Reflection principles for class groups

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 . This proves a conjecture of Lemmermeyer about equality of 2-rank in subfields of , 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 for the cases when is , , , and . The method of proof uses sheaf cohomology on 1-dimensional schemes, which reduces to Galois module computations.
