Let be a finite Galois extension, choose a prime ideal above , and write and for the residue fields. The decomposition group and inertia group areThe Frobenius automorphism on the finite field is . Its inverse image defines a distinguished coset in ; a Frobenius element is a lift of that coset. At an unramified prime, and the lift is unique. Changing the prime above conjugates it, so a Frobenius conjugacy class is intrinsically attached to . These are arithmetic Frobenius conventions.
