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 .
