Frobenius under the decomposition-group equivalence #

Let L/K be a Galois extension of number fields, and let w be a finite place of L above a finite place v of K. The decomposition-group equivalence identifies the stabilizer of w with the Galois group of the completed extension L_w/K_v. This file proves that the identification respects reduction to residue fields. Consequently it carries an arithmetic Frobenius at w to the Frobenius automorphism of an unramified local extension.

The residue compatibility is stated pointwise through the canonical equivalences R ⧸ v ≃ 𝓀[K_v] and S ⧸ w ≃ 𝓀[L_w]. This avoids choosing a second algebra structure on either residue extension.

The global and local residue actions agree. Under the canonical identification of the residue field of w with the residue field of L_w, the action of an element of the global decomposition group is the residue action of its continuous extension to L_w.

The decomposition-group map carries global arithmetic Frobenius to local Frobenius. If the completed extension L_w/K_v is Galois and unramified, the continuous extension to L_w of an arithmetic Frobenius at w is its canonical Frobenius automorphism.
