Decomposition-group orbits on cosets and the primes of an invariant ring #
Let a finite group G act on a commutative ring B with invariant ring A, let H be a
subgroup of G with invariant ring C between A and B, and let Q be a prime of B above
a prime p of A, with decomposition group D. The double coset law
Ideal.doubleCosetQuotientEquivPrimesOverOfIsInvariant indexes the primes of C above p by
H \ G / D. This file reads the same law on the left cosets G ⧸ H, where D acts by
translation: the coset τ H is attached to the prime τ⁻¹ Q ∩ C
(Ideal.primesOverOfCoset), two cosets are attached to the same prime exactly when they lie in
one D-orbit, and every prime arises. When Q is maximal, B is a finite flat A-algebra
and a flat C-algebra, and G and H are Galois groups of the domain B over A and over
C, the D-orbit of τ H has e · f elements, where e and f are the ramification index
and the residue degree of the attached prime over p. Altogether, the multiset of the sizes of
the D-orbits on G ⧸ H is the multiset of the local degrees e · f over the primes of C
above p. No hypothesis on the residue fields is needed.
This is the form of the double coset law that Dedekind's theorem uses: when M / K is a finite
Galois extension and C is the integral closure of the base in M ^ H = K(α), for a root α of
an irreducible polynomial, G ⧸ H is the set of roots. If moreover p is unramified in C, so
that every e is 1, and D is generated by a Frobenius element, then the orbit sizes of that
Frobenius on the roots are the residue degrees of the primes of C above p. Rings of integers
of number fields are the case A = 𝓞 K, B = 𝓞 M, C = 𝓞 (M ^ H), where every algebraic
hypothesis below is found by instance search.

The prime of the H-invariant ring C above p attached to a coset τ H: the contraction
τ⁻¹ Q ∩ C. It does not depend on the representative τ, because H acts C-linearly and so
does not move contractions to C.
Instances For
The prime attached to the coset of τ is the contraction of τ⁻¹ Q.
The fibres are the orbits of the decomposition group. Two cosets are attached to the
same prime of C exactly when one is a translate of the other by the decomposition group of
Q.
Every prime of C above p is attached to a coset.
The orbits of the decomposition group on G ⧸ H are the primes of C above p: the
map primesOverOfCoset, which is constant on the orbits of the decomposition group of Q and
identifies exactly them, descends to a bijection from the orbit quotient.
Instances For
The orbit of a coset is sent to the prime attached to the coset.
Orbit sizes are local degrees. The orbit of a coset under the decomposition group of Q
has as many elements as the ramification index times the residue degree of the prime of C
attached to the coset. No hypothesis on the residue fields is needed.
The multiset of orbit sizes is the multiset of local degrees. The sizes of the orbits of
the decomposition group of Q on G ⧸ H are, as a multiset, the products e · f of the
ramification index and the residue degree over the primes of C above p.
