Class numbers of global fields

In this file, we use the notion of "admissible absolute value" to prove finiteness of the class group for number fields and function fields.

Main definitions

• ClassGroup.fintypeOfAdmissibleOfAlgebraic: if R has an admissible absolute value, its integral closure has a finite class group

noncomputable def ClassGroup.normBound {R : Type u_1} {S : Type u_2} [EuclideanDomain R] [CommRing S] [IsDomain S] [Algebra R S] (abv : AbsoluteValue R ℤ) {ι : Type u_5} [DecidableEq ι] [Fintype ι] (bS : Basis ι R S) : ℤ

If b is an R-basis of S of cardinality n, then normBound abv b is an integer such that for every R-integral element a : S with coordinates ≤ y, we have algebra.norm a ≤ norm_bound abv b * y ^ n. (See also norm_leandnorm_lt`).

If the R-integral element a : S has coordinates ≤ y with respect to some basis b, its norm is less than normBound abv b * y ^ dim S.

theorem ClassGroup.norm_lt {R : Type u_1} {S : Type u_2} [EuclideanDomain R] [CommRing S] [IsDomain S] [Algebra R S] (abv : AbsoluteValue R ℤ) {ι : Type u_5} [DecidableEq ι] [Fintype ι] (bS : Basis ι R S) {T : Type u_6} [LinearOrderedRing T] (a : S) {y : T} (hy : ∀ (k : ι), ↑(abv ((bS.repr a) k)) < y) : ↑(abv ((Algebra.norm R) a)) < ↑(ClassGroup.normBound abv bS) * y ^ Fintype.card ι

If the R-integral element a : S has coordinates < y with respect to some basis b, its norm is strictly less than normBound abv b * y ^ dim S.

A nonzero ideal has an element of minimal norm.

noncomputable def ClassGroup.cardM {R : Type u_1} {S : Type u_2} [EuclideanDomain R] [CommRing S] [IsDomain S] [Algebra R S] {abv : AbsoluteValue R ℤ} {ι : Type u_5} [DecidableEq ι] [Fintype ι] (bS : Basis ι R S) (adm : AbsoluteValue.IsAdmissible abv) : ℕ

If we have a large enough set of elements in R^ι, then there will be a pair whose remainders are close together. We'll show that all sets of cardinality at least cardM bS adm elements satisfy this condition.

The value of cardM is not at all optimal: for specific choices of R, the minimum cardinality can be exponentially smaller.

Equations

• ClassGroup.cardM bS adm = adm.card (↑(ClassGroup.normBound abv bS) ^ (-1 / ↑(Fintype.card ι))) ^ Fintype.card ι

noncomputable def ClassGroup.distinctElems {R : Type u_1} {S : Type u_2} [EuclideanDomain R] [CommRing S] [IsDomain S] [Algebra R S] {abv : AbsoluteValue R ℤ} {ι : Type u_5} [DecidableEq ι] [Fintype ι] (bS : Basis ι R S) (adm : AbsoluteValue.IsAdmissible abv) [Infinite R] : Fin (Nat.succ (ClassGroup.cardM bS adm)) ↪ R

In the following results, we need a large set of distinct elements of R.

finsetApprox is a finite set such that each fractional ideal in the integral closure contains an element close to finsetApprox.

ClassGroup.mkMMem is a specialization of ClassGroup.mk0 to (the finite set of) ideals that contain M := ∏ m in finsetApprox L f abs, m. By showing this function is surjective, we prove that the class group is finite.

The class number theorem: the class group of an integral closure S of R in an algebraic extension L is finite if there is an admissible absolute value.

See also ClassGroup.fintypeOfAdmissibleOfFinite where L is a finite extension of K = Frac(R), supplying most of the required assumptions automatically.
