Kummer classes unramified outside S and the Selmer group K(S, n) #
Let R be a Dedekind domain with finite residue fields and fraction field K, let n be a natural
number invertible in K, and let S be a set of height-one primes of R containing every prime
that divides n. For each prime v fix a K-embedding τ v : Kˢ → K_vˢ of separable closures,
along which a class of H¹(G_K, μₙ) restricts to a class of H¹(G_{K_v}, μₙ). A class is
unramified outside S when, for every v ∉ S, its restriction to K_v vanishes on the
inertia subgroup of K_v (TauCeti.unramifiedOutsideKummerCohomology).
Under the Kummer isomorphism Kˣ ⧸ (Kˣ)ⁿ ≃ H¹(G_K, μₙ) these are exactly the classes of the
Selmer group K(S, n), the power classes whose v-adic valuation is divisible by n at every
v ∉ S (TauCeti.kummerMap_mem_unramifiedOutsideKummerCohomology_iff). Indeed restriction to
K_v carries the Kummer class of a ∈ Kˣ to the Kummer class of its image in K_v
(TauCeti.explicitMap1_kummerMap), which is unramified exactly when n divides the normalized
valuation of a at v (TauCeti.explicitRes1_kummerMap_eq_zero_iff, using that v does not
divide n). In particular, under these hypotheses the condition does not depend on the chosen
embeddings τ.
Over a number field, the finiteness of K(S, n) turns this into the finiteness of the classes
unramified outside a finite S; see
TauCeti/NumberTheory/NumberField/Kummer/SelmerGroup.lean.

Instances For
A class is unramified outside S exactly when, at every v ∉ S, its restriction to K_v
vanishes on inertia.
Kummer classes unramified outside S are the Selmer group K(S, n). If n is invertible
in K and no prime outside S divides n, the Kummer class of a ∈ Kˣ is unramified outside
S exactly when the power class of a lies in K(S, n), that is, when n divides the v-adic
valuation of a at every v ∉ S.
The classes unramified outside S are the Kummer classes of K(S, n). If n is
invertible in K and no prime outside S divides n, a class of H¹(G_K, μₙ) is unramified
outside S exactly when it is the Kummer class of an element of Kˣ whose power class lies in
K(S, n).
