The geometric coefficient of the ray ideal count #

Counting the points of a coset of congruenceLattice ๐”ช (mk0 ๐”ž) in the norm-โ‰ค t section of rayFundamentalDomain ๐”ช gives a main term V / covol ยท t, where V is the volume of the norm-one section of the domain and covol the covolume of the lattice. This file evaluates the coefficient V / covol ยท N ๐”ž that this produces for the ideals of a ray class, where t = x ยท N ๐”ž, in terms of rayClassIdealMainTerm ๐”ช.

Writing w_๐”ช for the number of roots of unity congruent to one modulo ๐”ช, the coefficient is V / covol ยท N ๐”ž = w_๐”ช ยท rayClassIdealMainTerm ๐”ช.

Main results #

The geometric coefficient of the ray ideal count. The volume of the norm-one section of rayFundamentalDomain ๐”ช, over the covolume of the congruence lattice of a nonzero integral ideal ๐”ž, times the norm of ๐”ž, is w_๐”ช ยท rayClassIdealMainTerm ๐”ช, where w_๐”ช is the number of roots of unity congruent to one modulo ๐”ช. In particular the left-hand side does not depend on ๐”ž.
