III --> Ш
Aug 3, 2011 at 3:00 comment added Chandan Singh Dalawat Mikhail Borovoi, I went to translate.google.com, translated Shafarevich from English to Russian, and copy-pasted the first letter.
Aug 2, 2011 at 16:02 comment added Mikhail Borovoi @Chandan Singh Dalawat: How did you type Cyrillic Sha in MO?
Aug 2, 2011 at 5:42 comment added Chandan Singh Dalawat Would be nice to insert the Cyrillic Ш instead of III.

divides --> does not divide
Aug 1, 2011 at 18:14 comment added Franz Lemmermeyer My definition of locally principal does not mean that the ideal is principal in the localization, which, as you're saying, is always the case. Essentially locally principal means that there is no "genus obstruction" to being principal. In the quadratic case of a field with discriminant $4m$, an ideal with norm $a$ is locally principal if $x^2 - my^2 = a$ has local solutions everywhere.
Aug 1, 2011 at 16:40 comment added David E Speyer Thanks very much! I'm confused by the notion of a locally principal ideal. In a Dedekind domain, isn't every (nonzero) ideal locally principal?
