer of the
formation of K (artinMap_localFormationLayerEquiv). Combined with the Artin–Tate
diagram TauCeti.ClassFieldTheory.ClassFormation.artinMap_groundNorm inside the formation of K,
this is what relates the local Artin map of E to that of K through the norm N_{E/K}. The two
ground-level facts this needs are also here: the isomorphism sends y ∈ Eˣ to iota y
(groundEquiv_localFormationLayerEquiv_localGroundEquiv), and the ground-level norm of the
corresponding restriction inside the formation of K is N_{E/K}
(groundNorm_layerRestriction_localFormationMap).
The comparison is first made for the local invariant TauCeti.ClassFieldTheory.subgroupInvMap of
an open subgroup U ≤ G_E and its image U' ≤ G_K
(subgroupInvMap_explicitMap2_localFormationHomInv), and for inflation from a layer to its ground
subgroup (explicitInfl2_localFormationLayerEquiv).

Inflation from corresponding layers #
The units of Eˢ as units of Kˢ form a compatible pair with localFormationHomInv.
The inverse of the coefficient equivalence of localFormationRestrict is the coefficient map
unitsCoeffMapSymm of Kummer theory: both send a unit of Eˢ to its image in Kˢ under the
identification Eˢ ≃ Kˢ extending iota.
Inflation commutes with the layer isomorphism localFormationLayerEquiv: inflating the
image of a class of a layer V ◁ U over E to the ground subgroup U' of the corresponding layer
over K is transporting its inflation to U along U' ≃ U and (Eˢ)ˣ ≃ (Kˢ)ˣ.
The unit y ∈ Eˣ, read in the ground level ((Eˢ)ˣ)^{G_E} of a layer V ◁ G_E and carried to
the corresponding layer over K, is the unit iota y of the level of Gal(Kˢ/iota(E)).
For an open normal subgroup V ≤ Gal(Kˢ/iota(E)) of G_K, the norm from the ground level
Gal(Kˢ/iota(E)) to the ground level G_K of the restriction layerRestriction_localFormationMap
sends iota x to N_{E/K} x.
The local invariant of an open subgroup of G_E #
The local invariant of an open subgroup of G_E is that of its image in G_K: for an open
subgroup U ≤ G_E with image U' under the embedding G_E → G_K, a class of H²(U, (Eˢ)ˣ)
transported to H²(U', (Kˢ)ˣ) along U' ≃ U and (Eˢ)ˣ ≃ (Kˢ)ˣ has the same invariant. For
U = G_E this is subgroupInvMap_explicitMap2.
The local class formations of E and of K #
The local class formation of E is that of K on corresponding layers: the layer
isomorphism localFormationLayerEquiv from a finite normal layer of the units formation of E to
the corresponding layer of the units formation of K matches the invariant maps of the two local
class formations.
The Artin map of a layer over E is the Artin map of the corresponding layer over K:
for a finite normal layer V ◁ U of the units formation of E, the Artin symbol of the image of
a ∈ ((Eˢ)ˣ)^U in the corresponding layer of the units formation of K is the image of the Artin
symbol of a under the induced isomorphism of abelianized Galois groups.
