Inflation of crossed-product cocycles #
A TwoCocycle K L for a finite Galois subextension L of the separable closure of K inflates
along restriction G_K → Gal(L/K) to a continuous cocycle of the absolute Galois group with
values in Additive (Kˢ)ˣ. This file constructs its class in continuous H² and identifies it
with the corresponding leg of the finite-quotient description of continuous cohomology.
The multiplicative-to-additive conversion is TwoCocycle.toCocycles₂. Continuity follows because
restriction has finite discrete target. Inflation turns products of cocycles into sums of
classes, cohomologous finite cocycles determine the same continuous class, and passing to a larger
finite Galois subextension, along any compatible pair agreeing with the inclusions into Kˢ, does
not change the class.
Conversely, strict finite-quotient descent of continuous 2-cocycles, followed by the infinite
Galois correspondence, realizes every continuous cocycle as the inflation of a cocycle on a finite
Galois subextension. Consequently every continuous cohomology class is the inflated class of a
bundled GaloisCocycle.
The conventions follow Gille--Szamuely, Central Simple Algebras and Galois Cohomology, §4.4, and Serre, Local Fields, Chapter X.
