A field k is called quasi-finite if it is perfect and if Gk≈Ż where Gk is the Galois group of the algebraic closure kc over k and Ż is the completion of the additive group of the rational integers. The classical reciprocity law on the local field with finite residue field is well-known to hold on local fields with quasi-finite residue field ([4] [5]). Thus it is natural to ask if the global reciprocity law should hold in the ordinary sense (see § 1 below) on the function-fields of one variable over quasi-finite field. We consider here two basic prototypes of non-finite quasi-finite fields:
