Finiteness of low-degree Tate cohomology for integral representations #

For a finite group acting on a finitely generated abelian group, Tate cohomology in degrees zero and minus one is finite. The low-degree descriptions give quotients of finitely generated subgroups; the group order kills both quotients. These finiteness results allow Herbrand quotients of arithmetic lattices, in particular the S-units, to be used without separate finiteness assumptions.

Degree-zero Tate cohomology of a finitely generated integral representation of a finite group is finite.

Degree-minus-one Tate cohomology of a finitely generated integral representation of a finite group is finite.
