Local reciprocity for the multiplicative p-adic completion #
Let L/K be a finite extension, L a nonarchimedean local field of characteristic zero, and let
V ≤ G_K be the open subgroup fixing the copy ι(L) of L in a separable closure of K. Local
reciprocity identifies the multiplicative p-adic completion A(L) = lim_m Lˣ/(Lˣ)^(p^m) with
V^ab(p), the maximal pro-p quotient of the topological abelianization of V ≃ G_L. The
construction identifies A(L) with the maximal pro-p quotient of the profinite completion of
Lˣ, applies the profinite-completion form of local reciprocity
ClassFieldTheory.profiniteCompletionArtinEquiv, and transports the result along G_L ≃ V.
When L/K is normal, G_K ⧸ V ≃ Gal(L/K) acts on both sides, and the identification is
equivariant. This is what lets statements about the class module V^ab(p) of the pair V ◁ G_K
be read as statements about the Gal(L/K)-module A(L). Equivariance reduces, by density of
Lˣ in A(L), to the naturality of the Artin map under the field automorphisms of L
(ClassFieldTheory.artinMap_congr).
Second cohomology with this conjugation action is identified with second cohomology of the
completed-units representation by explicitH2EquivPadicCompletionUnits; its cocycle formula
retains the reciprocity coordinates when comparing coefficient maps.

The reciprocity isomorphism #
Local reciprocity for A(L), absolute form. The multiplicative p-adic completion
A(L) is the maximal pro-p quotient of the abelianized absolute Galois group G_L^ab of L:
it is the maximal pro-p quotient of the profinite completion of Lˣ, which local reciprocity
identifies with G_L^ab (ClassFieldTheory.profiniteCompletionArtinEquiv).
Instances For
The absolute form of local reciprocity for A(L) sends the class of a unit to the class of
its absolute Artin symbol.
Local reciprocity for A(L). If V ≤ G_K is the subgroup fixing the image of a finite
extension L/K under ι : L →ₐ[K] Kˢ, then the multiplicative p-adic completion A(L) of
Lˣ is canonically isomorphic to V^ab(p), the maximal pro-p quotient of the topological
abelianization of V.
Instances For
On the dense image of Lˣ, local reciprocity for A(L) sends the class of a unit x to the
class of σ_V, where σ ∈ G_L represents the absolute Artin symbol of x and σ_V ∈ V is its
image under G_L ≃ V.
Equivariance #
Equivariance of local reciprocity for A(L). Let L/K be a finite normal extension of
p-adic fields and V ≤ G_K the subgroup fixing ι(L). For g ∈ G_K, the action of its
restriction ι.restrictNormalHom g ∈ Gal(L/K) on A(L) corresponds to the conjugation action of
the class of g in G_K ⧸ V on V^ab(p). As quotientFixingSubgroupFieldRangeEquiv K L ι
sends the class of g to ι.restrictNormalHom g, this is equivariance for Gal(L/K) ≃ G_K ⧸ V.
Reciprocity intertwines the finite Galois group's action on the completed units with
its transported conjugation action on the arithmetic pro-p class module.
Inverse reciprocity carries the arithmetic class-module action to the action on units.
Inverse reciprocity intertwines the Galois action on the pro-p class module with the
group-algebra action on the completed units, after reading the latter additively.
Explicit second cohomology of the arithmetic pro-p class module, with the finite
Galois group's conjugation action, is second cohomology of the completed-units representation.
The comparison reads coefficient values through the inverse of local reciprocity.
Instances For
The arithmetic comparison is the generic comparison in any equal inverse-reciprocity coordinates. This characterization keeps its construction opaque to consumers.
The arithmetic second-cohomology comparison sends a cocycle class to the cocycle obtained by reading its values through inverse local reciprocity.
