Abstract
We associate to a full flag in an -dimensional variety over a field , a "symbol map" . Here, is the field of rational functions on , and is the -theory spectrum. We prove a "reciprocity law" for these symbols: Given a partial flag, the sum of all symbols of full flags refining it is . Examining this result on the level of -groups, we re-obtain various "reciprocity laws". Namely, when is a smooth complete curve, we obtain degree of a principal divisor is zero, Weil reciprocity, Residue theorem, Contou-Carr\`{e}re reciprocity. When is higher-dimensional, we obtain Parshin reciprocity.
