Galois descent for ideles #
For an extension of number fields L/K, the extension map of ideles I_K → I_L is injective
(ideleExtension_injective). When L/K is Galois, its image is the set of ideles of L fixed by
Gal(L/K) (mem_range_ideleExtension_iff):
I_K = (I_L)^{Gal(L/K)}.
Both are the corresponding statements for adeles (adeleExtension_injective,
mem_range_adeleExtension_iff), applied to an idele and to its inverse.

The extension map of ideles is injective.
Galois descent for ideles: for a Galois extension L/K, an idele of L is extended from
an idele of K exactly when it is fixed by every element of Gal(L/K).
Extension of idele classes along a surjective algebraMap is bijective: when every
element of L comes from K, a principal idele of L extended from K is the extension of a
principal idele of K, and every idele of L is fixed by the trivial group Gal(L/K), so it
descends to K.
