The cup product with trivial ZMod p coefficients #
Multiplication in ZMod p gives a continuous equivariant pairing of the trivial coefficient
representations. Its cup product in degrees (1, 1) is the bilinear pairing on continuous
cohomology used to define and study Demushkin groups. The coefficient representation is lifted
to the universe of the group, as required by the continuous cohomology complex. When p is
prime, ZMod p is the field ๐ฝ_p.
Because multiplication is commutative the opposite pairing of fpPairing p G is itself, and
graded commutativity of the cup product in bidegree (1, 1) reads cupFp p G a b = - cupFp p G b a
(TauCeti.cupFp_gradedComm). Consequently a โฃ b vanishes exactly when b โฃ a does, and at an
odd prime every cup square a โฃ a vanishes, since 2 is then invertible in ๐ฝ_p.
