The image of the local Artin map and the Artin map into the Weil group #
Let K be a nonarchimedean local field. The absolute local Artin map artinMap K : Kˣ →* G_K^ab
has dense image, but it is not surjective. This file identifies its image: it is the subgroup
integralUnramifiedSubgroup K of classes whose unramified coordinate in ℤ̂ is an integer
(range_artinMap), which is also the image of the abelianized Weil group W_K^ab → G_K^ab
(range_weilToAbsoluteAbelianization). So a class in G_K^ab is an Artin symbol exactly when it
is the class of an element of the Weil group (mem_range_artinMap_iff).
Since W_K^ab → G_K^ab is injective, the Artin map therefore factors uniquely through W_K^ab,
as weilArtinMap K : Kˣ →* W_K^ab. Unlike artinMap K, it is surjective, and it is a quotient
map of topological groups: it is continuous, because the topology of W_K^ab is the one induced
by x ↦ (x, deg x) into G_K^ab × ℤ and the degree of weilArtinMap K x is the normalized
valuation of x, and it is open by the open mapping theorem, since Kˣ is σ-compact and W_K^ab
is locally compact. Its kernel is that of artinMap K.
The inclusion of the image in integralUnramifiedSubgroup K is the computation of the unramified
coordinate of an Artin symbol as the normalized valuation (unramifiedCoordinate_artinMap). For
the reverse inclusion, a class with unramified coordinate n ∈ ℤ differs from the Artin symbol of
an element of valuation n by a class with trivial coordinate, that is, by the image of an
element of inertia, and these are the Artin symbols of the units of 𝒪[K]
(map_artinMap_unitFiltration_zero).
None of this needs local existence, so it holds for every nonarchimedean local field, in every characteristic.

The image of the absolute local Artin map consists exactly of the classes in G_K^ab
whose unramified coordinate is an integer.
The Artin symbols are the classes of the Weil group. A class in G_K^ab is the Artin
symbol of an element of Kˣ exactly when it is the class of an element of the local Weil group
W_K.
The absolute local Artin map is not surjective: the unramified coordinate of an Artin
symbol is an integer, while the unramified coordinate takes every value in ℤ̂ ≠ ℤ.
The Artin map into the abelianized Weil group #
The local Artin map into the abelianized Weil group, Kˣ →* W_K^ab: the lift of the
absolute local Artin map artinMap K along the injection W_K^ab → G_K^ab
(weilToAbsoluteAbelianization_weilArtinMap), which exists because both maps have the same image
(range_artinMap, range_weilToAbsoluteAbelianization). It is surjective
(surjective_weilArtinMap), and in characteristic zero it is an isomorphism of topological groups
(localWeilArtinEquiv).
Instances For
The image of weilArtinMap K x in G_K^ab is the Artin symbol of x. Since
W_K^ab → G_K^ab is injective, this determines weilArtinMap K.
The degree of weilArtinMap K x is the normalized valuation of x.
The local Artin map into the abelianized Weil group is continuous.
Every class of the abelianized Weil group is an Artin symbol: the local Artin map
Kˣ → W_K^ab is surjective.
The local Artin map into the abelianized Weil group is open. This is the open mapping theorem
for the continuous surjection weilArtinMap K from the σ-compact group Kˣ onto the locally
compact group W_K^ab.
The local Artin map into the abelianized Weil group has the same kernel as the absolute local
Artin map, namely the intersection of the norm subgroups (ker_artinMap_eq_iInf).
