Tate's duality maps through a normal subgroup of finite index, by dimension shifting #
Let G be a compact topological group, V a normal subgroup of finite index, and N a discrete
G-module with N ≃+ ZMod n and H²(G, N) ≃+ ZMod n, on which V acts trivially. For a finite
discrete G-module M write M' = InternalHom G M N for its dual and
αᵢ : Hⁱ(G, M) → Hom(H²⁻ⁱ(G, M'), H²(G, N)), i = 0, 1, 2, for Tate's duality maps
(TauCeti.ContCohomology.dualityMap0, dualityMap1, dualityMap2).
This file proves that Tate's duality on the coinduced modules gives Tate's duality on every
finite module killed by n on which V acts trivially
(TauCeti.ContCohomology.dualityMap0_bijective_of_bijective_discreteCoind,
dualityMap1_bijective_of_injective_discreteCoind,
dualityMap2_bijective_of_bijective_discreteCoind): if α₀, α₁ are bijective and α₂ is
injective on Coind_V^G A for every such A, then α₀ and α₂ are bijective on every such A;
and if α₀ is bijective and α₁ injective on Coind_V^G A for
every such A, then so is α₁ on every such A once H¹(G, A') is finite. Over a
local field K, with V = G_L for a finite Galois extension L/K containing the n-th roots of
unity and N = μₙ, this is the step of local Tate duality that passes from the coinduced modules,
whose duality is that of G_L by Shapiro's lemma, to all finite Galois modules killed by n that
become trivial over L.
The class 𝒞 of finite discrete G-modules killed by n on which V acts trivially is closed
under the two operations the argument needs: the cokernel Coind_V^G A ⧸ A of the unit of
coinduction (TauCeti.ContCohomology.CoindQuotient.smul_eq_self_of_forall_smul_eq_self, using
normality of V), and the dual A', since V acts trivially on N. The argument runs in two
passes over 𝒞, along the short exact sequence 0 → A → Coind_V^G A → C → 0 of the unit
(TauCeti.ContCohomology.coindShortExact), whose dual sequence exists for all coefficients
(TauCeti.ContCohomology.precomp_coindShortExact_inclDistribMulActionHom_surjective).
- Injectivity, degree by degree.
α₀is injective onAbecause it is onCoind_V^G AandH⁰is left exact (TauCeti.ContCohomology.dualityMap0_injective_of_injective). Injectivity ofαᵢon the cokernelC, which lies in𝒞, then gives injectivity ofαᵢ₊₁onAby the four lemma along the ladder of the sequence (TauCeti.ContCohomology.DiscreteShortExact.dualityMap1_injective_left,DiscreteShortExact.dualityMap2_injective_left); the Baer hypothesis onH²(G, N)holds sinceℤ/nℤis self-injective. - Bijectivity, by counting. On
A ∈ 𝒞with dualA' ∈ 𝒞, injectivity ofαᵢonAand ofα₂₋ᵢonA'forces|Hⁱ(G, A)| = |H²⁻ⁱ(G, A')|, so thatαᵢis bijective (TauCeti.ContCohomology.dualityMap0_bijective_of_injective_of_addEquiv_zmodand its companions). Finiteness ofH¹(G, A')is the one input of the count not supplied by the argument itself:H⁰is a subgroup of a finite module, andH²(G, A')embeds byα₂into the finite groupHom(H⁰(G, A''), H²(G, N)).

Tate's duality map α₀ through a normal subgroup of finite index. Let G be a compact
group, V a normal subgroup of finite index, and N a discrete G-module on which V acts
trivially, with N ≃+ ZMod n and H²(G, N) ≃+ ZMod n. Suppose that for every finite discrete
G-module A killed by n on which V acts trivially, Tate's duality maps α₀, α₁ are
bijective and α₂ is injective on the coinduced module Coind_V^G A. Then
α₀ : H⁰(G, A) → Hom(H²(G, A'), H²(G, N)) is bijective on every such A.
Tate's duality map α₁ through a normal subgroup of finite index. With G, V, N as
in TauCeti.ContCohomology.dualityMap0_bijective_of_bijective_discreteCoind, suppose that for
every finite discrete G-module A killed by n on which V acts trivially, α₀ is bijective
and α₁ is injective on the coinduced module Coind_V^G A. If moreover H¹(G, A') is finite, then
α₁ : H¹(G, A) → Hom(H¹(G, A'), H²(G, N)) is bijective on every such A.
Tate's duality map α₂ through a normal subgroup of finite index: under the hypotheses of
TauCeti.ContCohomology.dualityMap0_bijective_of_bijective_discreteCoind,
α₂ : H²(G, A) → Hom(H⁰(G, A'), H²(G, N)) is bijective.
