ray class field


Proposition 1.

Let L/K be a finite abelian extensionMathworldPlanetmath of number fieldsMathworldPlanetmath, and letOK be the ring of integersMathworldPlanetmath of K. There exists anintegral ideal COK, divisible byprecisely the prime idealsPlanetmathPlanetmath of K that ramify in L, such that

((α),L/K)=1,αK,α1mod𝒞

where((α),L/K) is the Artin mapMathworldPlanetmath.

Definition 1.

The conductorPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath of a finite abelian extension L/K is thelargest ideal CL/KOK satisfyingthe above properties.

Note that there is a “largest ideal” with this condition becauseif propositionPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath 1 is true for 𝒞1,𝒞2 then itis also true for 𝒞1+𝒞2.

Definition 2.

Let I be an integral ideal of K. A ray classfield of K (modulo I) is a finite abelian extensionKI/K with the property that for any other finiteabelian extension L/K with conductor CL/K,

𝒞L/KLK

Note: It can be proved that there is a unique ray class field witha given conductor. In words, the ray class field is the biggestabelian extension of K with a given conductor (although theconductor of K does not necessarily equal !, see example 2).

Remark: Let 𝔭 be a prime of K unramified in L, and let 𝔓 be a prime above 𝔭. Then (𝔭,L/K)=1 if and only if the extensionPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath of residue fields is of degree 1

[𝒪L/𝔓:𝒪K/𝔭]=1

if and only if 𝔭 splits completely in L. Thus we obtain a characterizationMathworldPlanetmath of the ray class field of conductor 𝒞 as the abelian extension of K such that a prime of K splits completely if and only if it is of the form

(α),αK,α1mod𝒞

Examples:

  1. 1.

    The ray class field of of conductor N is theNth-cyclotomic extension of . More concretely, letζN be a primitive Nth root of unityMathworldPlanetmath. Then

    N=(ζN)
  2. 2.
    (i)(2)=(i)

    so the conductor of(i)(2)/ is (1).

  3. 3.

    K(1), the ray class field of conductor (1), is themaximal abelian extension of K which is unramified everywhere.It is, in fact, the Hilbert class fieldMathworldPlanetmath of K.
