The Selmer group of a number field is finite #
The finiteness proved in TauCeti.RingTheory.DedekindDomain.SInteger.SelmerGroup.Basic asks its
Dedekind domain for a finite class group and a finitely generated unit group. For the ring of
integers of a number field both are theorems of Mathlib -- the class number theorem and
Dirichlet's unit theorem -- so there the Selmer group K(S, n) is finite with no hypothesis
beyond the finiteness of S.
