First cohomology tensor comparison and prime-to-index descent #
Let N be an open normal subgroup of G, let p be prime to [G : N], and let A be a
finite ZMod p-module with the discrete topology on which N acts trivially. This file
constructs the canonical comparison (available for any topological group acting trivially on a
discrete A)
H¹(N, ZMod p) ⊗ A ≃ H¹(N, A).
The map evaluates a continuous character and scales its value by the tensor's second factor.
It intertwines inverse conjugation on H¹(N, ZMod p) and the coefficient action on A with
conjugation on H¹(N, A). Restriction and the prime-to-p coprime-descent theorem therefore give
dim H¹(G, A) = dim (H¹(N, ZMod p) ⊗ A)^G.
The final form is stated using the quotient representation of G/N, so it can be consumed by
representation-theoretic invariant-dimension results.

The first-cohomology tensor comparison. If H acts trivially on a finite
ZMod p-module A with the discrete topology, evaluation identifies H¹(H, ZMod p) ⊗ A with
H¹(H, A). The map is canonical even though a basis is used to prove its bijectivity.
Instances For
On a pure tensor, h1TensorEquiv is pointwise evaluation followed by scalar multiplication.
Under the continuous-homomorphism description of H¹, conjugation sends a character c
to n ↦ g • c(g⁻¹ng).
The diagonal action on H¹(N, ZMod p) ⊗ A: conjugation on the character factor and the
given action on the coefficient factor.
Instances For
The diagonal conjugation map acts on a pure tensor by conjugating the first factor and applying the coefficient action to the second.
Equivariance of h1TensorEquiv on pure tensors.
The first-cohomology tensor comparison is equivariant for the diagonal conjugation and coefficient action.
The subspace fixed by every diagonal conjugation map on H¹(N, ZMod p) ⊗ A. When N
acts trivially on A, the diagonal action factors through G/N, and this is the invariant
subspace of the induced quotient representation.
Instances For
Membership in h1TensorConjInvariants means being fixed by every diagonal conjugation map.
Equivariance restricts h1TensorEquiv to the invariant subspaces.
Instances For
The forward map of h1TensorInvariantsEquiv is h1TensorEquiv on underlying elements.
The inverse of h1TensorInvariantsEquiv is the inverse of h1TensorEquiv on underlying
elements.
Coprime descent followed by the tensor comparison.
Instances For
The forward map of h1CoprimeTensorInvariantsEquiv is restriction to N followed by the
inverse tensor comparison.
The first-cohomology tensor-invariant dimension formula. For an open normal subgroup of
index prime to p acting trivially on A, the dimension of H¹(G, A) is the dimension of the
invariants in H¹(N, ZMod p) ⊗ A.
Conjugation makes H¹(N, ZMod p) a G/N-representation. Inner conjugation by an element
of N is trivial on cohomology, so the ambient G-action factors through the quotient.
Instances For
The quotient representation evaluated on the class of g is conjugation by g.
The fixed subspace defined through h1TensorConj is the usual invariant subspace of the
tensor product of the quotient representations.
The representation-theoretic first-cohomology dimension formula. This is the form
consumed by finrankTensorInvariantsK0: the right side is the invariant dimension of the tensor
of the quotient representation H¹(N, ZMod p) with A.
