Explicit class field theory for global function fields

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: Let F be a global function field and let F^ab be its maximal abelian extension. Following an approach of D.Hayes, we shall construct a continuous homomorphism ho: Gal(F^ab/F) o C_F, where C_F is the idele class group of F. Using class field theory, we shall show that our ho is an isomorphism of topological groups whose inverse is the Artin map of F. As a consequence of the construction of ho, we obtain an explicit description of F^ab. Fix a place infty of F, and let A be the subring of F consisting of those elements which are regular away from infty. We construct ho by combining the Galois action on the torsion points of a suitable Drinfeld A-module with an associated infty-adic representation studied by J.-K. Yu.
