Galois descent for adeles #

For an extension of number fields L/K, the extension map ๐”ธ_K โ†’ ๐”ธ_L is injective (adeleExtension_injective). When L/K is Galois, its image is the set of adeles of L fixed by Gal(L/K) (mem_range_adeleExtension_iff):

๐”ธ_K = (๐”ธ_L)^{Gal(L/K)}.

Both statements are read off the base change ๐”ธ_K โŠ—[K] L โ‰ƒ ๐”ธ_L (adeleBaseChangeHom_bijective). For injectivity, ๐”ธ_K โ†’ ๐”ธ_K โŠ—[K] L is injective because L is flat over K. For the image, Gal(L/K) acts semilinearly on ๐”ธ_L, fixes the extended adeles, and the scalar extension L โŠ—[K] ๐”ธ_K โ†’ ๐”ธ_L of the extension map is surjective, so its image is all the invariants by TauCeti.GaloisDescent.range_eq_invariants_of_liftBaseChange_surjective.

These are the adelic input to Galois descent for the ideles of a separable closure, where the ideles of a finite Galois subextension are recovered as the fixed points of its Galois group.

Galois descent for adeles: for a Galois extension L/K, an adele of L is extended from an adele of K exactly when it is fixed by every element of Gal(L/K).
