The Mackey double-coset formula in every degree #
Let U be an open subgroup and V a closed subgroup of a profinite group G, and M a discrete
G-module. The Mackey double-coset formula (NSW (1.5.6)) computes restriction to V of the
corestriction from U on Mathlib's canonical continuous cohomology, in every degree n:
res^G_V ∘ cor^G_U = ∑_{VsU ∈ V \ G / U} cor^V_{V ⊓ sUs⁻¹} ∘ (s)_* ∘ res^U_{U ⊓ s⁻¹Vs},
for any choice r of representatives s = r D of the double cosets. As in degrees 0, 1, 2
(TauCeti.ContCohomology.explicitCor0_mackey and its companions), the composite
(s)_* ∘ res^U_{U ⊓ s⁻¹Vs} is the single compatible-pair map along
Subgroup.continuousMackeyToH : V ⊓ sUs⁻¹ → U, y ↦ s⁻¹ y s, with coefficient map m ↦ s • m,
and the summand TauCeti.ContinuousCohomology.mackeyTerm follows it with the all-degree
corestriction from the Mackey subgroup V ⊓ sUs⁻¹, which is open in the profinite group V.
There is no cochain formula in arbitrary degree; the formula is read off from coinduced modules.
Corestriction is the inverse of Shapiro's isomorphism followed by the coefficient map of the trace
Coind_U^G M → M, so after Shapiro's isomorphism for U both sides become coefficient maps
Hⁿ(G, Coind_U^G M) ⟶ Hⁿ(G, Coind_V^G M) followed by the Shapiro map of V:
- on the left, by
TauCeti.ContinuousCohomology.coeffMap_unit_comp_shapiroMap, the coefficient map of the trace followed by the unitM → Coind_V^G M; - on the right, the coefficient map of
Φ ↦ (x ↦ ∑_w w s • Φ (s⁻¹ w⁻¹ x)), the sum overV ⧸ (V ⊓ sUs⁻¹): conjugation of coinduced modules (TauCeti.ContinuousCohomology.shapiroMap_comp_map_of_conj, which rests on inner automorphisms acting trivially), transitivity of the Shapiro map (TauCeti.ContinuousCohomology.shapiroMap_trans) and its naturality move the summand there.
The two module maps agree by the double-coset splitting of G ⧸ U
(TauCeti.mackeyQuotientEquiv), the trace being computed along the adapted transversal
Subgroup.mackeyTransversal. This follows the coinduced-module treatment of the transfer in

One summand of the Mackey double-coset formula, cor^V_{V ⊓ sUs⁻¹} ∘ (s)_* ∘ res, in
every degree: the map of the compatible pair of V ⊓ sUs⁻¹ → U, y ↦ s⁻¹ y s, and of the action
of s on M, followed by corestriction from the Mackey subgroup V ⊓ sUs⁻¹ up to V. The
subgroup U is open and V is closed in the profinite group G, so that V is profinite and the
Mackey subgroup is open in V.

The Mackey double-coset formula in every degree (NSW (1.5.6)). For an open subgroup U
of finite index and a closed subgroup V of a profinite group G, and a discrete G-module M,
restriction to V of the corestriction from U is the sum over the double cosets V \ G / U of
the summands cor^V_{V ⊓ sUs⁻¹} ∘ (s)_* ∘ res, for any choice r of representatives s = r D of
the double cosets:
res^G_V ∘ cor^G_U = ∑_{VsU ∈ V \ G / U} cor^V_{V ⊓ sUs⁻¹} ∘ (s)_* ∘ res^U_{U ⊓ s⁻¹Vs}.
Each summand of the Mackey formula depends only on the double coset VsU of s, in
every degree.
