The Mackey formula along a continuous homomorphism #
Let U be an open subgroup of finite index of a topological group G, M a G-module, and
(φ, f) a compatible pair from (G, M) to (H, N): a continuous homomorphism φ : H → G and a
coefficient map f : M → N with f (φ h • m) = h • f m. Pulling back a corestricted class along
(φ, f) splits over the double cosets φ(H) \ G / U (NSW (1.5.6)):
(φ, f)^* ∘ cor^G_U = ∑_{φ(H) s U} cor^H_{H_s} ∘ (ψ_s, f ∘ s)^*, H_s = φ⁻¹(sUs⁻¹),
where ψ_s : H → G is the conjugate h ↦ s⁻¹ φ(h) s of φ, which maps H_s into U, and the
coefficient map is m ↦ f (s • m) (TauCeti.ContCohomology.explicitMap2_explicitCor2_eq_sum).
The representatives s of the double cosets are arbitrary, and so are the continuous
homomorphisms ψ_s, given with their values: for a Galois group they arise as maps along
conjugate embeddings rather than as conjugates of φ.
This is the form in which corestriction is localized: for the decomposition map φ : G_{K_v} → G_K
of a place v of a number field K, the double cosets φ(G_{K_v}) \ G_K / U classically index the
places w above v of the fixed field F of U, and H_s is the absolute Galois group of the
completion F_w.
The proof factors φ through its range D = φ(H). The subgroup Mackey formula
(TauCeti.ContCohomology.explicitCor2_mackey) computes the restriction of cor^G_U to D, and the
surjection H → D induces bijections H ⧸ φ⁻¹(D ⊓ sUs⁻¹) ≃ D ⧸ (D ⊓ sUs⁻¹), so pullback along it
commutes with each corestriction cor^D_{D ⊓ sUs⁻¹}
(TauCeti.ContCohomology.explicitCor2_pullback).

The conjugate of a compatible pair: if ψ h = s⁻¹ φ(h) s for all h, then ψ, restricted
to the preimage of U, and the coefficient map m ↦ f (s • m) form a compatible pair.
The Mackey formula along a continuous homomorphism (NSW (1.5.6)): for a compatible pair
(φ, f) and an open subgroup U of finite index, pulling back the corestriction of a class
x ∈ H²(U, M) along (φ, f) is the sum over the double cosets φ(H) \ G / U of the
corestrictions from H_s = ψ_s⁻¹(U) = φ⁻¹(sUs⁻¹) of the pullbacks of x along ψ_s and
m ↦ f (s • m), for any choice of representatives s = r D and any continuous homomorphisms
ψ_s with ψ_s h = s⁻¹ φ(h) s.
