I am having trouble to understand the proof of the following identity for Jacobi Sums: $$J(\chi,\chi^{-1}) = -\chi(-1)$$ , where $\chi$ is a non-trivial character over $\mathbb{F}_p$ (where $p$ is a prime). The proof in Ireland-Rosen's book goes as follows: $$J(\chi,\chi^{-1}) = \sum_{a+b =1 } ...
In mathematics, a Jacobi sum is a type of character sum formed with Dirichlet characters. Simple examples would be Jacobi sums J(χ, ψ) for Dirichlet characters χ, ψ modulo a prime number p, defined by

{\displaystyle J(\chi ,\psi )=\sum \chi (a)\psi (1-a)\,,}
where the summation runs over all residues a = 2, 3, ..., p − 1 mod p (for which neither a nor 1 − a is 0). Jacobi...
In algebraic geometry, the Néron model (or Néron minimal model, or minimal model)
for an abelian variety AK defined over the field of fractions K of a Dedekind domain R is the "push-forward" of AK from Spec(K) to Spec(R), in other words the "best possible" group scheme AR defined over R corresponding to AK.
They were introduced by André Néron (1961, 1964) for abelian varieties over the quotient field of a Dedekind domain R with perfect residue fields, and Raynaud (1966) extended this construction to semiabelian varieties over all Dedekind domains.

Suppose that R is a Dedekind...

I have a question about proof that Tamagawa number, $[E (K): E_0 (K)]$ is finite. Could you please tell (correct) me any strange parts about my understanding of the outline of the proof ? My understanding (outline) "It is difficult to prove elementaryly that $E (K) / E_0 (K)$ is finite. Therefore...

In mathematics, the Weil conjecture on Tamagawa numbers is the statement that the Tamagawa number
τ
(
G
)
{\displaystyle \tau (G)}
of a simply connected simple algebraic group defined over a number field is 1. In this case, simply connected means "not having a proper algebraic covering" in the algebraic group theory sense, which is not always the topologists' meaning.

Weil (1959) calculated the Tamagawa number in many cases of classical groups and observed that it is an integer in all considered cases and that it was...
