Galois covariance of cyclotomic power-residue symbols #

This file proves that the direct p-th power-residue symbol is equivariant for the natural Galois actions on its numerator and finite prime. The same formula is then extended to the total prime symbol and to nonzero fractional ideals.

Membership in a finite prime is preserved by simultaneous Galois transport of the element and the prime.

Nonmembership in a finite prime is preserved by simultaneous Galois transport of the element and the prime.

The rational prime remains outside a transported finite prime whenever it was outside the original prime.

The direct prime p-th power-residue symbol is Galois covariant when both its numerator and finite prime are transported.

The total prime p-th power-residue symbol is Galois covariant. At primes dividing the numerator or p, both sides are one.

The fractional p-th power-residue symbol is Galois covariant under simultaneous transport of its integral numerator and fractional ideal.
