Connectedness in the unit groups of archimedean completions #

Let w be an infinite place of a number field K. The completion w.Completion is isometric to ℝ when w is real and to ℂ when w is complex. Consequently the unit group w.Completionˣ is connected at a complex place, being homeomorphic to ℂˣ, while at a real place the units of positive real part form a preconnected set, homeomorphic to the positive half-line.

These are the archimedean inputs to the description of the open subgroups of the idele class group: an open subgroup is also closed, so it contains every connected set of ideles through the identity, and in particular the whole unit group at each complex place and the positive units at each real place.

The isometry w.Completion ≃ᵢ ℂ of a complex place evaluates to the extension embedding. This records the definition of isometryEquivComplexOfIsComplex, whose underlying equivalence is ringEquivComplexOfIsComplex hw.
