The units along a tower of Galois extensions #

Let K ⊆ L ⊆ M be a tower of fields with L/K normal. Restriction Gal(M/K) → Gal(L/K) and the inclusion Lˣ → Mˣ are compatible: σ(ι(a)) = ι(σ|_L(a)) for σ ∈ Gal(M/K) and a ∈ Lˣ. This file records the inclusion as a morphism unitsInflationHom K L M from the restriction of the Gal(L/K)-representation Lˣ to the Gal(M/K)-representation Mˣ. Through groupCohomology.map (AlgEquiv.restrictNormalHom L) it induces the inflation maps

Hⁿ(Gal(L/K), Lˣ) → Hⁿ(Gal(M/K), Mˣ),

in particular the inflation of relative Brauer groups H²(Gal(L/K), Lˣ) → H²(Gal(M/K), Mˣ) along which local invariants are compared.

More generally, for K ⊆ K' and L ⊆ M' with M' a K'-algebra, every σ ∈ Gal(M'/K') is K-linear and restricts to L. The inclusion Lˣ → M'ˣ is then a morphism unitsBaseChangeHom K L K' M' from the restriction of Lˣ along Gal(M'/K') → Gal(L/K) to M'ˣ. Together with that homomorphism it induces the base change map Hⁿ(Gal(L/K), Lˣ) → Hⁿ(Gal(M'/K'), M'ˣ).

For K' = L and M' = M the base change map is restriction Hⁿ(Gal(M/K), Mˣ) → Hⁿ(Gal(M/L), Mˣ), and inflation from Gal(E/K) followed by restriction to Gal(M/L) is base change from E/K to M/L (map_unitsInflationHom_comp_map_unitsBaseChangeHom). In degree two, for M/K finite Galois, inflation and restriction form the exact sequence

0 → H²(Gal(L/K), Lˣ) → H²(Gal(M/K), Mˣ) → H²(Gal(M/L), Mˣ)

(map_unitsInflationHom_two_injective, mem_range_map_unitsInflationHom_two_iff): this is the inflation-restriction sequence of Gal(M/L) → Gal(M/K) → Gal(L/K), whose hypothesis H¹(Gal(M/L), Mˣ) = 0 is Hilbert's Theorem 90, and whose quotient term is identified with H²(Gal(L/K), Lˣ) because the units of M fixed by Gal(M/L) are the units of L. In the language of relative Brauer groups, Br(M/K) ∩ ker(res_{M/L}) = Br(L/K).

A Galois-fixed unit comes from the base field: a unit of a Galois extension E/F, not necessarily finite, that is fixed by Gal(E/F) is the image of a unit of F.

The units along a tower of Galois extensions: for K ⊆ L ⊆ M with L/K normal, the inclusion Lˣ → Mˣ is a morphism of Gal(M/K)-representations from Lˣ, on which Gal(M/K) acts through restriction to L, to Mˣ. It is the coefficient map of inflation Hⁿ(Gal(L/K), Lˣ) → Hⁿ(Gal(M/K), Mˣ).

      Inflation followed by restriction is base change. For K ⊆ E ⊆ M and K ⊆ L ⊆ M, inflating a class of Hⁿ(Gal(E/K), Eˣ) to Hⁿ(Gal(M/K), Mˣ) and restricting it to Hⁿ(Gal(M/L), Mˣ) is the base change map from E/K to M/L.

      Inflation into H²(Gal(M/K), Mˣ) is injective. For a tower K ⊆ L ⊆ M with M/K finite Galois and L/K normal, inflation H²(Gal(L/K), Lˣ) → H²(Gal(M/K), Mˣ) is injective: by Hilbert 90, H¹(Gal(M/L), Mˣ) = 0.

      The inflation-restriction sequence of relative Brauer groups. For a tower K ⊆ L ⊆ M with M/K finite Galois and L/K normal, a class of H²(Gal(M/K), Mˣ) is inflated from H²(Gal(L/K), Lˣ) exactly when its restriction to H²(Gal(M/L), Mˣ) vanishes. Restriction is the base change map unitsBaseChangeHom K M L M along Gal(M/L) → Gal(M/K).
