Tate cohomology of a directed union of subrepresentations #
Let G be a finite group and M a representation of G that is the directed union of
subrepresentations A i, in the sense that the maps f i : A i ⟶ M are injective and every finite
subset of M lies in the image of one of them. This file shows that every Tate cohomology class
of M, in every integer degree, comes from one of the A i
(TauCeti.TateCohomology.exists_tateCohomologyFunctor_map_eq).
In degree n ≥ 0 the Tate complex of M consists of the functions Gⁿ → M, and in degree
n < 0 of the finitely supported functions G^(-n-1) → M. Either way an element has finitely many
values, since G is finite, so it comes from some A i (exists_tateComplex_map_f_eq). The
maps of Tate complexes induced by the f i are injective in every degree
(tateComplex_map_f_injective), so a lift of a cocycle is a cocycle, and the statement follows
from its counterpart for complexes of modules,
HomologicalComplex.exists_homologyMap_eq_of_injective.
This is how the Tate cohomology of the ideles of a number field, the union of the S-ideles over
the finite sets S of places, is computed from that of the S-ideles.

An injective morphism of representations induces injective maps on the Tate complexes, in every degree.
If every finite subset of M lies in the image of one of the maps f i : A i ⟶ M, then every
element of the Tate complex of M, in every degree, comes from the Tate complex of one of the
A i.
Tate cohomology of a directed union. Let f i : A i ⟶ M be injective morphisms of
representations of a finite group such that every finite subset of M lies in the image of one
of them. Then every class of H-hat^n(G, M), for every n : ℤ, is the image of a class of
H-hat^n(G, A i) for some i.
