Abstract: We present several new examples of reflection principles which apply to both class groups of number fields and picard groups of of curves over $mathbb{P}^1/mathbb{F}_p$. This proves a conjecture of Lemmermeyer about equality of 2-rank in subfields of $A_4$, up to a constant not depending on the discriminant in the number field case, and exactly in the function field case. More generally we prove similar relations for subfields of a Galois extension with group $G$ for the cases when $G$ is $S_3$, $S_4$, $A_4$, $D_{2l}$ and $mathbbZ/lmathbbZtimesmathbbZ/rmathbbZ$. The method of proof uses sheaf cohomology on 1-dimensional schemes, which reduces to Galois module computations.
