Algebra of cyclotomic power-residue symbols #
This file proves multiplication and p-th-power formulas in the numerator
of the direct power-residue symbol. Total-symbol multiplication is stated
only away from both numerators and p: the total symbol is deliberately set
to one at bad primes, so an unconditional multiplication formula would be
false. The corresponding fractional formula therefore carries explicit
support-avoidance hypotheses.
Away from both numerators and p, the direct prime power-residue symbol
is multiplicative in its numerator.
Away from its numerator and p, the direct symbol of a p-th-power
numerator is one.
The total prime symbol is multiplicative in the numerator provided the
prime avoids both numerators and p.
The total symbol of a p-th-power numerator is one at every finite
prime, including the primes where the direct symbol is not defined.
On a fractional ideal whose divisor support avoids both numerators and
p, the fractional residue product is multiplicative in the numerator.
A p-th-power numerator has trivial residue product on every nonzero
fractional ideal.
