The low-degree cohomology of A(L) #

Let L/K be a finite Galois extension of p-adic fields with group G = Gal(L/K), and let A(L) = lim_m Lˣ/(Lˣ)^(p^m) be the p-adic completion of Lˣ, a ℤ_p-representation of G. Through local reciprocity (TauCeti.padicCompletionUnitsEquivAbelianizationProP), A(L) is the class module V^ab(p) of G_K ⧸ V ≃ G, where V = G_L, equivariantly (TauCeti.padicCompletionUnitsEquivAbelianizationProP_smul). As scd_p G_K = 2 (NSW (7.2.5)), NSW (3.6.4) computes the low-degree cohomology of the class module, and this file reads it on A(L):

These are the inputs of Tate's theorem for A(L) on the p-subgroups of G.

Main statements #

References #

H¹ of A(L) vanishes on every subgroup (NSW (3.6.4), read through local reciprocity): H¹(S, A(L)) = 0 for every subgroup S of Gal(L/K).

H² of A(L) on a subgroup is cyclic of order the p-part of the subgroup (NSW (3.6.4), read through local reciprocity): for every subgroup S of Gal(L/K), some class u generates H²(S, A(L)), and this group has order p ^ v_p(#S).

One class of A(L) generates after every restriction (NSW (3.6.4)). Unlike choosing separate generators for the subgroups, this supplies the compatible class required by the Tate splitting-module construction. The class is transported from the class module through local reciprocity.

H² of A(L) on a p-subgroup has the order of the subgroup (NSW (3.6.4), read through local reciprocity): #H²(S, A(L)) = #S for every p-subgroup S of Gal(L/K).

H²(Gal(L/K), A(L)) is cyclic of order the p-part of [L : K] (NSW (3.6.4), read through local reciprocity): some class u generates H²(Gal(L/K), A(L)), and this group has order p ^ v_p(#Gal(L/K)). The generator is the image of the class u_{G_K/V}(p) of the class module.
