The first cohomology of a finite Galois layer through equivariant Kummer theory #
Let L/K be a finite Galois extension of nonarchimedean local fields, embedded in Kˢ by σ,
let G = Gal(L/K), and let ℓ be a prime invertible in K such that σ(L) contains the ℓth
roots of unity μ_ℓ. Equivariant Kummer theory identifies the conjugation representation of G
on H¹(Gal(Kˢ/σ(L)), 𝔽_ℓ) with μ_ℓ^∨ ⊗ Lˣ ⧸ (Lˣ)^ℓ. This file computes, for every
finite-dimensional representation A of G over 𝔽_ℓ with ℓ ∤ #G,
dim (H¹ ⊗ A)ᴳ = dim (μ_ℓ^∨ ⊗ A)ᴳ + dim Aᴳ + [ℓ = p] [K : ℚ_p] dim A.

This is the arithmetic heart of the cyclic prime-to-ℓ case of Tate's local Euler characteristic

dim H⁰(K, A) = dim Aᴳ.

The first cohomology of a finite Galois layer, away from the residue characteristic. If ℓ
is a unit of 𝒪[L] and σ(L) contains the ℓth roots of unity, then for every
finite-dimensional representation A of G = Gal(L/K) over 𝔽_ℓ with ℓ ∤ #G,
dim (H¹(Gal(Kˢ/σ(L)), 𝔽_ℓ) ⊗ A)ᴳ = dim (μ_ℓ^∨ ⊗ A)ᴳ + dim Aᴳ.
The first cohomology of a finite Galois layer, at the residue characteristic. If K and L
are finite extensions of ℚ_p and σ(L) contains the pth roots of unity, then for every
finite-dimensional representation A of G = Gal(L/K) over 𝔽_p with p ∤ #G,
dim (H¹(Gal(Kˢ/σ(L)), 𝔽_p) ⊗ A)ᴳ = dim (μ_p^∨ ⊗ A)ᴳ + dim Aᴳ + [K : ℚ_p] dim A.
