The unit filtration of a lattice #
Let L/K be an extension of nonarchimedean local fields, let Ο β 0 be an element of the maximal
ideal of πͺ[K], and let A β πͺ[L] be an πͺ[K]-submodule which is open, that is, contains a
power of π[L], and which satisfies A * A β€ Ο β’ A. Then for every j : β the set
1 + Ο ^ j β’ A = {1 + Ο ^ j β’ a | a β A}
is an open subgroup of LΛ£, contained in U(L, j + 1). These subgroups form a decreasing,
separated and complete filtration, and 1 + Ο ^ j β’ a β¦ a mod Ο β’ A is a surjective
homomorphism onto the additive group of A β§Έ Ο β’ A whose kernel is 1 + Ο ^ (j + 1) β’ A: every
graded piece of the filtration is A β§Έ Ο β’ A. If A is stable under the automorphisms of L/K,
so is each step.
For a finite Galois extension with group G a lattice of this kind is supplied by a scaled normal
basis element (TauCeti.exists_span_orbit_mul_le_smul), and is then free over πͺ[K][G], so that
every graded piece is free over (πͺ[K] β§Έ Ο)[G]. This filtration therefore replaces the unit
filtration U(L, i) of L, whose graded pieces are the residue field and are in general not free
over the group ring, when one computes the Tate cohomology of the units of L by successive
approximation: this is how the Herbrand quotient of πͺ[L]Λ£ is shown to be 1 for cyclic G.

A is a lattice defining a unit filtration with respect to Ο: Ο is a nonzero element of
the maximal ideal of πͺ[K], and A is an πͺ[K]-submodule of πͺ[L] that contains a power of
π[L] and satisfies A * A β€ Ο β’ A. The sets 1 + Ο ^ j β’ A are then subgroups of LΛ£
(TauCeti.IsUnitFiltrationLattice.filtration).
The element
Οis nonzero.The element
Οlies in the maximal ideal ofπͺ[K].The lattice is nearly closed under multiplication:
A * A β€ Ο β’ A.- exists_pow_maximalIdeal_le : β (n : β), Submodule.restrictScalars (β₯(ValuativeRel.valuation K).integer) (IsLocalRing.maximalIdeal β₯(ValuativeRel.valuation L).integer ^ n) β€ A
The lattice is open: it contains a power of the maximal ideal of
πͺ[L].
Instances For
Every element of A lies in the maximal ideal of πͺ[L]: its square lies in Ο β’ A.
The unit filtration of a lattice. For a lattice A defining a unit filtration with
respect to Ο, the subgroup 1 + Ο ^ j β’ A of LΛ£: the units of the form 1 + Ο ^ j β’ a with
a β A.
Instances For
Membership in the unit filtration of a lattice: x = 1 + Ο ^ j β’ a with a β A.
The step 1 + Ο ^ j β’ A lies in U(L, j + 1).
The step 1 + Ο ^ j β’ A contains some U(L, m).
Each step 1 + Ο ^ j β’ A is an open subgroup of LΛ£.
The unit filtration of a lattice is decreasing.
The unit filtration of a lattice separates points: an element lying in every step is 1.
The unit filtration of a lattice is complete. If y n lies in the n-th step
1 + Ο ^ n β’ A for every n, the infinite product β n, y n converges to some s in step zero,
in the sense that s differs from the n-th partial product by an element of the n-th step.
The graded pieces #
The graded pieces of the unit filtration of a lattice. The homomorphism
1 + Ο ^ j β’ a β¦ a mod Ο β’ A from the j-th step onto the additive group of A β§Έ Ο β’ A. Its
kernel is the next step (TauCeti.IsUnitFiltrationLattice.ker_filtrationToQuotient), and it
is surjective (TauCeti.IsUnitFiltrationLattice.filtrationToQuotient_surjective).
Instances For
The value of filtrationToQuotient at 1 + Ο ^ j β’ a is a mod Ο β’ A.
The kernel of filtrationToQuotient on the j-th step is the (j + 1)-st step: the graded
piece of the unit filtration of A at j embeds into A β§Έ Ο β’ A.
filtrationToQuotient is surjective: every class in A β§Έ Ο β’ A is the class of the
coordinate of some 1 + Ο ^ j β’ a.
Galois stability #
If the lattice A is stable under an automorphism Ο of L/K, so is every step
1 + Ο ^ j β’ A of its unit filtration.
Lattices defining a unit filtration exist. For a finite Galois extension L/K of
nonarchimedean local fields and a nonzero Ο β π[K], some Ξ± β πͺ[L] has conjugates forming a
K-basis of L and is such that the πͺ[K]-span of its orbit defines a unit filtration with
respect to Ο. That span is stable under the Galois group and free over πͺ[K][G] on Ξ±
(TauCeti.spanOrbitEquiv).
