Conjugation and the Tate isomorphism of a class formation #

An element g of the ambient group carries a finite normal layer V ◁ U to its conjugate gVg⁻¹ ◁ gUg⁻¹ (NormalLayer.conjugate), with an isomorphism of Galois groups (NormalLayer.conjugateGalEquiv) and the action of g on the coefficient modules. Conjugation of Tate cohomology with formation coefficients is NormalLayer.conjugateTateIso. This file adds the same conjugation on Tate cohomology with trivial integral coefficients (NormalLayer.conjugateTrivialTateIso), which in degree -2 is the induced isomorphism of abelianized Galois groups, and proves that cup product with a degree-two class is equivariant: conjugating x ∪ u gives the cup product of the conjugates (cupClass_conj).

Since conjugation carries the fundamental class of a layer of a class formation to the fundamental class of the conjugate layer (ClassFormation.fundamentalClass_conj), Tate's isomorphism H^r(U/V, ℤ) ≃ H^{r+2}(U/V, A^V) commutes with conjugation in every degree (ClassFormation.tateIso_conj). In degree -2 this is the conjugation compatibility of the Artin map.

Conjugation on Tate cohomology with trivial integral coefficients: the isomorphism H^r(U/V, ℤ) ≅ H^r(gUg⁻¹/gVg⁻¹, ℤ) induced by the isomorphism of Galois groups.

Instances For

    Conjugation with trivial integral coefficients is the Tate map of the compatible pair formed by the isomorphism of Galois groups and the identity of ℤ.

    Conjugation by 1 is the identity on Tate cohomology with trivial integral coefficients, up to transport along conjugate_one.

    Conjugation by h and then by g on Tate cohomology with trivial integral coefficients is conjugation by g * h, up to transport along conjugate_conjugate.

    In degree -2, conjugation is conjugation of abelianized Galois groups: under the identifications H^{-2}(U/V, ℤ) ≃ (U/V)^ab, it is the isomorphism induced by conjugateGalEquiv.

    Cup product with a degree-two class commutes with conjugation: conjugating x ∪ u by g gives the cup product of the conjugate of x with the conjugate of u, in every degree.

    Tate's isomorphism of a class formation commutes with conjugation: conjugating x ∪ u_{U/V} by g gives the cup product of the conjugate of x with the fundamental class of the conjugate layer.
