Products of normalized absolute values over finite completions #

For an extension of number fields L/K, the canonical map K_v → L_w raises normalized absolute values to the local degree [L_w : K_v]. Taking the product over w ∣ v raises the norm to the global degree [L : K]. This is the finite-place input to the idele norm formula for extension of scalars.

The product of the normalized absolute values of the images of x ∈ K_v in all the completions above v is ‖x‖ ^ [L : K]. This includes x = 0.
