Genus characters on the elementary-2 quotient of the narrow class group #
A genus character on the narrow class group has values in the two-element group ℤˣ, so it is
trivial on squares. It therefore factors canonically through the maximal elementary-2 quotient
Cl⁺(K) / Cl⁺(K)².
Writing the quotient and the sign group additively makes the factor a ZMod 2-linear functional.
This file also collects the characters indexed by the individual prime discriminants into one
linear map. A character indexed by a subset is the sum of the corresponding singleton
coordinates. Thus the arithmetic characters are organized as the linear family used in the
genus-theoretic computation of the narrow class group's two-rank.
The construction follows the genus-character treatment in Cox, Primes of the Form x² + ny²,
§3.B, and Lemmermeyer, Reciprocity Laws, §2.2. The quotient factorization uses Mathlib's
ModN.liftEquiv', exposed through TauCeti.elementaryTwoQuotientLinearLiftEquiv.
