Formations and their finite normal layers #
Artin and Tate describe a formation by a group G, a distinguished family of finite-index
subgroups, and a G-module A each of whose elements is fixed by a sufficiently small member of
the family. In the arithmetic applications the family is the family of open subgroups of a
compact, totally disconnected Galois group and A is a discrete continuous module, so this file
uses the topological formulation: a Formation is a smooth discrete topological representation
of G over ℤ, and its U-level A^U is the submodule fixed by an open subgroup U.
A finite normal layer is a pair of open subgroups V ≤ U with V normal in U. In field
notation it is the layer K/F with U = G_F and V = G_K. Its Galois group Γ = U ⧸ V is
finite because V is open in the compact group U, its coefficient module is the level A^V,
and its ground level is A^U. The three constructions below are what the cohomology of the layer
is taken of and compared with:
rep, the coefficient moduleA^Vcarrying the action ofΓ. TheU-action onA^Vis well defined becauseVis normal inU, andVacts onA^Vtrivially, so the action descends toΓ.groundLevelEquiv, the identification(A^V)^Γ = A^Uof the invariants of the coefficient module with the ground level. Both sides are read insideA^V— the invariants ofΓand the ground level comapped alongA^V ⊆ Aare the same submodule ofA^V— so the identification does not move an element of the ambient module.norm,normSubgroupandNormQuotient: the normN_{U/V} : A^V → A^U, its image, and the quotientA^U / N_{U/V}(A^V).
The additive convention is used throughout, as in the abstract theory; a multiplicative group such
as Kˣ enters through an Additive adapter.

Implementation notes #
The coefficient module is built as Representation.ofQuotient of a
Representation.subrepresentation, so that its underlying module is definitionally the level
A^V. Mathlib's packaged Rep.quotientToInvariants would instead produce the invariants of the
restriction of A along V ∩ U → U → G, which is the same submodule of the ambient module but
not the same term as A^V, and every later comparison would have to transport along that equality.
Both Formation and NormalLayer assume that G is compact and totally disconnected.
Compactness makes the Galois group of every layer finite, so that the degree of a layer is its
genuine index and not the junk value 0 of an infinite quotient.
Both the group and the coefficient module live in Type. Mathlib's tateCohomology asks for the
finite group and the coefficient ring ℤ in one universe and for the coefficient module in that
same universe, and every carrier of the arithmetic instances is a Type, so nothing is lost.
The coefficient module is read as a plain Rep ℤ G through Representation.ofDistribMulAction at
the action TopRep.distribMulAction derives from the operators of the topological
representation. Passing instead through ContRepresentation.toRepresentation would carry the
Module ℤ instance packaged inside TopRep, which is not the instance AddCommGroup.toIntModule
that typeclass synthesis produces for an integral module, and the two are not definitionally
equal.
Because toRep and rep are abbrevs for Rep.of, simp reduces the carriers F.toRep.V and
(L.rep F).V to F.module.V and F.level L.top wherever they occur as implicit type arguments
(the type of a coercion, of a bundled map, of a membership) before it looks a term up among its
lemmas. A simp lemma is indexed by its left-hand side as elaborated, where these carriers are
still unreduced, so a lemma stated plainly over F.toRep.V is never found. The simp lemmas
about levels, layer coefficients and the norm below therefore state their left-hand sides through
dsimp% only, which puts those implicit arguments in the form simp produces. Only the left-hand
side is wrapped, and with only, so that the right-hand side keeps the form it is written in:
rw with these lemmas then leaves terms over F.toRep, as the rest of this file states them.

Formations and their levels #
A formation: a smooth discrete continuous integral representation of a compact, totally
disconnected topological group. In the arithmetic applications G is the Galois group of a
Galois extension and the module is the multiplicative group of the top field, read additively. The
distinguished family of subgroups of the Artin–Tate definition is the family of open subgroups of
G, which is why the levels below are indexed by OpenSubgroup G. A formation is definitionally
the same type as SmoothDiscreteTopRep ℤ G, specialized to integral coefficients and to a
profinite group; it introduces no second representation bundle.
Instances For
The coefficient module of a formation, as a topological representation of G over ℤ.
Instances For
The coefficient module is discrete with open point stabilizers.
Instances For
Two formations on G with the same coefficient module are equal.
The coefficient module of a formation as a plain integral representation of G, forgetting
its topology. The levels, the layer representations and all of their cohomology are taken of this
underlying representation. Being an abbrev, its carrier is reduced by simp; see the
implementation notes for how simp lemmas over it are stated.
Instances For
An element g acts on the underlying representation F.toRep as it acts on the coefficient
module.
The level A^U of an open subgroup U, as a submodule of the ambient module of the
formation. Keeping every level inside one ambient module is what makes the inclusion of a level in
a smaller subgroup's level, and the norm between two levels, maps of submodules of a fixed
module.
Instances For
An element lies in the level A^U exactly when every element of U fixes it.
Every element of the coefficient module lies in a level. This is the Artin–Tate condition
that each element of A is fixed by a sufficiently small member of the distinguished family of
subgroups, and it is exactly what smoothness of the module supplies: the stabilizer of an element
is open.
Levels decrease as the subgroup grows: a larger subgroup fixes fewer elements.
The level A^U of an open subgroup is the degree-zero cohomology H⁰(U, A) of U
acting on the coefficient module: both are the elements of the ambient module fixed by U, and
the equivalence moves none of them.
Instances For
levelEquivH0 moves no element of the ambient module.
The inverse of levelEquivH0 moves no element of the ambient module either.
Finite normal layers #
A finite normal layer V ◁ U of open subgroups of G. In field notation this is the
finite Galois layer K/F inside the extension G cuts out, with U = G_F the ground subgroup and
V = G_K the top subgroup.
- ground : OpenSubgroup G
the ground subgroup
U, cutting out the base field of the layer - top : OpenSubgroup G
the top subgroup
V, cutting out the top field of the layer the layer runs upwards:
V ≤ U- normal : ((↑self.top).subgroupOf ↑self.ground).Normal
Vis normal inU, so that the layer is Galois
Instances For
The top subgroup V of a layer, viewed as a subgroup of the ground subgroup U.
Instances For
The top subgroup of a layer is normal in the ground subgroup.
The Galois group Γ = U ⧸ V of a finite normal layer.
Instances For
The top subgroup of a layer is normal in the ground subgroup, read on elements of G.
The degree [U : V] of a normal layer, the index of the top subgroup in the ground
subgroup.
Instances For
The degree of a layer is the order of its Galois group U ⧸ V.
The degree of a layer is the relative index of its top subgroup in its ground subgroup.
The layer V ◁ ⊤ cut out by an open normal subgroup of G. These layers are the finite
Galois extensions of the ground field of a formation on G.
Instances For
The ground subgroup of the layer V ◁ ⊤ is all of G.
The top subgroup of the layer V ◁ ⊤ is V.
The Galois group of the layer V ◁ ⊤ is the finite quotient G ⧸ V.
Instances For
The identification of the Galois group of V ◁ ⊤ with G ⧸ V sends the class of u to the
class of u.
The inverse identification of G ⧸ V with the Galois group of V ◁ ⊤ sends the class of u
to the class of u.
The ground level of the layer V ◁ G of an open normal subgroup V is the level A^G of the
whole group.
Instances For
The identification of A^G with the ground level of V ◁ G moves no element of the ambient
module.
The top subgroup is open in the compact ground subgroup, so the Galois group is finite.
The Galois group of a layer is finite, so it carries a Fintype structure.
The top subgroup of a layer is normal in the ground subgroup, stated for the underlying
subgroups of G: this is the form in which the continuous cohomology of the ground subgroup
L.ground.toSubgroup takes it.
The top subgroup is open in the ground subgroup, so the Galois group, presented as the
quotient of the underlying subgroup L.ground.toSubgroup of G, is discrete.
The degree of a layer is positive.
The coefficient module of a layer #
The ground subgroup carries the top level into itself: this is exactly normality of V in
U.
The action of the ground subgroup U on the top level A^V.
Instances For
The ground subgroup acts on the top level by the restriction of the action on the ambient module.
The top subgroup acts trivially on the top level, so the U-action descends to U ⧸ V.
The coefficient module of a layer: the top level A^V with the induced action of the
Galois group U ⧸ V. Its underlying module is the level itself, not an isomorphic copy.
Instances For
The class of u ∈ U in the Galois group acts on the coefficient module of the layer as u acts
on the ambient module.
The ground level sits inside the top level.
The invariants of the coefficient module are the ground level: (A^V)^{U/V} = A^U. Both
sides are read inside the top level A^V.
The identification (A^V)^{U/V} ≃ A^U of the invariants of the coefficient module with the
ground level. It moves no element of the ambient module.
Instances For
groundLevelEquiv moves no element of the ambient module.
The inverse of groundLevelEquiv moves no element of the ambient module either.
The coefficient module of a layer read in a G-module: when the coefficient module of the
formation is read, through an equivariant additive equivalence e : M ≃+ A, on a G-module M,
the coefficient module A^V of a layer V ◁ U is the subgroup M^V of fixed points of its top
subgroup, viewed as a subgroup of the ground subgroup U. It only changes the coefficient
dictionary (coeffFixedPointsEquiv_apply_coe) and is equivariant for the Galois group of the layer
(coeffFixedPointsEquiv_ρ).
Instances For
coeffFixedPointsEquiv reads an element of the coefficient module in M through e.
The inverse of coeffFixedPointsEquiv reads a fixed point of M in the coefficient module
through e.
coeffFixedPointsEquiv is equivariant for the Galois group of the layer.
The cohomology of a layer #
Ordinary group cohomology of a finite normal layer, H^n(U/V, A^V), on Mathlib's carrier.
The axioms satisfied by a class formation and the fundamental class of a layer are read here.
Instances For
Tate cohomology of a finite normal layer in its coefficient module, the Tate group
H^r(U/V, A^V) in every integer degree r.
Instances For
Tate cohomology of a finite normal layer with trivial integral coefficients, the Tate
group H^r(U/V, ℤ). Its degree -2 is the abelianization of the Galois group of the layer. In a
class formation, cup product with the fundamental class of the layer carries that degree
isomorphically onto TateH in degree 0, and the Artin map is the inverse of this isomorphism.
Instances For
Ordinary cohomology of a finite normal layer with trivial integral coefficients,
H^n(U/V, ℤ). This is the positive-degree comparison target for TrivialTateH.
Instances For
The two low Tate degrees #
Degree -2 Tate cohomology with trivial integral coefficients is the additive
abelianization of the Galois group. This is the source of the Galois side of the Nakayama map.
It is the negative of the generic identification
TauCeti.TateCohomology.HNegTwoAddEquivAbelianization, so the first-homology class of (g, 1)
goes to g⁻¹ (tateHMinusTwoEquivAbelianization_single_one). With the generic identification the
Tate pairing of σ ∈ Γ^ab with the connecting class δχ of a character is -χ(σ)
(TauCeti.TateCohomology.toRatAddCircle_map_leftUnitor_cup_characterConnectingClass). With this
sign it is χ(σ), and the Artin map satisfies the classical character formula
χ(artinMap a) = inv(a₀ ∪ δχ) instead of being the inverse of the classical reciprocity map.
Instances For
The layer's degree--2 identification is the negative of the generic identification for its
Galois group.
The degree -2 identification sends the standard first-homology class represented by
(g, 1) to the class of g⁻¹ in the additive abelianization.
The inverse degree -2 identification sends the abelianization class of g to the standard
first-homology class represented by (g⁻¹, 1).
In positive degrees the Tate cohomology of a finite normal layer is its ordinary
cohomology. This is Mathlib's comparison TateCohomology.isoGroupCohomology, stated between the
carriers TateH and H of the layer, so that it composes with maps between those carriers.
Instances For
In positive degrees Tate cohomology with trivial integral coefficients is ordinary cohomology.
Instances For
The positive-degree comparison for trivial coefficients is Mathlib's canonical comparison isomorphism.
The identification of positive-degree Tate cohomology of a layer with its ordinary cohomology is Mathlib's comparison isomorphism at the coefficient module of the layer.
The norm of a layer #
The norm N_{U/V} : A^V → A^U of a finite normal layer: the sum of the Galois conjugates,
landing in the ground level through groundLevelEquiv.
Instances For
The norm of a layer is the sum of the Galois conjugates: N_{U/V}(x) = ∑_{γ ∈ U ⧸ V} γ x.
The norm of a layer is the trace of the Galois action on the top level, so on an element of the ground level it is multiplication by the degree.
The norm subgroup N_{U/V}(A^V) of the ground level.
Instances For
An element of the ground level lies in the norm subgroup exactly when it is a norm.
The norm quotient A^U / N_{U/V}(A^V) of a finite normal layer. It is the group that the
Artin map of a class formation — a formation whose layers satisfy the axioms on H¹ and H²,
which a bare Formation does not assume — identifies with the abelianization of the Galois group
of the layer.
Instances For
The canonical map from the ground level onto the norm quotient. The Artin map of a class formation is defined on the ground level by composing with this map.
Instances For
normQuotientMk sends an element of the ground level to its class in the norm quotient.
The image under groundLevelEquiv of the norm image inside the invariants is the norm
subgroup.
Degree-zero Tate cohomology of a finite normal layer is its norm quotient. This is the low-degree identification that the Artin map of a class formation is read through.
Instances For
The identification of degree-zero Tate cohomology with the norm quotient sends the class of an invariant to the class of the corresponding element of the ground level.
The zero-dimensional Tate class a₀ of an element a of the ground level A^U: the class
of a in the degree-zero Tate group H^0(U/V, A^V), reading a as an invariant of the
coefficient module A^V.
Instances For
The zero-dimensional Tate class of the ground-level element corresponding to an invariant is the class of that invariant.
Under the identification of degree-zero Tate cohomology with the norm quotient, the
zero-dimensional Tate class of a is the class of a modulo norms.
The zero-dimensional Tate class of a vanishes exactly when a is a norm.
The norm quotient read through an identification of the ground level: if e identifies a
group A with the ground level A^U of the layer and carries the normal subgroup N onto the
norm subgroup N_{U/V}(A^V), then e descends to an identification of A / N with the norm
quotient.
Instances For
normQuotientEquivOfGroundEquiv sends the class of a ∈ A to the class of e a in the norm
quotient.
