Lemma 3.6.21. Denote by \( j \) the canonical isomorphism from \( {\left( \mathbb{Z}/m\mathbb{Z}\right) }^{ * } \) to \( G \) such that \( j\left( t\right) = {\sigma }_{t} \), and complex conjugation \( {\sigma }_{-1} \) by \( \iota \) .

By definition of \( {e}_{\chi } \) we have\n\n\[{\sigma }_{t}{e}_{\chi } = \frac{1}{\phi \left( m\right) }\mathop{\sum }\limits_{{\sigma \in G}}\chi \left( \sigma \right) {\sigma }_{t}{\sigma }^{-1} = \frac{1}{\phi \left( m\right) }\mathop{\sum }\limits_{{\sigma \in G}}\chi \left( {\sigma {\sigma }_{t}}\right) {...

Lemma 3.6.22. (1) \( A\mathbb{C} \) -basis of \( \mathbb{C}{\left\lbrack G\right\rbrack }^{ - } \) is given by the \( {e}_{\chi } \) for \( \chi \left( \iota \right) = - 1 \) , in other words such that \( \chi \circ j \) is an odd character.
Proof. (1). Since \( {\sigma }_{t}{e}_{\chi } = \chi \left( {\sigma }_{t}\right) {e}_{\chi } \) we have \( \iota {e}_{\chi } = \chi \left( \iota \right) {e}_{\chi } = - {e}_{\chi } \) if \( \chi \left( \iota \right) = \) -1, so such \( {e}_{\chi } \) are in \( \mathbb{C}{\left\lbrack G\right\rbrack }^{ - } \) .

Lemma 3.6.24. (1) \( {\left( \frac{x}{\mathrm{p}}\right) }_{m} \) is characterized by the fact that it is a character of order \( m \) such that\n\n\[{\left( \frac{x}{\mathfrak{p}}\right) }_{m} \equiv {x}^{\left( {q - 1}\right) /m}\left( {\;\operatorname{mod}\;\mathfrak{p}}\right) .\]
Proof. (1) is the translation of the corresponding properties of the character \( {\omega }_{\mathfrak{P}} \), and (2) from the fact that the natural inclusion map from \( {K}_{m} \) to \( L \) induces a canonical isomorphism between \( {\mathbb{Z}}_{{K}_{m}}/\mathfrak{p} \) and \( {\mathbb{Z}}_{L}/\mathfrak{P} \) .

Proposition 3.6.26. We have:\n\n(1) \( {\left| G\left( \mathfrak{a}\right) \right| }^{2} = \mathcal{N}{\left( \mathfrak{a}\right) }^{m} \) .\n\n(2) \( G\left( \mathfrak{a}\right) {\mathbb{Z}}_{{K}_{m}} = {\mathfrak{a}}^{\gamma } \), where \( \gamma = {m\Theta } \) is as above.\n\n(3) If \( \alpha \in {\mathbb{Z}}_{{K}_...

If \( \mathfrak{p} \) is a prime, by Proposition 2.5.9 we have \( {\left| G\left( \mathfrak{p}\right) \right| }^{2} = {\left| \tau \left( {\omega }_{\mathfrak{P}}^{-d}\right) \right| }^{2m} = \) \( {q}^{m} = \mathcal{N}{\left( \mathfrak{p}\right) }^{m} \), so (1) follows by multiplicativity.

Lemma 3.6.27. For any integral ideal a prime to \( m \) and any \( \sigma \in \operatorname{Gal}\left( {{K}_{m}/\mathbb{Q}}\right) \) we have \( G{\left( \mathfrak{a}\right) }^{\sigma } = G\left( {\mathfrak{a}}^{\sigma }\right) \) .

Lemma 3.6.28. If \( \alpha \in {\mathbb{Z}}_{{K}_{m}} \) then \( {\left| {\alpha }^{\gamma }\right| }^{2} = \mathcal{N}{\left( \alpha \right) }^{m} \) .
Proof. Since \( {\sigma }_{-1} \) sends \( {\zeta }_{m} \) to \( {\zeta }_{m}^{-1} \) it is complex conjugation. Thus\n\n\[ \n{\left| {\alpha }^{\gamma }\right| }^{2} = {\alpha }^{\gamma }{\sigma }_{-1}\left( {\alpha }^{\gamma }\right) = {\alpha }^{\left( {1 + {\sigma }_{-1}}\right) \gamma }.\n\]\n\nDenoting by \( \mat...

Proposition 3.6.29. The element \( \varepsilon \left( \alpha \right) \) is a root of unity. In other words, there exist \( i \in \mathbb{Z} \) and a sign \( \pm \) such that \( G\left( \alpha \right) = \pm {\zeta }_{m}^{i}{\alpha }^{\gamma } \) .

By Proposition 3.6.26 (1) and (3) we have\n\n\[ \n{\left| G\left( \alpha \right) \right| }^{2} = {\left| \mathcal{N}\left( \alpha \right) \right| }^{m} = {\left| \varepsilon \left( \alpha \right) \right| }^{2}{\left| {\alpha }^{\gamma }\right| }^{2} = {\left| \varepsilon \left( \alpha \right) \right| }^{2}\mathc...

Proof. Let \( {f}_{1} \) and \( {f}_{2} \) respectively be the orders of \( {p}_{1} \) and \( {p}_{2} \) modulo \( m \) , so that by Proposition 3.5.18 we have \( f\left( {{\mathfrak{p}}_{i}/p}\right) = {f}_{i} \) .

Proof. Clear since by definition \( {\left( \frac{ \cdot }{\mathfrak{a}}\right) }_{m} \) is a character and is multiplicative in \( \mathfrak{a} \), and \( G\left( \mathfrak{a}\right) \) and \( \mathcal{N}\left( \mathfrak{a}\right) \) are also multiplicative.

Lemma 3.6.35. If \( \alpha \in R \) is coprime to \( \ell \) there exists \( i \in \mathbb{Z} \), unique modulo \( \ell \), such that \( {\zeta }_{\ell }^{i}\alpha \) is primary.
Proof. Since \( f\left( {\mathcal{L}/\ell }\right) = 1 \) we have \( R/\mathcal{L} \simeq \mathbb{Z}/\ell \mathbb{Z} \), so there exists \( a \in \mathbb{Z} \) , evidently unique modulo \( \ell \), such that \( \alpha \equiv a\left( {\;\operatorname{mod}\;\mathcal{L}}\right) \) .

Lemma 3.6.36. If \( \alpha \) is primary we have \( \varepsilon \left( \alpha \right) = \pm 1 \) .

Proof. Since \( \alpha \) is primary the above lemma tells us that \( \varepsilon \left( \alpha \right) = \pm 1 \) . On the other hand, for all \( \mathfrak{p} \) coprime to \( \ell ,{\chi }_{\mathfrak{p}} \) is a character of order \( \ell \), we have \( {\chi }_{\mathfrak{p}}{\left( \pm 1\right) }^{\ell } = 1 \) and ...

Theorem 3.6.38 (Eisenstein). Let \( \ell \) be an odd prime, \( a \in \mathbb{Z} \) an integer not divisible by \( \ell ,\alpha \in R \) a primary element, and assume that \( {\alpha R} \) and \( {aR} \) are coprime. Then\n\n\[{\left( \frac{\alpha }{a}\right) }_{\ell } = {\left( \frac{a}{\alpha }\right) }_{\ell }\]
Proof. As usual, by multiplicativity it is enough to prove this when \( a = p \) is a prime number different from \( \ell \) and prime to \( {\alpha R} \) . Let \( \mathfrak{p} \) be a prime ideal of \( R \) above \( p, f = f\left( {\mathfrak{p}/p}\right) \), so that \( \mathcal{N}\left( \mathfrak{p}\right) = {p}^{f} \...

Proposition 3.7.1. Recall that \( \{ z\} \) denotes the fractional part of \( z \in \mathbb{R} \) .\n\n(1) If \( k \) and \( m \) are coprime integers and \( z \in \mathbb{R} \) we have\n\n\[ \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{0 \leq a < m}}\left\{ \frac{{ka} + z}{m}\right\} = \frac{m - 1}{2} + \{ z\} .\n\]
Proof. (1). The expression \( \{ \left( {{ka} + z}\right) /m\} \) depends only on \( a \) modulo \( m \) ; hence we may replace the summation by \( \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{a \in \mathbb{Z}/m\mathbb{Z}}} \) . Since \( k \) is coprime to \( m \) , multiplication by \( k \) is an automorphism of \( \mathbb{Z}/m\mathbb{Z} ...

Proposition 3.7.2. If \( m \mid \left( {q - 1}\right) \) and \( d = \left( {q - 1}\right) /m \), then for all \( b \in \mathbb{Z} \) we have \[ \frac{{m}^{mb}\mathop{\prod }\limits_{{0 \leq a < m}}t\left( {{da} + b}\right) }{t\left( {mb}\right) \mathop{\prod }\limits_{{0 \leq a < m}}t\left( {da}\right) } \equiv 1\left(...
Proof. Consider the left-hand side as a function \( F\left( b\right) \) of \( b \) . We have evidently \( F\left( 0\right) = 1 \) . Furthermore, \( t\left( {m\left( {b + d}\right) }\right) = t\left( {{mb} + q - 1}\right) = t\left( {mb}\right) \) , \( \mathop{\prod }\limits_{{0 \leq a < m}}t\left( {{da} + b + d}\right) ...

Corollary 3.7.6. Assume that \( p \) is odd, let \( q = {p}^{f} \), and let \( {\chi }_{q} \) be the unique multiplicative character of order 2 of \( {\mathbb{F}}_{q} \) . We have \[ \tau \left( {{\chi }_{q},{\psi }_{1}}\right) = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} {\left( -1\right) }^{f - 1}{q}^{1/2} & \text{ if }p \equiv 1\lef...
Proof. Denote by \( {\chi }_{p} \) the Legendre symbol modulo \( p \) . We have \( {\mathcal{N}}_{{\mathbb{F}}_{q}/{\mathbb{F}}_{p}}\left( x\right) = \) \( \mathop{\prod }\limits_{{0 \leq i < f}}{x}^{{p}^{i}} = {x}^{\left( {q - 1}\right) /\left( {p - 1}\right) } \), hence \[ {\chi }_{p} \circ {\mathcal{N}}_{{\mathbb{F}...

Proof. We use the notation of Section 2.5.5 and also keep the notation used in the proof of the HD lifting relation. By Corollary 2.5.24 we have\n\n\[ \n{M}_{n}\left( q\right) = \frac{{q}^{n\left( {k - 1}\right) } - 1}{{q}^{n} - 1} + {R}_{n}\left( q\right) \;\text{ with } \n\]\n\n\[ \n{R}_{n}\left( q\right) = \mathop{\...

Lemma 4.1.3. Two absolute values \( \parallel {\parallel }_{1} \) and \( \parallel {\parallel }_{2} \) are equivalent if and only if there exists \( c > 0 \) such that \( \parallel x{\parallel }_{2} = \parallel x{\parallel }_{1}^{c} \) for all \( x \in K \) .
Proof. If \( \parallel x{\parallel }_{2} = \parallel x{\parallel }_{1}^{c} \), for each \( R > 0 \) we have \( {B}_{1}\left( {0, R}\right) = {B}_{2}\left( {0,{R}^{c}}\right) \) , where \( {B}_{i}\left( {0, R}\right) \) denotes the open ball of radius \( R \) for the metric induced by \( \parallel {\parallel }_{i} \) ; ...

Corollary 4.1.6. Let \( K \) be a number field and \( \left( {{r}_{1},{r}_{2}}\right) \) its signature. There exist exactly \( {r}_{1} + {r}_{2} \) inequivalent Archimedean absolute values on \( K \), corresponding to the \( {r}_{1} \) real embeddings and to the \( {r}_{2} \) pairs of complex conjugate embeddings.
Proof. By the above lemma, an Archimedean absolute value is equivalent to one defined by \( \parallel \alpha \parallel = \left| {\sigma \left( \alpha \right) }\right| \) for some fixed embedding \( \sigma \) of \( K \) into \( \mathbb{C} \) , and conversely, any such embedding gives rise to an Archimedean absolute valu...

Lemma 4.1.7. An absolute value \( \parallel \parallel \) on a field \( K \) is non-Archimedean if and only if it satisfies the so-called ultrametric inequality\n\n\[ \parallel x + y\parallel \leq \max \left( {\parallel x\parallel ,\parallel y\parallel }\right) . \]
Proof. Assume first that \( \parallel \parallel \) satisfies the ordinary triangle inequality, i.e., that we can choose \( a = 1 \) in Definition 4.1.1. Then by the binomial theorem, for any positive integer \( N \) we have\n\n\[ \parallel x + y{\parallel }^{N} = \begin{Vmatrix}{\mathop{\sum }\limits_{{0 \leq n \leq N}...

Corollary 4.1.8. Let \( \parallel \parallel \) be an ultrametric absolute value.\n\n(1) When \( \parallel x\parallel \neq \parallel y\parallel \) we have equality in the ultrametric inequality:\n\n\[ \parallel x + y\parallel = \max \left( {\parallel x\parallel ,\parallel y\parallel }\right) . \]
Proof. (1) Assume for instance that \( \parallel y\parallel < \parallel x\parallel \) . Writing \( x = \left( {x + y}\right) + \left( {-y}\right) \) , we see that \( \parallel x\parallel \leq \max \left( {\parallel x + y\parallel ,\parallel y\parallel }\right) \) . The maximum cannot be equal to \( \parallel y\parallel...

Proposition 4.1.9. Let \( \parallel \parallel \) be an ultrametric absolute value on a field \( K \) . Let \( A = \{ x \in K/\parallel x\parallel \leq 1\} \) and \( \mathfrak{p} = \{ x \in K/\parallel x\parallel < 1\} \) . Then \( A \) is a local ring with maximal ideal \( \mathfrak{p} \) and field of fractions \( K \)...
Proof. The fact that \( A \) is a ring immediately follows from the ultrametric inequality. It is clear that if \( x \in {K}^{ * } \) then either \( x \) or \( 1/x \) belongs to \( A \), so \( K \) is the field of fractions of \( A \) . Finally, \( x \in A \) is invertible in \( A \) if and only if \( \parallel x\paral...

Theorem 4.1.13 (Ostrowski). The places of a number field \( K \) are in one-to-one correspondence with on the one hand the \( {r}_{1} \) real embeddings and \( {r}_{2} \) pairs of nonreal complex conjugate embeddings of \( K \) into \( \mathbb{C} \), corresponding to the Archimedean absolute values (called the infinite...
Although places are determined up to equivalence, there is a canonical way to define them uniquely.
