Residue weight of a normalized cyclotomic Kummer radicand #

A Kummer radicand transforms through the square of the direct cyclotomic character only up to a p-th power in the fraction field. This file clears that field-valued witness at one finite prime and proves the resulting direct-character-square identity for total power-residue symbols.

The clearance uses Mathlib's IsDedekindDomain.HeightOneSpectrum.exists_primeCompl_mul_eq_of_integer. No external reciprocity theorem is invoked here.

A normalized integral Kummer radicand has direct-character-square residue weight at a finite prime when its whole Galois orbit avoids the numerator.

The orbitwise support condition is essential. A field-valued Kummer witness can have a denominator at a conjugate prime even when the original prime avoids eta; clearing it locally needs both integral representatives to be units at the transported prime.
