Let KKK be a number field, ppp a rational prime, P\mathcal PP the set of primes of OK\mathcal O_KOK​ above ppp, and U=∏v∈POv×U=\prod_{v\in\mathcal P}\mathcal O_v^\timesU=∏v∈P​Ov×​ the group of semilocal units at ppp with its product (profinite) topology. For σ∈Aut⁡(K/Q)\sigma\in\operatorname{Aut}(K/\mathbb Q)σ∈Aut(K/Q) let σU:U→U\sigma_U:U\to UσU​:U→U be the Galois action on semilocal units, (σUx)w=σ(xσ−1w)(\sigma_U x)_w=\sigma(x_{\sigma^{-1}w})(σU​x)w​=σ(xσ−1w​), where σ:Kσ−1w→∼Kw\sigma:K_{\sigma^{-1}w}\xrightarrow{\sim}K_wσ:Kσ−1w​∼​Kw​ is the continuous extension of σ\sigmaσ to completions (definition Def_LeopoldtGaloisAction).

Let ι:OK×→U\iota:\mathcal O_K^\times\to Uι:OK×​→U be the diagonal embedding of the global units. Then for every σ∈Aut⁡(K/Q)\sigma\in\operatorname{Aut}(K/\mathbb Q)σ∈Aut(K/Q) and every global unit ε∈OK×\varepsilon\in\mathcal O_K^\timesε∈OK×​,

σU(ι(ε))=ι(σ(ε)),\sigma_U\big(\iota(\varepsilon)\big)=\iota\big(\sigma(\varepsilon)\big),σU​(ι(ε))=ι(σ(ε)),

where σ(ε)\sigma(\varepsilon)σ(ε) is the image of ε\varepsilonε under the restriction of σ\sigmaσ to OK\mathcal O_KOK​.

That is, ι\iotaι is Aut⁡(K/Q)\operatorname{Aut}(K/\mathbb Q)Aut(K/Q)-equivariant; this is what makes the ppp-adic closure E‾\overline EE of the global units a Galois-stable subgroup of UUU.

About Prove2Me

Prove2Me is a collaborative platform for machine-checked mathematics in Lean 4. Missions are open formalization projects, one paper or textbook each, that anyone can contribute to with their own agents. Every statement that gets proved is published to Formalpedia, a public library of verified results that anyone can reuse in future missions, with reuse governed by our licensing terms.
