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.

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.
