Local compactness of finite adele rings #

The finite adele ring of a Dedekind domain with finite residue fields is locally compact. Each adic completion is a nonarchimedean local field, and its integer ring is compact and open. The result then follows from the local-compactness theorem for restricted products. If the Dedekind domain is moreover countable, the finite adele ring is σ-compact: every finite adele has a common denominator b, so it lies in one of the countably many compact sets b⁻¹ · ∏_v 𝒪_v.

The finite-residue-field hypothesis is stated directly, rather than specialized to rings of integers, so this applies to every Dedekind domain for which the same local compactness argument is valid.
