 Hilbert norm residue symbol

For a local field $F$ containing ${\mu }_m$, the symbol is ${\mathrm{rec}}_F(b)(a^{1/m})/a^{1/m}\in {\mu }_m$, after fixing a convention for Local Artin reciprocity. It is independent of the chosen root and bilinear. Its kernel in the second variable is the norm subgroup of $F(a^{1/m})/F$. The quadratic Hilbert symbol is the sign-valued case relevant to quadratic forms.
