The pro-p class module for arbitrary finite quotients #
Restriction to a Sylow p-subgroup reduces the class-module computation for an arbitrary finite
quotient to the p-group case. The restriction is injective because its index is prime to p,
while the change-of-group equivalences identify its target with the cohomology of the preimage of
the Sylow subgroup.
Main results #
For a profinite group G with scd_p G ≤ 2 and an open normal subgroup V:
TauCeti.subsingleton_h1_abelianizationProP:H¹(G ⧸ V, V^ab(p)) = 0;TauCeti.abelianizationProPClass_generates:H²(G ⧸ V, V^ab(p))is generated by the classu_{G/V}(p)and has order thep-part of#(G ⧸ V).
For an open subgroup U of G and V ◁ U open, these apply to the pair V ◁ U, since
scd_p U ≤ scd_p G (TauCeti.strictCohomologicalDimensionAt_le_of_isClosed). Through the change of
group, for V ≤ W:
TauCeti.subsingleton_h1_map_abelianizationProP:H¹(W.map (mk' V), V^ab(p)) = 0;TauCeti.explicitRes2_abelianizationProPClass_generates:H²(W.map (mk' V), V^ab(p))is generated by the restriction ofu_{G/V}(p)and has order thep-part of#(W.map (mk' V)).

The first cohomology of the pro-p class module vanishes. If G has strict
p-cohomological dimension at most two and V is open and normal, then
H¹(G ⧸ V, V^ab(p)) is trivial.
The pro-p class generates second cohomology. If G has strict p-cohomological
dimension at most two and V is open and normal, then u_{G/V}(p) generates
H²(G ⧸ V, V^ab(p)), whose order is the p-part of #(G ⧸ V).
The first cohomology of the pro-p class module on an open subgroup vanishes. If G has

The restricted pro-p class generates second cohomology (NSW (3.6.1)(i) with (3.6.4)). If
G has strict p-cohomological dimension at most two, V is open and normal and V ≤ W, then
the restriction of u_{G/V}(p) generates H²(W.map (mk' V), V^ab(p)), whose order is the
p-part of #(W.map (mk' V)).
