Local place actions in a Frobenius fiber #
This file supplies the local ideal-theoretic bridge used by the Frobenius-coset step of the Hasse--Weil argument.
First, if a maximal ideal has residue degree one over a constant field S,
then the kernel of the constant restriction map on its decomposition group is
exactly its inertia group. This is proved directly from the induced action on
the residue field; it assumes no point-count estimate.
Second, relative Galois conjugation preserves absolute place degree, so it acts on places of any prescribed degree. On each finite or infinity restriction fiber, the stabilizer of a point is identified with the existing decomposition group.
If a maximal ideal has residue degree one over S, and the action on the
ambient ring restricts along π to the stated action on S, then the kernel
of π on the decomposition group is exactly the inertia group.
