Scalar extension at places of a number field #

This file defines the scalar extension of a vector space over a number field to a finite completion, to ℝ through a real place, and to ℂ through a chosen infinite-place embedding.

These are the local vector spaces K_v ⊗[K] V attached to a global vector space V. They are shared by the localization of quadratic forms at the places of K and by weak approximation of vectors at finite and real places, so that both speak about the same local spaces. Their finite dimensions are preserved by each scalar extension.
