Frobenius Endomorphism - Frobenius For Global Fields

Frobenius For Global Fields

In algebraic number theory, Frobenius elements are defined for extensions L/K of global fields that are finite Galois extensions for prime ideals Φ of L that are unramified in L/K. Since the extension is unramified the decomposition group of Φ is the Galois group of the extension of residue fields. The Frobenius element then can be defined for elements of the ring of integers of L as in the local case, by

where q is the order of the residue field OK mod Φ.

Lifts of the Frobenius are in correspondence with p-derivations.

Famous quotes containing the words global and/or fields:

    As the global expansion of Indian and Chinese restaurants suggests, xenophobia is directed against foreign people, not foreign cultural imports.
    Eric J. Hobsbawm (b. 1917)

    Smart lad, to slip betimes away
    From fields where glory does not stay,
    And early though the laurel grows
    It withers quicker than the rose.
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)
