Cohomological dimension read on the explicit cohomology #

The vanishing predicate CohomologicalDimensionLE p G n is stated against Mathlib's continuous cohomology continuousCohomology i (ofDiscreteModule ℤ G M), while the low-degree theory of LowDegree.lean works with the explicit cocycle models H¹(G, M) and H²(G, M). This file transfers the vanishing through the comparison of CohomologyComparison.lean: for a locally compact group G with cd_p G ≤ 1, the explicit H²(G, A) of every discrete p-primary G-module A is trivial.

The coefficients live in the universe of G: the continuous-cohomology side needs them in a universe containing that of G, and the explicit comparison is stated for coefficients in exactly that universe.

Main results #

cd_p G ≤ 1 kills the explicit H² of every discrete p-primary G-module.
