The pro-p class module of an open normal subgroup #
For a normal subgroup V of a topological group G, this file defines the maximal pro-p
quotient V^ab(p) of the topological abelianization of V. Conjugation induces a continuous
action of G ⧸ V on this quotient. If V is open, the defect
q.out * r.out * (q * r).out⁻¹
of the representatives chosen by Quotient.out defines a continuous 2-cocycle with values in
V^ab(p), and hence a canonical class u_{G/V}(p) ∈ H²(G ⧸ V, V^ab(p)).
The openness assumption is used only for continuity of the factor set: the quotient
G ⧸ V is discrete. The cocycle identity itself is the associativity identity for the chosen
representatives, after passing to the abelianization.

The maximal pro-p quotient V^ab(p) of the topological abelianization of V.
Instances For
The quotient map V → V^ab(p), through the topological abelianization of V.
Instances For
The quotient map V → V^ab(p) sends v to the class in the maximal pro-p quotient of its
class in the topological abelianization.
Every element of V^ab(p) is represented by an element of V.
The quotient map V → V^ab(p) is continuous.
The pro-p kernel of V^ab is stable under conjugation by G ⧸ V.
Conjugation by G ⧸ V on V^ab descends to V^ab(p).
The quotient map V → V^ab(p) intertwines conjugation by g : G with the action of the
class of g in G ⧸ V.
The action of G ⧸ V on V^ab(p) is jointly continuous.
The factor set of the extension of G ⧸ V by V^ab(p), written additively. It sends
(q, r) to the class of q.out * r.out * (q * r).out⁻¹.
Instances For
The factor set evaluates to the class of the defect of the chosen representatives.
For open normal V, the factor set is a continuous 2-cocycle of G ⧸ V with values in
V^ab(p).
The canonical class u_{G/V}(p) ∈ H²(G ⧸ V, V^ab(p)) of an open normal subgroup.
Instances For
The class u_{G/V}(p) is the image of the factor-set cocycle under the class map.
