Cardinalities of Frobenius place stabilizers #
This file supplies the local cardinality identities required by the Frobenius-coset form of Burnside averaging.
Suppose a place of a relative Galois extension has absolute degree [S : C]
and lies above a degree-one place. Multiplicativity of place degree then says
that its relative inertia degree is [S : C]. The decomposition-group formula
and the finite-field identity
|Aut_C(S)| = [S : C]
show that its stabilizer has cardinality
|restricted quotient kernel| * |Aut_C(S)|,
provided the restricted quotient kernel is identified with inertia. Both
finite places and places above infinity are covered, first for the underlying
decomposition groups and then in the restriction-fiber actions used by
sum_card_fixedBy_quotientFiber_eq_card_ker_of_stabilizer_card.
A finite place of degree [S : C] above a degree-one place has the
decomposition-group cardinality required by Frobenius-coset averaging, once
the restricted constant quotient kernel is identified with inertia.
The corresponding decomposition-group cardinality identity for a place above infinity.
Restriction-fiber form of the finite-place cardinality identity. Its conclusion is exactly the stabilizer hypothesis consumed by the cardinality form of Frobenius-coset Burnside averaging.
