Proof.

By Exercise 4 , we obtain (9.12):

[ λ ] H f = [ λ 1 ] H f [ λ d ] H f , λ = λ 1 .

We must prove that every period ( f , λ j ) , j = 1 , , d , is of the form ( f , λ j ) = σ ( η ) = σ ( ( f , λ ) ) , where σ Gal ( ( ζ p ) L f ) .

Write [ i ] = [ λ ] 1 [ λ j ] . As [ λ j ] [ λ ] H f , then [ i ] = [ λ ] 1 [ λ j ] H f .

Since [ λ j ] = [ ] ,

( f , λ j ) = ( f , ) , i H f .

Let σ Gal ( ( ζ p ) L f ) be defined by σ ( ζ p ) = ζ p i , where [ i ] H f , so by Lemma 9.2.4(c),

( f , λ j ) = ( f , ) = σ ( η ) , σ Gal ( ( ζ p ) L f ) .

Every ( f , λ j ) , j = 1 , , d , is a conjugate of ( f , λ ) over L f . □
