Genus characters on coprime ideals #
For a factor t of a prime-discriminant factorization, the genus character
genusCharFun t is multiplicative but can vanish on integers sharing a prime factor with t.
This file packages its nonvanishing restriction as a genuine homomorphism on the monoid of
nonzero integral ideals whose absolute norm is coprime to the modulus ∏ P ∈ t, P.
The homomorphism is the arithmetic input for descending genus characters to the narrow class
group. The descent theorem
genusCharFun_absNorm_eq_of_span_mul_eq_span_mul proves invariance under a narrow-principal
comparison when its two principal factors are also coprime to the modulus; the coprime
representative API supplies representatives satisfying the ideal-level condition.
The construction follows the genus-character packaging in D. A. Cox, Primes of the Form
x² + ny², §3.B, and F. Lemmermeyer, Reciprocity Laws, §2.2. No external implementation is
vendored here.

genusCharFunCoprimeIdealSubmonoid: nonzero integral ideals coprime to the genus modulus.genusCharFunCoprimeIdealHom: the genus character as a homomorphism from that submonoid toℤˣ, whose values are the units1and-1.genusCharFunCoprimeIdealHom_apply: the underlying integer value is the genus character of the ideal's absolute norm.
The monoid of nonzero integral ideals whose absolute norm is coprime to the modulus formed by
the prime discriminants in t. The prime-discriminant hypotheses needed for nonvanishing are
separate arguments to genusCharFunCoprimeIdealHom.

Instances For
Membership in the coprime-ideal submonoid is coprimality of the absolute norm with the genus modulus.
The genus character on ideals coprime to its modulus, with values in the units of ℤ.
Its value on an ideal is genusCharFun t (N I), viewed as the unit 1 or -1; the
prime-discriminant hypotheses ensure that this integer is nonzero.
