Theorem 6.6. Let \( S \) and \( {S}^{\prime } \) be tori and \( w : S \rightarrow {S}^{\prime } \) a quasiconformal mapping. Then the bijective isometry \( \left\lbrack \varphi \right\rbrack \rightarrow \left\lbrack {\varphi \circ {w}^{-1}}\right\rbrack \) of \( {T}_{S} \) onto \( {T}_{{S}^{\prime }} \) is biholomorphi...
Proof. The isometry depends only on the homotopy class of \( w \) . Therefore, by Theorem 6.3, there is no loss of generality in assuming that \( w \) has a lift \( \zeta \rightarrow \lambda \left( {\zeta + \mu \bar{\zeta }}\right) \)\n\nWe may assume that the lift of \( \varphi \) is \( \zeta \rightarrow \zeta + z\bar...

Lemma 7.1. Let \( v \in N\left( G\right) \) and \( \parallel v{\parallel }_{\infty } < 2 \) . Then, for \( 0 \leq t \leq 1/4 \), there is a \( \sigma \left( t\right) \in \) \( \left\lbrack {tv}\right\rbrack \) such that \( \parallel \sigma \left( t\right) {\parallel }_{\infty } \leq {12}{t}^{2} \) .
Proof. By Theorem 7.3,\n\n\[ \n{\begin{Vmatrix}{S}_{{f}_{tv} \mid E}\end{Vmatrix}}_{q} \leq {24}{t}^{2} \n\]\n\nFor \( 0 \leq t \leq 1/4 \), we have \( {24}{t}^{2} < 2 \) . Hence by formula (4.6), there is a complex dilatation \( \sigma \left( t\right) \in \left\lbrack {tv}\right\rbrack \) for which\n\n\[ \n\parallel \...

Theorem 7.4. If \( {f}^{\mu } \) is extremal in its equivalence class, then\n\n\[ \parallel \mu {\parallel }_{G}^{ * } = \parallel \mu {\parallel }_{\infty }.\n\]
Proof. By the Hahn-Banach extension theorem (Dunford-Schwartz [1], p. 63), there is a linear functional \( \lambda \) in \( {L}^{1}\left( G\right) \) with \( \lambda \mid A\left( G\right) = {l}_{\mu } \) and \( \parallel \lambda \parallel = \parallel \mu {\parallel }_{G}^{ * } \) .

Theorem 7.6. On a compact Riemann surface, a quasiconformal mapping with the smallest maximal dilatation in its homotopy class is a Teichmüller mapping.
Proof. Let \( \left( {\varphi }_{n}\right) \) be a weakly convergent Hamilton sequence with limit \( \varphi \) . For a compact Riemann surface of genus \( > 1 \), the Dirichlet regions \( N \) are relatively compact in \( D \) (IV.5.1). Therefore\n\n\[ 1 = \lim {\int }_{N}\left| {\varphi }_{n}\right| = {\int }_{N}\lef...

Theorem 9.3. The mapping \( z \rightarrow \left\lbrack {z\bar{\varphi }/\left| \varphi \right| }\right\rbrack \) is an isometry of the hyperbolic unit disc onto the Teichmüller disc determined by \( \varphi \) .
Proof. For distances from the origin, isometry is clear:\n\n\[{\tau }_{S}\left( {0,\left\lbrack {z\bar{\varphi }/\left| \varphi \right| }\right\rbrack }\right) = \frac{1}{2}\log \frac{1 + \left| z\right| }{1 - \left| z\right| } = h\left( {0, z}\right) ,\]\n\nwhere \( h \) denotes the hyperbolic distance in the unit dis...

Theorem 9.4. In the space \( {T}_{p}, p \geq 1 \), the hyperbolic metric and the Teichmüller metric are the same.
Proof. For \( p = 1 \), the theorem follows from (9.7) and the fact that \( {T}_{p} \) can then be identified with the hyperbolic unit disc (see 6.7).\n\nFor \( p > 1 \), let us consider a model \( {T}_{S} \) of \( {T}_{p} \) . In studying the distances between two points \( {q}_{1} \) and \( {q}_{2} \) of \( {T}_{S} \...

Theorem 9.5. The Teichmüller space of a Riemann surface of type \( \left( {p, n}\right) \) , \( {2p} - 2 + n > 0 \), is homeomorphic to the euclidean space \( {\mathbb{R}}^{{6p} - 6 + {2n}} \) .
The proof can be reduced to the case of a compact surface. The idea is to construct suitable coverings of \( S \) branched at the points of \( S \smallsetminus {S}_{0} \) . The procedure is explained in Ahlfors [1], pp. 20-23.

Corollary 3.7. A subset \( A \) of a topological space \( \left( {X,\mathcal{T}}\right) \) is closed if and only if the limit points of all convergent nets in \( A \) are again in \( A \) .
Proof. By the previous result, we know that the closure \( \bar{A} \) of a set \( A \) is precisely the set of all limit points of nets in \( A \) . The result then follows from the fact that \( A \) is closed if and only if \( A = \bar{A} \) .

No
If \( \left( {X,\mathcal{T}}\right) \) is a topological space and \( x \in X \), the collection \( \{ U \in \mathcal{T} : x \in U\} \) has the finite intersection property (it's actually closed under finite intersections, by definition of a topology).
The filter it generates is the neighbourhood filter introduced in Example 5.2.2.

Proposition 5.6. Let \( X \) be a set and \( \mathcal{U} \) a filter on \( X \). Then \( \mathcal{U} \) is an ultrafilter if and only if for any subset \( A \subseteq X \), either \( A \in \mathcal{U} \) or \( X \smallsetminus A \in \mathcal{U} \).

Proposition 2. If \( B \) is integral over \( A \) and finitely generated as an A-algebra, then \( B \) is a finitely generated \( A \) -module.
Proof. We may prove this by induction on the number of ring generators, and thus we may assume that \( B = A\left\lbrack x\right\rbrack \) for some element \( x \) integral over \( A \) . But we have already seen that our assertion is true in that case.

Proposition 5. Let \( A \) be a ring contained in a field \( L \) . Let \( B \) be the set of elements of \( L \) which are integral over \( A \) . Then \( B \) is a ring, called the integral closure of \( A \) in \( L \) .

Theorem 1. Let \( A \) be a principal ideal ring, and \( L \) a finite separable extension of its quotient field, of degree \( n \) . Let \( B \) be the integral closure of \( A \) in \( L \) . Then \( B \) is a free module of rank \( n \) over \( A \) .
Proof. As a module over \( A \), the integral closure is torsion-free, and by the general theory of principal ideal rings, any torsion-free finitely generated module is in fact a free module. It is obvious that the rank is equal to the degree \( \left\lbrack {L : K}\right\rbrack \) .

Proposition 8. Let \( A \) be a subring of a ring \( B \), integral over \( A \) . Let \( S \) be a multiplicative subset of \( A \) . Then \( {S}^{-1}B \) is integral over \( {S}^{-1}A \) . If \( A \) is integrally closed, then \( {S}^{-1}A \) is integrally closed.
Proof. If \( x \in B \) and \( s \in S \), and if \( M \) is a finitely generated \( A \) -module such that \( {xM} \subset M \), then \( {S}^{-1}M \) is a finitely generated \( {S}^{-1}A \) -module which is mapped into itself by \( {s}^{-1}x \), so that \( {s}^{-1}x \) is integral over \( {S}^{-1}A \) .

Proof. Assume \( \mathfrak{p} \) maximal in \( A \) . Then \( A/\mathfrak{p} \) is a field. We are reduced to proving that a ring which is integral over a field is a field. If \( k \) is a field and \( x \) is integral over \( k \), then it is standard from elementary field theory that the ring \( k\left\lbrack x\right...

Proof. Let \( E \) be as above, and let \( H \) be the Galois group of \( L \) over \( E \) . Let \( \mathfrak{q} = \mathfrak{P} \cap E \) .

Proof. If \( \mathfrak{p} \) meets \( S \), then \[ {S}^{-1}\mathfrak{p} = {S}^{-1}A \] because 1 lies in \( {S}^{-1}\mathfrak{p} \) . If \( \mathfrak{a},\mathfrak{b} \) are two ideals of \( A \), then \[ {S}^{-1}\left( {\mathfrak{a}\mathfrak{b}}\right) = \left( {{S}^{-1}\mathfrak{a}}\right) \left( {{S}^{-1}\mathfrak{b...

Proposition 17. Let \( A \) be a Dedekind ring, and assume that its group of ideal classes is finite. Let \( {\mathfrak{a}}_{1},\ldots ,{\mathfrak{a}}_{r} \) be representative fractional ideals of the ideal classes, and let \( b \) be a non-zero element of \( A \) which lies in all the \( {\mathfrak{a}}_{i} \) . Let \(...
Proof. All the ideals \( {S}^{-1}{\mathfrak{a}}_{1},\ldots ,{S}^{-1}{\mathfrak{a}}_{r} \) map on the unit ideal in the homomorphism of Proposition 16. Since every ideal of \( A \) is equal to some \( {\mathfrak{a}}_{i} \) times a principal ideal, our proposition follows from the surjectivity of Proposition 16.

Proposition 19. Let \( A \) be a local ring and \( M \) a free module of rank \( n \) over \( A \). Let \( \mathfrak{p} \) be the maximal ideal of \( A \). Then \( M/\mathfrak{p}M \) is a vector space of dimension \( n \) over \( A/\mathfrak{p \) .

Proof. The group \( G \) operates transitively on the primes of \( B \) lying above \( \mathfrak{p} \), and the order of \( {G}_{\mathfrak{P}} \) is the order of the isotropy group. Our assertions are therefore obvious, taking into account Proposition 14 of \( §5 \) .

Proof. Suppose that the two embeddings are conjugate over \( {K}_{v} \) . Then the uniqueness of the extension of the absolute value from \( {K}_{v} \) to \( {\bar{K}}_{v} \) guarantees that the induced absolute values on \( E \) are equal.

Proposition 4. If \( f \) is irreducible and separable, then any polynomial \( g \) sufficiently close to \( f \) is also irreducible.

Proposition 14. The discriminant and different are related by the formula\n\n\[ \n{N}_{K}^{E}{\mathfrak{D}}_{B/A} = {D}_{E/K}\left( B\right) \n\]
Proof. Using Proposition 6 of \( \$ 1 \) and Proposition 11, we may assume that \( A \) is a discrete valuation ring, and hence that \( B \) is a free module over \( A \) . If \( W \) is a basis for \( B \) over \( A \), then \( {D}_{E/K}\left( B\right) \) is generated by \( {D}_{E/K}\left( W\right) \) . Let \( {W}^{\p...

Proposition 15. We have\n\n\[ \n{D}_{E/K}\left( \beta \right) = {\left( -1\right) }^{n\left( {n - 1}\right) /2}{N}_{K}^{E}{\mathfrak{D}}_{E/K}\left( \beta \right) .\n\]
Proof. Exercise in permuting the rows of a determinant.

Proposition 16. Let \( \alpha \in B \) and let \( \mathfrak{p} \) be a prime of \( A \) . If \( \mathfrak{p} \) does not divide \( {D}_{E/K}\left( \alpha \right) /{D}_{E/K}\left( B\right) \) then \( {B}_{\mathfrak{p}} = {A}_{\mathfrak{p}}\left\lbrack \alpha \right\rbrack \) .
Proof. By Theorem 1 of Chapter I, \( §2 \) we know that \( {B}_{\mathfrak{p}} \) is a free module over \( {A}_{\mathfrak{p}} \) . Furthermore\n\n\[ \n{D}_{E/K}\left( {1,\alpha ,\ldots ,{\alpha }^{n - 1}}\right) = {D}_{E/K}\left( B\right) {c}^{2} \n\]\n\nwhere \( c \) is an element of \( {A}_{\mathfrak{p}} \) . By hypot...

Proposition 17. Let \( K, E \) be two number fields. Assume that their discriminants are relatively prime and that the fields are linearly disjoint (i.e. if \( {w}_{1},\ldots ,{w}_{n} \) is a basis of \( K \) over \( \mathbf{Q} \) and \( {v}_{1},\ldots ,{v}_{m} \) is a basis of \( E \) over \( \mathbf{Q} \) , then \( \...
Proof. From the fundamental properties of the different, we know that \( {\mathfrak{D}}_{{KE}/\mathbf{Q}} \) is equal to\n\n\[{\mathfrak{D}}_{{KE}/K}{\mathfrak{D}}_{K/\mathbf{Q}} = {\mathfrak{D}}_{{KE}/E}{\mathfrak{D}}_{E/\mathbf{Q}}\]\n\nBut \( {\mathfrak{D}}_{E/\mathbf{Q}} \) and \( {\mathfrak{D}}_{K/\mathbf{Q}} \) h...

Theorem 2. Let \( m \) be a positive integer and \( \omega \) a primitive \( m \) -th root of unity. Then \( \left\lbrack {\mathbf{Q}\left( \omega \right) : \mathbf{Q}}\right\rbrack = \varphi \left( m\right) \) . The only ramified primes \( p \) in \( \mathbf{Q}\left( \omega \right) \) are those dividing \( m \) . If \...
Proof. Let \( g\left( X\right) = {X}^{m} - 1 \) . Then \( \omega \) satisfies \( g\left( X\right) = 0 \), and \[ {g}^{\prime }\left( \omega \right) = m{\omega }^{m - 1} \] is divisible only by primes dividing \( m \) . Hence any other prime is unramified in \( \mathbf{Q}\left( \omega \right) \) . For any \( j > 1 \), t...

Theorem 3. Let \( \omega \) be a primitive \( {p}^{r} \) -th root of unity, and \( K = \mathbf{Q}\left( \omega \right) \) . Then \( {\mathfrak{o}}_{K} = \mathbf{Z}\left\lbrack \omega \right\rbrack \) . The discriminant is given by \[ {D}_{K} = \pm {p}^{{p}^{r - 1}\left( {{pr} - r - 1}\right) } \] where the - sign holds...
Proof. We shall give the proof only when \( r = 1 \) . The principle is the same in general. Thus we deal with the \( p \) -th roots of unity. Let \( B = \mathbf{Z}\left\lbrack \omega \right\rbrack \) . To prove that \( B = {\mathfrak{o}}_{K} \) it suffices to prove that the discriminant of \( B \) and \( {\mathfrak{o}...

Theorem 4. Let \( m \) be a positive integer, and \( \omega \) a primitive \( m \) -th root of unity. Then \( \mathbf{Z}\left\lbrack \omega \right\rbrack \) is the integral closure of \( \mathbf{Z} \) in \( \mathbf{Q}\left( \omega \right) \) .
Proof. It is clearly the compositum of the rings of integers of various prime power cyclotomic fields which satisfy the conditions of Proposition 17, Chapter III, §3.

Theorem 5. Let \( m \) be a square-free integer \( \neq 0 \), and let \( K = \mathbf{Q}\left( \sqrt{m}\right) \) . If \( m \equiv 2 \) or 3 (mod 4), then \( \left\lbrack {1,\sqrt{m}}\right\rbrack \) is a basis for \( {\mathfrak{o}}_{K} \) over \( \mathbf{Z} \) . If \( m \equiv 1 \) \( \left( {\;\operatorname{mod}\;4}\r...
Proof. Exercise. To verify that an element \( x + y\sqrt{m} \) with \( x, y \in \mathbf{Q} \) is integral over \( \mathbf{Z} \), it is necessary and sufficient that its norm and trace lie in \( \mathbf{Z} \) . From this, there is no difficulty in verifying the assertion of the theorem.

Theorem 6. Let \( \zeta \) be a primitive \( p \) -th root of unity for \( p \) odd, and\n\n\[ S = \mathop{\sum }\limits_{\nu }\left( \frac{\nu }{p}\right) {\zeta }^{\nu } \]\n\nthe sum being taken over non-zero residue classes \( {\;\operatorname{mod}\;p} \) . Then\n\n\[ {S}^{2} = \left( \frac{-1}{p}\right) p \]
Proof. The last statement follows at once from the explicit expression of \( \pm p \) as a square in \( \mathbf{Q}\left( \zeta \right) \) and also \( {\left( 1 + i\right) }^{2} = {2i} \) . As for the sum, we have\n\n\[ {S}^{2} = \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{\nu ,\mu }}\left( \frac{\nu \mu }{p}\right) {\zeta }^{\nu + \mu } \...

Theorem 7. We have \( {T}^{2}f = q{f}^{ - } \), i.e. \( {T}^{2}f\left( z\right) = {qf}\left( {-z}\right) \) .

Theorem 8. For complex functions \( f, g \) on \( F \), we have\n\n\[ T\left( {f * g}\right) = \left( {Tf}\right) \left( {Tg}\right) \]\n\n\[ T\left( {fg}\right) = \frac{1}{q}{Tf} * {Tg} \]
Proof. For the first formula, we have\n\n\[ T\left( {f * g}\right) \left( z\right) = \mathop{\sum }\limits_{y}\left( {f * g}\right) \left( y\right) \lambda \left( {zy}\right) = \mathop{\sum }\limits_{y}\mathop{\sum }\limits_{x}f\left( x\right) g\left( {y - x}\right) \lambda \left( {zy}\right) .\n\nWe change the order o...

Theorem 10. Let \( f \) be the order of \( p{\;\operatorname{mod}\;m} \), and \( q = {p}^{f} \) . Let \( x \) be a character of \( F = {F}_{q} \) such that\n\n\[ \chi \left( a\right) \equiv {a}^{-\left( {q - 1}\right) /m}\;\left( {\;\operatorname{mod}\;\mathfrak{p}}\right) . \]\n\nThen for any integer \( r \geqq 1 \) w...
Proof. This is essentially a reformulation of Theorem 9. Let \( K = \mathbf{Q}\left( {\zeta ,\omega }\right) \) and let \( \varphi \) be a homomorphism of \( {\mathfrak{o}}_{K} \) into \( {\bar{F}}_{p} \) corresponding to \( \mathfrak{P} \), i.e. inducing an injection\n\n\[ {\mathfrak{o}}_{K}/\mathfrak{P} \rightarrow {...

Theorem 11. Let \( k = \mathbf{Q}\left( {\zeta }_{m}\right) \) where \( {\zeta }_{m} \) is a primitive \( m \) -th root of unity. Let \( p \) be a prime number, \( p \nmid m \), and let \( \mathfrak{p} \mid p \) in \( k \) . For positive integers \( a, b \) such that \( {ab}\left( {a + b}\right) ≢ 0{\;\operatorname{mod...
Proof. We just transform the expression of Theorem 10 and use GS 4. We have\n\n\[ \n\psi \left( {{\chi }^{a},{\chi }^{b}}\right) = \frac{\tau \left( {\chi }^{a}\right) \tau \left( {\chi }^{b}\right) }{\tau \left( {\chi }^{a + b}\right) }\n\]\n\nand hence\n\n\[ \n\psi \left( {{\chi }^{a},{\chi }^{b}}\right) \sim {\mathf...

Theorem 0. Let \( k \) be a number field. There exist two numbers \( {c}_{1},{c}_{2} > 0 \) depending only on \( k \), such that for any \( {M}_{k} \) -divisor \( \mathfrak{c} \), we have\n\n\[ \n{c}_{1}\parallel \mathfrak{c}{\parallel }_{k} < \lambda \left( \mathfrak{c}\right) \leqq \sup \left\lbrack {1,{c}_{2}\parall...
Proof. Suppose that there is at least one complex absolute value \( {v}_{0} \) in \( {M}_{k} \) . We identify \( {k}_{{v}_{0}} \) with the complex plane, and consider the square centered at the origin, with sides of length \( 2\mathfrak{c}\left( {v}_{0}\right) \) . Let \( m \) be an integer such that\n\n\[ \nm < \lambd...
