Norms from subfields of a cyclotomic field at primes not dividing the level #
Let K be a subfield of the n-th cyclotomic field F over ℚ and p a prime not dividing n.
The automorphism ζ ↦ ζ ^ p of F is an arithmetic Frobenius at every prime above p, so its
f-th power fixes K, where f is the residue degree of a prime of K above p. The p-adic
valuation of the absolute norm of an ideal of K, and hence of the norm N_{K/ℚ}(x) of an element
of K, is a sum of such residue degrees. So ζ ↦ ζ ^ (p ^ v_p(N_{K/ℚ} x)) fixes K.
This is the contribution of the primes not dividing n to the product formula for the explicit
cyclotomic symbols, applied to the norm of an element of K.

A residue-degree power of p fixes the subfield. Let K be a subfield of the n-th
cyclotomic field F and P a prime of K above p ∤ n. Raising roots of unity to the power
p ^ f(P/p) fixes K.
Raising roots of unity to the power p ^ v_p(𝔑 I) fixes K, for every ideal I of a subfield
K of the n-th cyclotomic field and p ∤ n.
Norms from a cyclotomic subfield at a prime not dividing the level. For K a subfield of
the n-th cyclotomic field, x ∈ K and p ∤ n, raising roots of unity to the power
p ^ v_p(N_{K/ℚ} x) fixes K.
