6. Chebotarev density theorem
The general Galois case is reduced to the abelian case via the cyclic subextension generated by a class representative. Source: Sharifi 7.2.2 Step 1 (p. 143).
Let L/K be a finite Galois extension with G = \Gal{L/K}, C \subseteq G a
conjugacy class, \sigma \in C, and \mathfrak{p} a nonzero prime of
\mathcal{O}_K unramified in L with \sigma_\mathfrak{p} = C. The number of
primes \mathfrak{P} of \mathcal{O}_L above \mathfrak{p} with
\Frob_\mathfrak{P} = \sigma is exactly |G|/(f \cdot |C|), where
f = \operatorname{ord}(\sigma).

Sharifi 7.2.2 Step 1, above-counting (p. 143). Verbatim source quote: "exactly `|G|/f|C|` of these have Frobenius σ". For a prime `𝔭` of `𝓞 K` with Frobenius class `C` and a representative `σ ∈ C`, the count of primes `𝔓` of `𝓞 L` above `𝔭` with `Frob_𝔓 = σ` is `|G|/(f·|C|)`. This is the substantive new sub-lemma for the conjugacy-class → cyclic reduction; the fixed-field cyclic-subextension setup (`E = L^⟨σ⟩`, `[L:E] = ord σ`) is mathlib's `IntermediateField.fixedField` and `IsGalois.card_aut_eq_finrank` applied at `⟨σ⟩`, and the density-lift formula `δ_K(S) = (f|C|/|G|) δ_E(T_σ)` follows from this counting together with `Σ N𝔭^{-s} ~ Σ NP^{-s}` (Sharifi 7.1.12 applied to both `K` and `E`).
The Galois group G acts transitively on primes above \mathfrak{p}, with
stabiliser D_\mathfrak{P}. Hence the orbit has size |G|/|D_\mathfrak{P}|. For
unramified \mathfrak{p}, D_\mathfrak{P} = \langle \Frob_\mathfrak{P} \rangle
has order f, so there are |G|/f primes above \mathfrak{p}. Their Frobenius
elements form a G-orbit in C (under conjugation), which is all of C by
transitivity; this orbit has size |C|, and within each orbit the count of
representatives \sigma is |G|/(f \cdot |C|) (Sharifi p. 143).
Let \sigma \in \Gal{L/K}, E = L^{\langle \sigma \rangle}, and
\sigma_E \in \Gal{L/E} the corresponding element. Given the abelian-case density
over E for the Frobenius-fibre of \sigma_E (value 1/|\Gal{L/E}|), the
K-density of the Frobenius class [\sigma] is |[\sigma]|/|G|.

**Density-lift through the fixed-field subextension** (Sharifi 7.2.2 Step 1, p. 143). Let `σ ∈ Gal(L/K)`, `E = L^⟨σ⟩` the fixed field of the cyclic subgroup `⟨σ⟩`, and `σ_E ∈ Gal(L/E)` the corresponding element. Given the abelian-case density over `E` for the Frobenius-fibre of `σ_E` (value `1/|Gal(L/E)|`), the density over `K` of the Frobenius **class** of `σ` is `|C|/|G|`. Source quote (verbatim, p. 143): "δ(S) = … = (f|C|/|G|) δ(T_σ), recalling once again that `Σ_𝔭 N𝔭^{-s} ~ Σ_P NP^{-s}`. Supposing the theorem for K/E, we have δ(T_σ) = 1/f, and we therefore obtain δ(S) = |C|/|G|." Here `f = ord σ = |Gal(L/E)|`, and the counting factor is `count_primes_above_with_frobenius_eq_sigma`. The hypothesis `hEfix` records that `E` is the fixed field of `⟨σ⟩`; the hypothesis `hσE` records that `σ_E` restricts to `σ` over `K` (so `σ_E` generates `Gal(L/E)` and a prime with `Frob^E_𝔓 = σ_E` has `Frob^K_𝔓 = σ`); the hypothesis `hab` is the abelian-case output for `L/E` from `chebotarev_abelian`.
For primes P of E above
\mathfrak{p} \in S = \{\mathfrak{p} : \sigma_\mathfrak{p} = [\sigma]\}, exactly
|G|/(f|C|) of the primes of L above have Frobenius \sigma
(Lemma 6.1); with
\sum_\mathfrak{p} \Norm\mathfrak{p}^{-s} \sim \sum_P \Norm{P}^{-s}
(Lemma 1.8 over both K and E),
\delta_K(S) = (f|C|/|G|)\,\delta_E(T_\sigma) = (f|C|/|G|)(1/f) = |C|/|G|.

**Chebotarev's density theorem** (Sharifi 7.2.2; SL Appendix). For a finite Galois extension `L/K` of number fields with Galois group `G` and a conjugacy class `C ⊆ G`, the Dirichlet density of the set of primes `𝔭` of `𝓞 K` (unramified in `L`) such that the Frobenius conjugacy class of `𝔭` is `C` equals `|C| / |G|`.
Pick a representative \sigma \in C (ConjClasses.mk_surjective) and let
E = L^{\langle \sigma \rangle} be the fixed field of \langle \sigma \rangle.
The isomorphism \langle \sigma \rangle \xrightarrow{\sim} \Gal{L/E}
(IntermediateField.subgroupEquivAlgEquiv) shows \Gal{L/E} is commutative (as
\langle \sigma \rangle is cyclic), so L/E is abelian and
Theorem 5.8 applies to its Frobenius \sigma_E, giving
\delta_E(T_\sigma) = 1/|\Gal{L/E}|. Feeding this into the density lift
Lemma 6.2 yields |C|/|G|.

Chebotarev.chebotarev_density_of_comm[complete]
Chebotarev, abelian case. When G = \Gal{L/K} is abelian, the Chebotarev
density theorem holds: for every conjugacy class C,
\delta(\{\mathfrak{p} : \sigma_\mathfrak{p} = C\}) = |C|/|G|.

**Chebotarev's density theorem, abelian case.** For an abelian Galois extension `L/K`, the Dirichlet density of primes `𝔭` of `𝓞 K` unramified in `L` whose Frobenius conjugacy class is `C` is `|C| / |Gal(L/K)|`.
In an abelian group each class C = [\sigma] is a singleton
(Lemma 6.1.2), so |C| = 1 and the target
density is 1/|G|; this is exactly Theorem 5.8 for the
representative \sigma.
