Can global fields be defined as certain topological fields like local fields?
It's known that local fields can be defined as a non-discrete, Hausdorff (equivalently non-indiscrete), locally compact, topological field, which is the same as non-trivial (i.e. neither discrete nor ...

Global Artin reciprocity law from Local class field theory
Let $K=\mathbb F_q((t)), p -$ prime ideal in $K$, $\psi_p$ be the local Artin map$K_p^* \to Gal(K_p^{ab}/K_p)=G_p \subset Gal(K^{ab}/K)$. Then I define global Artin map $\psi_K$as product of $\psi_p$, ...

Learning Class Field Theory: Local or Global First?
I've noticed that there seem to be two approaches to learning class field theory. The first is to first learn about local fields and local class field theory, and then prove the basic theorems about ...
