\(\widehat{\mathbb{Q}}\) and tensor products.

The definition of \(\widehat{\mathbb{Q}}\) is easy if you know about tensor products of additive abelian groups.

DefinitionQHat#

The profinite completion \(\widehat{\mathbb{Q}}\) of \(\mathbb{Q}\) is the tensor product \(\mathbb{Q}\otimes_{\mathbb{Z}}\widehat{\mathbb{Z}}\), or \(\widehat{\mathbb{Q}}=\mathbb{Q}\otimes\widehat{\mathbb{Z}}\) for short.
