The Chevalley-Gras formula over global fields

Number Theory 2020-06-30 v3

Abstract

In this article we give an adelic proof of the Chevalley-Gras formula for global fields, which itself is a generalization of the ambiguous class number formula. The idea is to reduce the formula to the Hasse norm theorem, the local and global reciprocity laws. We also give an adelic proof of the Chevalley-Gras formula for 00-th divisor class group in the function field case, which extends a result of Rosen.
