Making sense of capitulation: reciprocal primes
Let ℓ be a rational prime, K be a number field that contains a primitive ℓth root of unity, L an abelian extension of K whose degree over K, [L:K], is divisible by ℓ, a prime ideal of K whose ideal class has order ℓ in the ideal class group of K, and any generator of the principal ideal . We will call a prime ideal of K ’reciprocal to ’ if its Frobenius element generates for every choice of . We then show that becomes principal in L if and only if every reciprocal prime is not a norm inside...
