Demushkin groups #
A Demushkin group is a pro-p group G whose cohomology with trivial 𝔽_p coefficients looks
like that of a closed surface: H¹(G, 𝔽_p) is finite-dimensional, H²(G, 𝔽_p) is one-dimensional,
and the cup product H¹(G, 𝔽_p) × H¹(G, 𝔽_p) → H²(G, 𝔽_p) is a nondegenerate pairing (Labute,
p. 106). The maximal pro-p quotients of the absolute Galois groups of p-adic fields containing
the p-th roots of unity are the motivating examples.
The definition is the predicate IsDemushkin p G, stated against the continuous cohomology
cohomFp p G n and the cup product cupFp p G on it. Its first consequences are proved here: a
Demushkin group is topologically finitely generated, its rank demushkinRank is the dimension of
H¹(G, 𝔽_p), and it is a one-relator pro-p group, presented on demushkinRank generators by a
single relator lying in the Frattini subgroup of the free pro-p group, and its rank is positive.
A free pro-p group is not Demushkin, since its H²(G, 𝔽_p) vanishes.

The Demushkin predicate (Labute, p. 106), for a prime p and a profinite group G: a
pro-p group whose H¹(G, 𝔽_p) is finite-dimensional, whose H²(G, 𝔽_p) is one-dimensional, and
on which the cup product H¹(G, 𝔽_p) × H¹(G, 𝔽_p) → H²(G, 𝔽_p) is nondegenerate on both sides.
The primality and profiniteness of the ambient data are hypotheses of the predicate, so that it is
only stated on its mathematical domain, and the pro-p hypothesis is a field, so that no theorem
about Demushkin groups applies to a group that satisfies only the cohomological clauses. Finite
generation is a consequence, IsDemushkin.isTopologicallyFinitelyGenerated, and is not assumed.

Instances For
A Demushkin group is topologically finitely generated: its H¹(G, 𝔽_p) is
finite-dimensional, and the dimension of H¹(G, 𝔽_p) is the topological generator rank.
The rank of a Demushkin group: its topological generator rank, as a natural number. Every numerical statement about a Demushkin group is about this accessor.
Equations
Instances For
The rank of a Demushkin group is its topological generator rank.
The rank of a presented Demushkin group is the number of generators when the relators lie in the Frattini subgroup: such a presentation is minimal.
The rank of a Demushkin group is an isomorphism invariant.
The rank of a Demushkin group is the dimension of H¹(G, 𝔽_p).
H²(G, 𝔽_p) of a Demushkin group is finite, being one-dimensional over 𝔽_p.
A Demushkin group is a one-relator pro-p group. On any finite type X with
demushkinRank hG elements, a Demushkin group G is presented by a single relator r of the free
pro-p group on X, and r lies in the Frattini subgroup Φ(F) = closure (Fᵖ [F, F]), so the
presentation is minimal: the number of relators of a minimal presentation is the dimension of
H²(G, 𝔽_p), which is 1.
A Demushkin group is a one-relator pro-p group on Fin n, n = demushkinRank hG: it is
presented by a single relator r ∈ Φ(F) of the free pro-p group on Fin (demushkinRank hG),
whatever the universe of G.
A Demushkin group has positive rank: on an empty generating type the presented group is
trivial, and a trivial group has vanishing H²(G, 𝔽_p), which is not one-dimensional.
A presentation of a Demushkin group has at least one generator: the rank of the group is positive and at most the number of generators.
A relator presenting a Demushkin group lies in the Frattini subgroup: a one-relator
presentation ⟨X ∣ r⟩ of a Demushkin group on a finite type X is minimal. In the count
#X + dim H²(G, 𝔽_p) = d(G) + d(R ⧸ Rᵖ[R, F]) of the presentation, H²(G, 𝔽_p) is
one-dimensional and the single relator normally generates R, so d(G) ≥ #X, and d(G) ≤ #X
always.
A free pro-p group is not Demushkin: its H²(F, 𝔽_p) vanishes, so it is not
one-dimensional. This covers the trivial group and ℤ_p.
