# Class numbers of global fields #

In this file, we use the notion of "admissible absolute value" to prove finiteness of the class group for number fields and function fields, and define class_number as the order of this group.

## Main definitions #

• class_group.fintype_of_admissible: if R has an admissible absolute value, its integral closure has a finite class group
def class_group.norm_bound {R : Type u_1} {S : Type u_2} [ S] (abv : ) {ι : Type u_5} [decidable_eq ι] [fintype ι] (bS : R S) :

If b is an R-basis of S of cardinality n, then norm_bound abv b is an integer such that for every R-integral element a : S with coordinates ≤ y, we have algebra.norm a ≤ norm_bound abv b * y ^ n. (See alsonorm_leandnorm_lt).

abv ((algebra.norm R) a) bS) *

If the R-integral element a : S has coordinates ≤ y with respect to some basis b, its norm is less than norm_bound abv b * y ^ dim S.

(abv ((algebra.norm R) a)) < ( bS)) *

If the R-integral element a : S has coordinates < y with respect to some basis b, its norm is strictly less than norm_bound abv b * y ^ dim S.

theorem class_group.exists_min {R : Type u_1} {S : Type u_2} [ S] (abv : ) (I : (ideal S)) :
∃ (b : S) (H : b I), b 0 ∀ (c : S), c Iabv ((algebra.norm R) c) < abv ((algebra.norm R) b)c = 0

A nonzero ideal has an element of minimal norm.

If we have a large enough set of elements in R^ι, then there will be a pair whose remainders are close together. We'll show that all sets of cardinality at least cardM bS adm elements satisfy this condition.

The value of cardM is not at all optimal: for specific choices of R, the minimum cardinality can be exponentially smaller.

In the following results, we need a large set of distinct elements of R.

class_group.mk_M_mem is a specialization of class_group.mk0 to (the finite set of) ideals that contain M := ∏ m in finset_approx L f abs, m. By showing this function is surjective, we prove that the class group is finite.
