Choosing Embeddings $\\overline{\\mathbb{Q}}\\hookrightarrow \\overline{\\mathbb{Q}}_p$

Choosing an embedding $\iota_p:\overline{\mathbb{Q}}\hookrightarrow \overline{\mathbb{Q}}_p$ is equivalent to choosing a prime of $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$ above $p$.

This identifies a decomposition group in $\mathrm{Gal}(\overline{\mathbb{Q}}/\mathbb{Q})$ with the local Galois group $\mathrm{Gal}(\overline{\mathbb{Q}}_p/\mathbb{Q}_p)$, and hence fixes a notion of Frobenius at $p$.

Changing $\iota_p$ conjugates the resulting Frobenius and therefore conjugates the Satake parameter $\alpha_p$ in the $L$-group.
