Exercise 11.18

Let the notation be as in Exercise 16. Use the Hasse-Davenport relation to show that J ( χ 1 ′ , χ 2 ′ , … , χ n ′ ) = ( − 1 ) ( s − 1 ) ( n − 1 ) J ( χ 1 , χ 2 , … , χ n ) s , where the χ i are non trivial characters of F and χ 1 χ 2 ⋯ χ n ≠ 𝜀 .

Answers

Proof. Note that ( χρ ) ′ = χ ′ ρ ′ , thus ( χ 1 … χ n ) ′ = χ 1 ′ χ 2 ′ ⋯ χ n ′ .

The conditions on the characters, and Exercise 16, show that χ i ′ ≠ 𝜀 and χ 1 ′ χ 2 ′ ⋯ χ n ′ ≠ 𝜀 . By Theorem 3 of Chapter 8,

J ( χ 1 ′ , … , χ n ′ ) = g ( χ 1 ′ ) g ( χ 2 ′ ) ⋯ g ( χ n ′ ) g ( χ 1 ′ χ 2 ′ ⋯ χ n ′ ) .

Then the Hasse-Davenport relation gives

J ( χ 1 ′ , … , χ n ′ ) = [ − ( − g ( χ 1 ) ) s ] [ − ( − g ( χ 2 ) ) s ] ⋯ [ − ( − g ( χ n ) ) ] s ] − ( − g ( χ 1 χ 2 ⋯ χ n ) ) s = ( − 1 ) n − 1 ( − 1 ) s ( n − 1 ) ( g ( χ 1 ) g ( χ 2 ) ⋯ g ( χ n ) g ( χ 1 χ 2 ⋯ χ n ) ) s = ( − 1 ) ( s + 1 ) ( n − 1 ) J ( χ 1 , … , χ n ) s = ( − 1 ) ( s − 1 ) ( n − 1 ) J ( χ 1 , … , χ n ) s . □
