Normalized absolute values on archimedean completions #
NumberField.InfinitePlace.completionNormalizedAbsValue is the norm on w.Completion raised to
w.mult, as a multiplicative map with zero. The exponent is one at real places and two at complex
places. For a number field, its restriction agrees with the normalization in
NumberField.prod_abs_eq_one; these completion-side maps supply the archimedean factors of the
idele norm.
NumberField.InfinitePlace.Completion.norm_algebraMap compares the completion norm with the place
absolute value on the dense base field. The normalized value is continuous and takes every
nonnegative real value.
Archimedean completions are nontrivially normed fields, and the diagonal embeddings form scalar towers over any commutative semiring base.
