The norm quotient of the idele class group #
The idele class norm ‖·‖ : C_K → ℝ>0 of a number field K has a continuous homomorphic
section. Fix an infinite place w of K, with multiplicity m_w ∈ {1, 2}. The idele whose
w-coordinate is the positive real number t ^ (1 / m_w) and whose other coordinates are 1
(TauCeti.GlobalNumberFields.ideleNormSection) has idele norm t, because the normalized absolute
value at w is |·| ^ m_w; its class is a section of the idele class norm.
A continuous map with a continuous right inverse is a quotient map, and a quotient homomorphism of
topological groups is open. So the idele norm and the idele class norm are open quotient maps,
and the topological first isomorphism theorem identifies the norm quotient
C_K / C_K¹ with ℝ>0 as a topological group. This refines the non-compactness of the full
idele class group (TauCeti.GlobalNumberFields.IdeleClassGroup.noncompactSpace), in contrast to
the compact norm-one idele class group C_K¹. The section also splits the idele class group as a
topological group: C_K ≃ C_K¹ × ℝ>0.

The section at one infinite place #
The continuous section of the idele class norm at the infinite place w: the class of
ideleNormSection K w t.
Instances For
The section of the idele class norm at w is the class of the section of the idele norm.
The section is right inverse to the idele class norm.
The norms are open quotient maps #
The idele norm is an open quotient map onto ℝ>0: it has a continuous section.
The idele class norm is an open quotient map onto ℝ>0: it has a continuous section.
The norm quotient #
The norm quotient of the idele class group is ℝ>0: the idele class norm induces an
isomorphism of topological groups C_K / C_K¹ ≃ₜ* ℝ>0.
Instances For
The norm quotient isomorphism sends the class of an idele class to its idele class norm.
The splitting C_K ≃ C_K¹ × ℝ>0 #
The idele class group splits as C_K¹ × ℝ>0. The infinite place w determines the
isomorphism of topological groups sending an idele class c to its norm-one part
c · s(‖c‖)⁻¹ and its norm ‖c‖, where s = ideleClassNormSection K w.
Instances For
The norm-one component of the splitting at w is c · s(‖c‖)⁻¹.
The ℝ>0 component of the splitting is the idele class norm.
The inverse of the splitting multiplies a norm-one idele class by the section at w.
