Functoriality of the completed group algebra #
A continuous group homomorphism f : Γ →* Δ induces an R-algebra homomorphism
completedGroupAlgebra.map R f hf : R[[Γ]] →ₐ[R] R[[Δ]] between the completed group algebras.
At the level V of R[[Δ]] it is the map R[Γ ⧸ f⁻¹(V)] → R[Δ ⧸ V] induced by f on the
quotients, applied to the level f⁻¹(V) of R[[Γ]] (proj_map); the same description holds
at every level U ≤ f⁻¹(V) of R[[Γ]] (proj_map_of_le), which is how the levels of a
composite are compared. The map sends group elements to group elements (map_of) and satisfies
the two functor laws map_id and map_comp. A topological isomorphism e : Γ ≃ₜ* Δ therefore
induces an isomorphism of R-algebras completedGroupAlgebra.domCongr R e : R[[Γ]] ≃ₐ[R] R[[Δ]].
When the open normal quotients of Γ are finite, map is continuous for the inverse-limit
topologies (continuous_map). When moreover the coefficient ring is compact Hausdorff and f
is surjective, map is surjective (map_surjective); the compactness is what lets the levelwise
preimages be assembled into one element. For R = ℤ_[p] and profinite Γ, Δ these hypotheses
are all instances, so a continuous surjection of profinite groups induces a surjection of Iwasawa
algebras.

The image of the projection of x at the level U' of R[[Γ]] under the map
R[Γ ⧸ U'] → R[Δ ⧸ V] induced by f can be read from any level U ≤ U': it is the image of the
projection of x at U under the map R[Γ ⧸ U] → R[Δ ⧸ V] induced by f. This is the
compatibility between the levels of R[[Γ]] that the levelwise description of map rests on.
The R-algebra homomorphism R[[Γ]] →ₐ[R] R[[Δ]] induced by a continuous group
homomorphism f : Γ →* Δ: at the level V of R[[Δ]] it applies the map
R[Γ ⧸ f⁻¹(V)] → R[Δ ⧸ V] induced by f to the level f⁻¹(V) of R[[Γ]] (proj_map). It sends
group elements to group elements (map_of) and satisfies the functor laws map_id and
map_comp.

Instances For
The projection of map R f hf x at the level V of R[[Δ]] is the image of the projection
of x at the level f⁻¹(V) of R[[Γ]] under the map induced by f on the quotients.
The composite of map R f hf with the projection at the level V of R[[Δ]] is the
projection at the level f⁻¹(V) of R[[Γ]] followed by the map induced by f on the
quotients.
The projection of map R f hf x at the level V of R[[Δ]] can be read from any level
U of R[[Γ]] that f maps into V: it is the image of the projection of x at U under
the map R[Γ ⧸ U] → R[Δ ⧸ V] induced by f.
The projection of map R f hf x at the level V of R[[Δ]] vanishes exactly when the
projection of x at the level f⁻¹(V) of R[[Γ]] does: the map R[Γ ⧸ f⁻¹(V)] → R[Δ ⧸ V]
induced by f is injective.
The induced map sends the group element γ to the group element f γ.
The map induced by the identity is the identity.
The map induced by a composite is the composite of the induced maps.
The R-algebra isomorphism R[[Γ]] ≃ₐ[R] R[[Δ]] induced by a topological isomorphism
e : Γ ≃ₜ* Δ; its underlying map is map R e (map_continuous e), and its inverse is
induced by e.symm.
Equations
Instances For
The isomorphism induced by e sends the group element γ to the group element e γ.
When the open normal quotients of Γ are finite, the induced map between the completed
group algebras is continuous for the inverse-limit topologies.
When the open normal quotients of Γ are finite and the coefficient ring is compact
Hausdorff, the map induced by a continuous surjection f : Γ →* Δ between the completed group
algebras is surjective. For R = ℤ_[p] and profinite Γ all the hypotheses on R and Γ are
instances.
