Class field theory studies finitedimensional abelian field extensions of number fields and of function fields, hence of global fields by relating them to the idele class group.
A field is called local if it is complete with respect to a discrete valuation and has a finite residue field. In this section we consider the isomorphism theorem.

In the case of local class field theory, we are mainly interested in abelian extensions of nonar. Class field theory clarifies the origin of various reciprocity laws in number theory. Local class field theory is a theory of abelian extensions of socalled local fields, typical examples of which are the padic number fields. Our class field theory for curves over local fields corresponds to the case n 1 and dim x 1, and one of the most notable differences of the theory for n 2 1 from that for n 0 is the existence of nontrivial etale coverings of x in which all closed point split completely. This observation has a long history going back to fermat and euler. There are undoubtably mistakes in these notes, and they are the authors alone. It is worth noting that we will later apply our main theorem 4. Introduction let k be a local field with finite residue field. It covers abelian extensions in particular of socalled local fields, typical examples of which are the padic number fields. Introduction class eld theory is the description of abelian extensions of global elds and local elds.
The basic one dimensional class field theory stems from the ideas of kronecker. View merger and acquisition research papers on academia. Global class field theory is a major achievement of algebraic number theory, based on the artin reciprocity map and the existence theorem. The mathematical sciences research institute msri, founded in 1982, is an independent nonprofit mathematical research institution whose funding sources include the national science foundation, foundations, corporations, and more than 90 universities and institutions. The first contains basic definitions and results on discrete valuation rings, dedekind domains which are their globalisation and the completion process. The label \ class eld refers to a eld extension satisfying a technical property that is historically related to ideal class groups, and one of the main theorems is that class elds.
