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.

@[reducible, inline]

The restricted product of local square-class groups relative to the spinor-norm images of the special orthogonal reference subgroups.

Instances For

    The spinor-norm reference images are open, so their restricted product is a topological group for the restricted-product topology.

    The finite adelic spinor norm on the special orthogonal group, formed componentwise from the local spinor norms.

    Instances For
      @[simp]

      Each component of the adelic spinor norm is the corresponding local spinor norm.

      The finite adelic spinor norm is continuous for the restricted-product topologies.

      The kernel of the finite adelic spinor norm in the finite adelic special orthogonal group.

      Instances For

        The adelic spinor kernel is the kernel of the adelic spinor-norm homomorphism.

        @[simp]

        Membership in the adelic spinor kernel means that the spinor norm is trivial at every finite prime.

        The finite adelic Spin projection with codomain restricted to the adelic spinor kernel.

        Instances For

          The adelic Spin projection remains continuous after restricting its codomain to the kernel.

          In dimension zero or one the finite adelic special orthogonal spinor norm is trivial.
