Rational dimension shifting for integral continuous cohomology #
For a compact group with trivial discrete coefficients, the connecting map of
0 → ℤ → ℚ → ℚ/ℤ → 0 identifies Hⁿ(G, ℚ/ℤ) with Hⁿ⁺¹(G, ℤ) for n > 0.
In degree one this describes integral second cohomology by continuous rational characters.
It is the connecting-map half of the computation of second integral cohomology of the
profinite integers.
The integers and rationals are lifted to the universe of the group. The rational module must
carry a discrete topology. The quotient coefficient module is supplied through an additive
equivalence with AddCircle (1 : ℚ), allowing any discrete model of the rational circle.
All caller-supplied actions are retained and assumed trivial. No new cohomology carrier is used.
The algebraic exactness is reused from ModuleCat.ratAddCircleShortComplex_shortExact;
the isomorphism uses the canonical connecting map and vanishing of positive-degree
continuous cohomology of discrete rational vector spaces.

The discrete trivial coefficient sequence 0 → ℤ → ℚ → ℚ/ℤ → 0, with a supplied
model of the rational circle. The two small coefficient groups are universe-lifted.
Instances For
The inclusion sends a lifted integer to the same rational number.
The projection is reduction of the rational value modulo 1, read in the supplied model.
Restricting the rational coefficient sequence retains the same inclusion and projection.
Rational dimension shifting in every positive degree: the canonical connecting map
Hⁿ⁺¹(G, ℚ/ℤ) → Hⁿ⁺²(G, ℤ) is an isomorphism of topological integer modules.
Instances For
The forward map of rational dimension shifting is the canonical connecting map of the named coefficient sequence.
Rational dimension shifting commutes with restriction to a compact subgroup.
Rational dimension shifting commutes with restriction to a compact subgroup.
Integral second continuous cohomology of a compact group is the additive group of continuous rational-circle characters.
Instances For
The inverse character identification takes the explicit class of the character to canonical cohomology and then applies the connecting map.
