Cup products of mod-two Kummer classes #
For a field K in which 2 is invertible, multiplication in 𝔽₂ gives a pairing on the
trivial coefficient object (TauCeti.trivialF2TopPairing). Composing its degree-(1,1) cup
product with the Kummer isomorphism gives the bilinear pairing
Kˣ/(Kˣ)² × Kˣ/(Kˣ)² → H²(G_K, 𝔽₂), ([a], [b]) ↦ [a] ⌣ [b].
The source is the additive square-class group TauCeti.SquareClassGroup K; consequently
biadditivity and invariance under changing representatives are carried by the type. The
representative formula TauCeti.kummerCup_squareClass_squareClass identifies this pairing with
the cup of the classes constructed in TauCeti.FieldTheory.GaloisCohomology.MuTwo.Basic, and
TauCeti.kummerCup_comm records that the pairing is symmetric.

product of their Kummer classes in H²(G_K, 𝔽₂).

Instances For
The Kummer cup pairing is the cup product after applying the square-class Kummer isomorphism in both variables.
The Kummer cup on representatives is the cup product of their Kummer classes.
The Kummer cup pairing is symmetric: [a] ⌣ [b] = [b] ⌣ [a].
