The narrow Picard group of an order as a quotient of a ray class group #

Let O be an order in a number field K with conductor ๐”ฃ, and let ๐”ฃโˆž be the modulus with finite part ๐”ฃ and every real place (NumberFieldOrder.narrowConductorModulus). Taking the narrow Picard class of the contraction J โˆฉ O of an ideal J of ๐“ž K prime to ๐”ฃ gives a monoid homomorphism NumberFieldOrder.narrowPicClass to NarrowPic O.

Its kernel consists of the principal ideals ฮฒ ๐“ž K with a totally positive generator ฮฒ โˆˆ O. In particular the ideals with a totally positive generator ฮฒ โ‰ก 1 mod ๐”ฃ die in NarrowPic O, so narrowPicClass factors through the ray class group of ๐”ฃโˆž. The result is the congruence description of the narrow Picard group of an order:

NarrowPic O โ‰ƒ I_K(๐”ฃ) / Pโบ_{K,O}(๐”ฃ),

where I_K(๐”ฃ) is the group of fractional ideals of ๐“ž K prime to ๐”ฃ and Pโบ_{K,O}(๐”ฃ) is its subgroup generated by the principal ideals ฮฒ ๐“ž K with ฮฒ โˆˆ O totally positive and coprime to ๐”ฃ. Here it is stated as the surjective homomorphism NumberFieldOrder.rayClassToNarrowPic from the ray class group of ๐”ฃโˆž, whose kernel is the image of Pโบ_{K,O}(๐”ฃ). Since that ray class group is finite, so is NarrowPic O.

Forgetting positivity, rayClassToNarrowPic lies over NumberFieldOrder.rayClassToPic, the corresponding description of the wide Picard group. Surjectivity reduces to that of the wide map and to realizing every principal narrow class, which depends only on the signs of a generator at the real places, by a nonzero algebraic integer congruent to one modulo ๐”ฃ. The latter is weak approximation at the primes dividing ๐”ฃ together with all real places.

The narrow conductor modulus #

The conductor of an order as a modulus of K together with every real place. Its ray class group surjects onto the narrow Picard group of the order.

Instances For

    The conductor modulus divides the narrow conductor modulus: they have the same finite part, and the latter has more real places.

    @[simp]

    The narrow conductor modulus of the maximal order is the narrow modulus.

    Narrow Picard classes of ideals prime to the conductor #

    The narrow Picard class of an ideal J of ๐“ž K prime to the conductor: the class in NarrowPic O of its contraction J โˆฉ O, an invertible ideal of O.

    Instances For
      @[simp]

      Forgetting positivity, the narrow Picard class of J is its Picard class.

      An ideal of ๐“ž K prime to the conductor and generated by an element ฮฒ of the order has the narrow Picard class of the principal ideal ฮฒ O.

      The kernel of the narrow Picard class map. An ideal of ๐“ž K prime to the conductor has trivial narrow Picard class exactly when it is generated by a totally positive element of the order.

      An ideal of ๐“ž K with trivial ray class modulo the narrow conductor modulus has trivial narrow Picard class: it is generated by a totally positive element congruent to one modulo the conductor, and such an element lies in the order.

      The narrow Picard group as a quotient of a ray class group #

      The narrow Picard group of an order as a quotient of a ray class group. The homomorphism from the ray class group of the narrow conductor modulus onto NarrowPic O sending the ray class of an ideal J of ๐“ž K prime to the conductor to the narrow Picard class of its contraction J โˆฉ O.

      Instances For
        @[simp]

        The ray class of J maps to the narrow Picard class of its contraction to the order.

        Forgetting positivity. The narrow description of NarrowPic O lies over the description of Pic O: the square formed with narrowToPic and the transition map classMap commutes.

        Every narrow Picard class comes from a ray class of the narrow conductor modulus.

        Every class of NarrowPic O is the narrow Picard class of an ideal of ๐“ž K prime to the conductor.

        The congruence description of the narrow Picard group. A ray class of the narrow conductor modulus maps to the trivial narrow Picard class exactly when it is the ray class of an ideal of ๐“ž K generated by a totally positive element of the order.

        The narrow Picard group of an order is finite, being a quotient of the finite ray class group of its narrow conductor modulus.
