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.
