Norms on completed multiplicative modules #
For a finite extension L/K, the field norm induces a ℤ_p-linear map A(L) → A(K) on
the inverse limits of the p-power class groups. Its value on the canonical class of a unit
is the canonical class of its norm.
The completed norm is invariant under every K-automorphism of L, including on elements
of A(L) that do not come from individual units. It therefore factors through Mathlib's
coinvariants of the representation padicCompletionUnitsRepresentation p L K. This is the
norm map whose cokernel enters the reciprocity description of a finite Galois layer.
The construction uses the algebraic inverse-limit carrier; it requires neither a topology on the fields nor a Galois hypothesis.

The completed norm descends to the coinvariants of the Galois representation on A(L).
Instances For
