Restriction and corestriction of mod-two Kummer classes #
Let L/K be a finite extension of fields in which 2 is invertible, and σ : L →ₐ[K] Kˢ a
K-embedding into a separable closure. Restriction TauCeti.galoisRes and corestriction
TauCeti.galoisCor along σ act on H¹(-, 𝔽₂), and the Kummer class (a) ∈ H¹(G_K, 𝔽₂) of a
unit is TauCeti.kummerClass. This file proves the two transfer laws of Kummer classes:
res (a) = (a) for a ∈ Kˣ, read in Lˣ,
cor (b) = (N b) for b ∈ Lˣ, with N = N_{L/K}.
Both are the Kummer squares at n = 2 of TauCeti.Kummer, read through the μ₂ coefficient
dictionary TauCeti.mu2EquivZMod2; the one input specific to μ₂ is that the dictionaries of K
and of L agree along the identification of separable closures
(TauCeti.mu2EquivZMod2_kummerCoeffMap), because that identification sends -1 to -1.
Restriction is the restriction square TauCeti.kummerRes_kummerCocycleClass of the explicit Kummer
cocycle classes, and corestriction is the norm square TauCeti.kummerCor_kummerMap of the Kummer
isomorphism. Both are carried to 𝔽₂ coefficients by commuting squares of compatible pairs,
TauCeti.ContCohomology.explicitMap1_explicitMap1_of_comp_eq, whose coefficient sides are the
agreement of the two dictionaries; corestriction also uses its naturality in the coefficients,
TauCeti.ContCohomology.explicitCor1_explicitMap1_id.
Finally, the map TauCeti.h2MuToUnits : H²(G_K, 𝔽₂) → H²(G_K, (Kˢ)ˣ) induced by μ₂ ⊆ (Kˢ)ˣ
commutes with restriction, TauCeti.galoisRes on the source and TauCeti.galoisResUnits on the
target. Both composites are compatible-pair maps along G_L → G_K
(TauCeti.ContinuousCohomology.map_comp_coeffMap), and their coefficient maps agree because both
send the nontrivial element of 𝔽₂ to -1.

The μ₂ dictionaries of K and L agree along the identification of separable
closures: TauCeti.kummerCoeffMap sends -1 to -1, so it does not change the value in
ZMod 2.
The inverse identification TauCeti.kummerCoeffMapSymm does not change the value in
ZMod 2 either.
Restriction of a Kummer class (NSW, the display after (6.2.1), at n = 2): for a
K-embedding σ : L →ₐ[K] Kˢ of a finite extension, restriction H¹(G_K, 𝔽₂) → H¹(G_L, 𝔽₂)
sends the Kummer class of a ∈ Kˣ to the Kummer class of its image in Lˣ.
Corestriction of a Kummer class is the Kummer class of the norm (NSW, the display after
(6.2.1), at n = 2): for a K-embedding σ : L →ₐ[K] Kˢ of a finite extension, corestriction
H¹(G_L, 𝔽₂) → H¹(G_K, 𝔽₂) sends the Kummer class of b ∈ Lˣ to the Kummer class of
N_{L/K} b.
Restriction and the map to the cohomological Brauer group #
Restriction commutes with H²(G, 𝔽₂) → H²(G, (Kˢ)ˣ), as morphisms: restricting a class
of H²(G_K, 𝔽₂) to G_L and then carrying it to H²(G_L, (Lˢ)ˣ) is carrying it to
H²(G_K, (Kˢ)ˣ) and then restricting with multiplicative coefficients.

Compatibility of TauCeti.h2MuToUnits with restriction: for x ∈ H²(G_K, 𝔽₂), the image
in H²(G_L, (Lˢ)ˣ) of the restriction of x is the restriction of the image of x in
H²(G_K, (Kˢ)ˣ).
