Context: I've been reading Tate's thesis, and in it, we defined the character group for $k^{*}$ and $k^{+}$ for a local field $k$. Here we take the range of the characters to be $S_{1}$ for $k^{+}$ ...

In the answers to Qiaochu's post on defining representations of finite groups over the algebraic integers, it came out that which fields a representation of a finite group is defined over might depend ...

In several of Langlands' papers: Representations of Abelian Algebraic Groups, On Artin's L-functions, On the Functional Equation of Artin's L-functions, Langlands takes a finite Galois extension $K/F$ ...

Let $p$ be an odd prime and let $F/\mathbb{Q}$ be a Galois extension with Galois group $D_{2p}$, let $K$ be the intermediate quadratic extension of $\mathbb{Q}$, and $L$ an intermediate degree $p$ ...
