The finite adelic spinor norm #
For a nondegenerate rational quadratic space and compatible compact-open data U, the local
spinor norms assemble into a continuous homomorphism on the finite adelic special orthogonal
group. Its codomain is the restricted product of local square-class groups relative to the
images of U.specialOrthogonal p under the local spinor norms. These reference subgroups are
derived from U, rather than independently chosen: this ensures that every reference point
maps into the reference subgroup at every prime.
The adelic spinor kernel consists exactly of the adelic proper isometries with trivial spinor norm at every prime. The finite adelic Spin projection lands in this kernel. In dimension at most one the spinor norm is trivial on the entire finite adelic special orthogonal group.
The construction uses restrictedProductMapOfForall and its continuity theorem, the local
reference images from SpinorNormImage, and CliffordAlgebra.continuous_spinorNorm.
