The norm-one idele class group #
The idele norm ‖·‖ : 𝕀_K → ℝ>0 of a number field K is trivial on the principal ideles by the
product formula, so it descends to a continuous surjective homomorphism
ideleClassNorm : C_K → ℝ>0 on the idele class group C_K = 𝕀_K / Kˣ. Its kernel is the
norm-one idele class group C_K¹, a closed subgroup of C_K.
The full idele class group is not compact, since it surjects continuously onto the positive reals,
and C_K¹ is a proper subgroup. The norm-one subgroup is the carrier of the compactness theorem
for C_K¹, the adelic form of the finiteness of the class group and Dirichlet's unit theorem.

The idele norm on the idele class group of a number field: the idele norm descends along the quotient by the principal ideles, on which it is trivial by the product formula.
Instances For
The idele class norm of the class of an idele is its idele norm.
The idele class norm of an idele class is a positive real number.

norm one.
Instances For
The norm-one idele class group is normal, being a kernel.
An idele class lies in the norm-one subgroup exactly when its idele class norm is 1.
The class of an idele lies in the norm-one subgroup exactly when the idele has norm 1.
The preimage of the norm-one idele class group in the idele group is the kernel of the idele norm.
The norm-one idele class group is closed in the idele class group.
The norm-one idele class group is a proper subgroup: the idele class norm is surjective onto
the nontrivial group ℝ>0.
The idele class group of a number field is not compact: it surjects continuously onto
the noncompact group ℝ>0. This is in contrast to the norm-one subgroup C_K¹, which is
compact.
