Auxiliary file: ncard_isomorphic_mul_w—the orbit count of Remark 3° #
Every L in sigma K n is isomorphic to n / w L elements of sigma K n. We express this
by multiplying the cardinality of the isomorphism class by w L
([Serre 1978, Remark 3°, p.1031][Serre1978]). The count is the classical embedding argument:
L/Kis separable of degreenandSeparableClosure Kis separably closed, soLhas exactlynembeddings intoSeparableClosure K(natCard_algHom, viaField.embEquivOfAdjoinSplitsandField.finSepDegree_eq_finrank_of_isSeparable).- The image of an embedding stays in

No transport ofintegersor of the ramification data along the isomorphism is needed. - The embeddings with a given image
Mare a torsor under theK-automorphisms ofL: after choosing one isomorphisme Monto each member of the class, the map sending(M, g)to the composite ofg, thene M, then the inclusion ofMis a bijection from (class) × (automorphisms) onto the embeddings.
Taking Nat.card of the bijection gives that the number of M isomorphic to L, times w L, is
n, with no finiteness bookkeeping: Nat.card is junk-0-safe on both sides, and the finiteness
of the class is itself a corollary of the count.

The number of members of sigma K n that are K-isomorphic to L, times w L, is n
([Serre 1978, Remark 3°, p.1031][Serre1978]). The bijection behind the count sends a member M of
the class and a K-automorphism g of L to the embedding of L into SeparableClosure K
composing g, a chosen isomorphism e M onto M, and the inclusion of M; the embeddings number
n (natCard_algHom), and their images all lie in the class (fieldRange_mem_sigma).
