Corestriction in the top degree of strict cohomological dimension #

Let G be a profinite group with scd_p G ≤ n and U an open subgroup. Then every p-primary class of Hⁿ(G, M) is the corestriction of a p-primary class of Hⁿ(U, M), for every discrete G-module M (the surjectivity half of NSW (3.3.11)). In the class-module theorem for groups of strict cohomological dimension two, this is what makes the transfer G^ab(p) → U^ab(p) injective.

For U normal, corestriction is moreover injective on the p-primary part of the coinvariants of G ⧸ U (the injectivity half of NSW (3.3.11)): a p-primary class of Hⁿ(U, M) whose corestriction vanishes lies in the subgroup generated by the differences (g)_* w - w of p-primary classes w, where (g)_* is the conjugation TauCeti.ContinuousCohomology.conjNormalMap. NSW state (3.3.11) as an isomorphism Hⁿ(U, M)(p)_{G ⧸ U} ≅ Hⁿ(G, M)(p) induced by corestriction; its injectivity half is stated here as this description of the kernel, which avoids forming the coinvariants. Both halves hold in every degree n, including n = 0, and only need n to bound the strict cohomological dimension at p.

Corestriction in the top degree of strict cohomological dimension (NSW (3.3.11), surjectivity). For a profinite group G with StrictCohomologicalDimensionLE p G n, a prime p and an open subgroup U, every p-primary class of Hⁿ(G, M) is the corestriction of a p-primary class of Hⁿ(U, M), for every discrete G-module M.

Corestriction in the top degree of strict cohomological dimension (NSW (3.3.11), surjectivity), stated through scd_p G ≤ n: for an open subgroup U of a profinite group G, corestriction maps the p-primary component of Hⁿ(U, M) onto that of Hⁿ(G, M).

Injectivity on the coinvariants #

Corestriction in the top degree of strict cohomological dimension is injective on the coinvariants (NSW (3.3.11), injectivity). For a profinite group G with StrictCohomologicalDimensionLE p G n, a prime p and an open normal subgroup U, a p-primary class of Hⁿ(U, M) whose corestriction to Hⁿ(G, M) vanishes lies in the subgroup generated by the differences (g)_* w - w of p-primary classes w ∈ Hⁿ(U, M), for every discrete G-module M.

Corestriction in the top degree of strict cohomological dimension is injective on the coinvariants (NSW (3.3.11), injectivity), stated through scd_p G ≤ n: for an open normal subgroup U of a profinite group G, a p-primary class of Hⁿ(U, M) with trivial corestriction lies in the subgroup generated by the differences (g)_* w - w of p-primary classes.
