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.

    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.

    theorem TauCeti.kummerCup_comm (K : Type u) [Field K] [Invertible 2] (x y : SquareClassGroup K) :
    ((kummerCup K) x) y = ((kummerCup K) y) x

    The Kummer cup pairing is symmetric: [a] ⌣ [b] = [b] ⌣ [a].
