Cyclotomic Milnor square

ID: cyclotomic-milnor-square

Evaluation of the cyclic generator at and at a primitive th root gives the displayed pullback. The maps to the common field reduce integers modulo and set . If a representative polynomial for the second component has value at one, adding an integer multiple of adjusts that value by a multiple of without changing the second component. This proves surjectivity onto compatible pairs.
