Affine ideal degrees in a finite function field #
The finite class group of the normalization of K[X] controls ideal classes,
but an affine ideal zeta series also needs finite coefficient sets. This file
provides that missing finiteness layer for a finite separable extension of
K(X) over a finite field K.
First, every nonzero quotient of K[X] is finite: a nonzero ideal contains a
monic polynomial up to multiplication by a unit, and its quotient maps onto
the original quotient. Module finiteness transfers this property to the
normalization of K[X] in the function field. For a nonzero ideal I, its
affine degree is then the K-dimension of the quotient by I. Consequently
cardQuot I = |K| ^ degree(I),
and Mathlib's bounded-quotient-cardinality theorem makes the ideals of each fixed degree into a finite type. No Riemann--Roch or Hasse--Weil input is used.
