Local Tate duality for finite Galois modules #
Let K be a nonarchimedean local field, n a natural number invertible in K, and μₙ the
nth roots of unity of a separable closure Kˢ, the G_K-module TauCeti.KummerCoeff K n. For a
finite discrete G_K-module A killed by n, write A' = Hom(A, μₙ) for its dual (the internal
hom TauCeti.InternalHom) and
αᵢ : Hⁱ(G_K, A) → Hom(H²⁻ⁱ(G_K, A'), H²(G_K, μₙ)), i = 0, 1, 2,
for Tate's duality maps (TauCeti.ContCohomology.dualityMap0, dualityMap1, dualityMap2). This
file proves Tate's local duality theorem in this form: the three maps αᵢ are bijective for
every such A (TauCeti.ClassFieldTheory.dualityMap0_kummerCoeff_bijective and its companions in
degrees 1 and 2). No filtration of A by modules with trivial action is used, and none need
exist: over ℚ₂, the unramified action of order two on ℤ/3 has none.
The proof goes up from the trivial-action case in three steps.
- Open subgroups. An open subgroup
VofG_Kacting trivially onμₙis the absolute Galois group of its fixed fieldE, a finite extension ofKcontaining a primitiventh root of unityζ. Throughζ, theV-modulesμₙandℤ/nwith trivial action are isomorphic, and Tate's duality for finite modules with trivial action overE(TauCeti.ClassFieldTheory.dualityMap0_bijective_of_isPrimitiveRootand its companions) gives the bijectivity of the three duality maps ofVon every finiteV-module with trivial action killed byn(TauCeti.ClassFieldTheory.dualityMap_bijective_of_smul_kummerCoeff_eq_self). - Shapiro's lemma. Corestriction
H²(V, μₙ) → H²(G_K, μₙ)is bijective (TauCeti.ClassFieldTheory.explicitCor2_kummerCoeff_bijective), so Shapiro's lemma carries this duality to theG_K-moduleCoind_V^{G_K} A(TauCeti.ContCohomology.dualityMap0_bijective_discreteCoind_of_bijectiveand its companions), which isTauCeti.ClassFieldTheory.dualityMap_bijective_discreteCoind_kummerCoeff. - Dimension shifting. For a general finite
Akilled byn, choose an open normal subgroupVacting trivially onAand onμₙ. Along0 → A → Coind_V^{G_K} A → C → 0, the four lemma and a count of orders pass from the coinduced modules toA(TauCeti.ContCohomology.dualityMap0_bijective_of_bijective_discreteCoindand its companions), usingH²(G_K, μₙ) ≃ ℤ/n(TauCeti.ClassFieldTheory.h2MuEquivZMod) and the finiteness ofH¹(G_K, A'), which reduces in the same way to the finiteness ofH¹(V, ℤ/ℓ) = Eˣ/(Eˣ)ˡ.
The statements are made on the explicit low-degree cochain model with the single ambient
coefficient module μₙ = KummerCoeff K n, which is the model of the generic duality, Shapiro and
corestriction API they are assembled from.

Tate's duality on an open subgroup acting trivially on μₙ. Let V be an open subgroup of
G_K acting trivially on μₙ, for n invertible in the local field K. For every finite discrete
V-module A killed by n on which V acts trivially, the three duality maps
Hⁱ(V, A) → Hom(H²⁻ⁱ(V, Hom(A, μₙ)), H²(V, μₙ)) are bijective.
Tate's duality on a module coinduced from an open subgroup acting trivially on μₙ. Let
V be an open subgroup of G_K acting trivially on μₙ, for n invertible in the local field
K, and A a finite discrete V-module killed by n on which V acts trivially. Then the three
duality maps of G_K are bijective on Coind_V^{G_K} A: by Shapiro's lemma they are those of V
on A, followed by corestriction on H²(-, μₙ), which is bijective.
