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.

The Selmer group K(S, n) of a number field is finite for S finite and n with NeZero n.
