Principal ideles that are idele norms #
For an extension L/K of number fields, the main result,
unitEmbedding_mem_range_ideleNormMap_iff, says that x ∈ Kˣ is a norm at every place
(TauCeti.GlobalNumberFields.IsLocalNormEverywhere) exactly when its principal idele is the norm
of an idele of L. It is the principal case of the placewise criterion
mem_range_ideleNormMap_iff. With the Hasse norm theorem for cyclic extensions, which identifies
global norms with principal ideles that are idele norms, it turns the Hasse norm principle into a
statement about norm equations in the completions. The easy half of that principle holds for
every extension: a global norm is a norm everywhere (isLocalNormEverywhere_normUnits).

Principal idele norms are local norms everywhere. For an extension L/K of number fields,
the principal idele of x ∈ Kˣ is the norm of an idele of L exactly when x is a norm from the
local étale algebra K_v ⊗[K] L at every finite and every infinite place v of K.
A global norm is a local norm everywhere. This is the easy half of the Hasse norm principle, valid for every extension of number fields.
