Since the values of are the ones given, the surjectivity of the map is evident. It thus remains to establish exactness at the middle of the sequence; that is, we must check that a class in maps to zero in if and only if it arises from some element of
Fix such a class
and let
be the finite set of places
at which
Let
be the least common multiple of the orders of the
Using
Exercise 1, we can find a cyclic cyclotomic extension
such that for each
for some (hence any) place

By
Lemma 4.2.20, this means that
for all
We can now use
Lemma 7.6.10 to argue in one direction: if
maps to zero in
then it lifts to
To argue in the opposite direction, we need a bit more: we need to know that every class of
belongs to
for some cyclic cyclotomic extension
of
For this, see
Proposition 7.6.14.
