Norm groups of finite real extensions #

Every finite extension of ℝ is isomorphic to ℝ or ℂ, by Mathlib's Real.nonempty_algEquiv_or. Its norm group is therefore all real units in degree one, and the positive units in degree two. In both cases its norm index equals its degree. The degree-two computation uses TauCeti.normGroup_real_complex and Mathlib's Units.index_posSubgroup.

The norm group of a finite real extension is all real units in degree one and the positive real units in degree two.

The norm index of every finite extension of the reals equals its degree.
