Splits Completely

TheoremTrivial decomposition group and the number of primes above#✓fully proved

Let \(B\) be a commutative algebra over a commutative ring \(A\), and let a finite group \(G\) act on \(B\) by \(A\)-algebra automorphisms such that every element of \(B\) fixed by \(G\) is the image of an element of \(A\). Let \(p\) be an ideal of \(A\) and \(P\) a prime of \(B\) lying over \(p\). Then the stabilizer of \(P\) in \(G\) (the decomposition group of \(P\)) is trivial if and only if the number of primes of \(B\) lying over \(p\) equals the order of \(G\).

TheoremTrivial Frobenius and the number of primes above, assuming the Frobenius generates#✓fully proved

Let \(B\) be a commutative algebra over a commutative ring \(A\), and let a finite group \(G\) act on \(B\) by \(A\)-algebra automorphisms such that every element of \(B\) fixed by \(G\) is the image of an element of \(A\). Let \(p\) be an ideal of \(A\) and \(P\) a prime of \(B\) lying over \(p\) with \(B/P\) finite, and let \(\mathrm{Frob}_P \in G\) be the chosen arithmetic Frobenius element at \(P\), an element \(\sigma \in G\) with \(\sigma(x) \equiv x^q \pmod P\) for all \(x \in B\), where \(q\) is the number of elements of \(A/p\). Suppose every element of the stabilizer of \(P\) in \(G\) equals \(\mathrm{Frob}_P^n\) for some natural number \(n\). Then \(\mathrm{Frob}_P = 1\) if and only if the number of primes of \(B\) lying over \(p\) equals the order of \(G\).

Unramified

TheoremThe Frobenius element generates the decomposition group at an unramified prime#✓fully proved

Let \(A\) and \(B\) be integral domains with \(B\) a finite flat \(A\)-algebra, and let \(G\) be a finite group acting faithfully on \(B\) by \(A\)-algebra automorphisms such that every element of \(B\) fixed by \(G\) is the image of an element of \(A\). Let \(p\) be a prime of \(A\) and \(P\) a prime of \(B\) lying over \(p\), with \(B/P\) finite and \(B\) unramified over \(A\) at \(P\) (the localization \(B_P\) is formally unramified over \(A\)). Let \(\mathrm{Frob}_P \in G\) be the chosen arithmetic Frobenius element at \(P\), an element \(\sigma \in G\) with \(\sigma(x) \equiv x^q \pmod P\) for all \(x \in B\), where \(q\) is the number of elements of \(A/p\). Then every element of the stabilizer of \(P\) in \(G\) (the decomposition group of \(P\)) equals \(\mathrm{Frob}_P^n\) for some natural number \(n\).
