Tensor products of crossed-product algebras #
The pointwise product of two Galois 2-cocycles is again a 2-cocycle
(TauCeti.TwoCocycle.instCommGroup). This file proves that its crossed product represents the
product of the two original Brauer classes.
The algebra-level argument is the standard matrix stabilization. If c and d are cocycles of
G = Aut_K(L), the two crossed products act by commuting monomial matrices over the crossed
product for c * d. In row r, the first action is supported on the single column r * g;
in column s, the second is supported on the single row h * s. The cocycle identity says that
these are algebra maps and commute. They therefore induce
CrossedProduct c ⊗[K] CrossedProduct d ≃ₐ[K] Matrix G G (CrossedProduct (c * d)).
The equality of dimensions makes the induced injective map an equivalence. Reindexing by
G ≃ Fin #G exhibits the tensor product as a matrix algebra over CrossedProduct (c * d), so
the two sides have the same Brauer class.

The crossed product of the pointwise product of two Galois 2-cocycles is Brauer equivalent
to the tensor product of the two crossed products. This is the universe-polymorphic form of
crossedProductClass_mul, which can only be stated when L lives in the universe of K, the
universe in which BrauerGroup carries its multiplication.
