The local invariant on roots-of-unity cohomology #
For a nonarchimedean local field F and an exponent n invertible in F, the Kummer
coefficient map identifies H²(F, μₙ) with the n-torsion of the Brauer group. The local
invariant invMap F, normalized by arithmetic Frobenius, therefore identifies it with the
n-torsion of ℚ/ℤ. The class of invariant 1/n determines the normalized equivalence
h2MuEquivZMod F hn : H²(F, μₙ) ≃+ ZMod n.
The normalization is characterized by toRatAddCircle_h2MuEquivZMod: a class whose image in the
Brauer group has invariant k/n maps to k. In particular, the inverse image of 1 has
Brauer invariant 1/n. This is the degree-two identification used after taking the cup product
of two Kummer classes in the cohomological local symbol.
Only invertibility in the field is required, not in its valuation ring. Thus in characteristic
zero the construction works for every nonzero n, including exponents divisible by the residue
characteristic (h2MuEquivZMod_mixed).
An isomorphism of coefficient objects e : μₙ ≅ T transports the invariant to
h2EquivZModOfMuNRepIso F hn e : H²(F, T) ≃+ ZMod n. When F contains a primitive nth root of
unity ζ, the root identifies the trivial coefficients ℤ/n with μₙ, and
h2FpEquivZMod hζ : H²(F, ℤ/n) ≃+ ZMod n is the transported invariant. In particular
H²(F, ℤ/n) then has exactly n elements.

The local invariants of roots-of-unity cohomology are exactly the n-torsion of ℚ/ℤ,
when n is invertible in the field.
The normalized local invariant H²(F, μₙ) ≃+ ℤ/n, for n invertible in the field.
It sends a class of Brauer invariant k/n to k.
Instances For
The degree-two invariant followed by k ↦ k/n is the Brauer invariant of the Kummer
coefficient image. This characterizes its arithmetic normalization.
The inverse degree-two identification has the prescribed Brauer invariant. For an integer
residue k, the right side is the class of k/n in ℚ/ℤ.
A roots-of-unity cohomology class maps to a residue exactly when its Brauer invariant is that residue's rational-circle image.
Roots-of-unity cohomology in degree two is ℤ/n in characteristic zero, for every nonzero
exponent. In particular this applies to finite extensions of ℚ_p, including n divisible
by p. The witness is the normalized equivalence h2MuEquivZMod.
Coefficients identified with roots of unity #
The local invariant on H² with coefficients identified with μₙ: an isomorphism of
coefficient objects e : μₙ ≅ T transports h2MuEquivZMod to H²(F, T). The identification of
coefficients is essential: an arbitrary coefficient object, such as the zero module, need not have
H² isomorphic to ℤ/n.
Instances For
The transported invariant of the image of a roots-of-unity class under the coefficient isomorphism is its roots-of-unity invariant.
The inverse transported invariant is the image under the coefficient isomorphism of the inverse roots-of-unity invariant.
Trivial coefficients #
The local invariant on H²(F, ℤ/n) with trivial coefficients, for F containing a
primitive nth root of unity ζ. The root identifies the trivial coefficients ℤ/n with μₙ
(muNRepIsoTrivialFp), and h2FpEquivZMod is the specialization of h2EquivZModOfMuNRepIso
to that identification.
Instances For
The trivial-coefficient invariant of the transport of a roots-of-unity class is its roots-of-unity invariant.
The inverse trivial-coefficient invariant is the transport of the inverse roots-of-unity invariant.
The arithmetic normalization with trivial coefficients: a class of H²(F, ℤ/n) maps to
k exactly when the corresponding class of H²(F, μₙ) has Brauer invariant k/n.
A class of H²(F, ℤ/n) maps to a residue exactly when the Brauer invariant of the
corresponding class of H²(F, μₙ) is that residue's rational-circle image.
If F contains a primitive nth root of unity, then H²(F, ℤ/n) with trivial coefficients
has exactly n elements.
If F contains a primitive nth root of unity with 1 < n, then H²(F, ℤ/n) with trivial
coefficients is free of rank one over ℤ/n.
