Questions tagged [galois-representations]
The term Galois representation is frequently used when the G-module is a vector space over a field or a free module over a ring, but can also be used as a synonym for G-module. The study of Galois modules for extensions of local or global fields is an important tool in number theory.

Local-global principle for split extensions of Galois representations
I guess the following is well-known (and probably follows from Chebotarev's density theorem, but I'm not very comfortable with it):
Define some notation:
