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:

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:

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 strict p-cohomological dimension at most two, V is open and normal and V ≤ W, then H¹(W.map (mk' V), V^ab(p)) is trivial.

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)).
