The idele norm as a product of conjugates #
Let L / K be a Galois extension of number fields. Extended back to L, the norm
N_{L/K}(x) of an idele x of L is the product of its Galois conjugates σ x
(ideleExtension_ideleNormMap), and the same holds for idele classes
(ideleClassExtension_ideleClassNormMap). This is the adele formula
TauCeti.GlobalNumberFields.adeleExtension_adeleNorm read on units.
More generally, for L / K not necessarily normal, a product formula N_{L/K}(y) = ∏ i, σ i y
for the elements of L in an extension M, with ring automorphisms σ i of M, gives the same
formula for the ideles of L extended to M
(ideleExtension_ideleNormMap_of_algebraMap_norm_eq_prod), by the adele formula
TauCeti.GlobalNumberFields.adeleExtension_adeleNorm_of_algebraMap_norm_eq_prod.

A product formula for the norm transfers to ideles. Let L/K be an extension of number
fields and M an extension of both. If for some ring automorphisms σ i of M the norm
N_{L/K}(y) of every y ∈ L, read in M, is ∏ i, σ i y, then extended to M, the idele norm
N_{L/K}(x) of an idele x of L is ∏ i, σ i x.
The idele norm of a Galois extension is the product of the Galois conjugates: extended
back to L, the norm of an idele x of L is ∏_σ σ x.
The idele-class norm of a Galois extension is the product of the Galois conjugates:
extended back to L, the norm of the class of an idele x of L is the class of ∏_σ σ x.
