Labute's normal form for the dyadic Demushkin groups of even rank with image {±1} × U^(f) #

Let G be a Demushkin group at p = 2 of even rank n ≥ 4 whose canonical character has image V^(f) = {±1} × U^(f) for a finite f ≥ 2. Labute's Theorem 6 says that G is presented on n generators by the single relator x₁² (x₁, x₂) x₃^{2^f} (x₃, x₄) ⋯ (x_{n-1}, x_n), the normal-form word TauCeti.demushkinWordTwoEven 0 f n; in particular two such groups with the same rank and the same f are topologically isomorphic. This file proves that theorem, from the exact normal form of the dyadic relators of even rank (TauCeti.Topology.Algebra.Group.Profinite.Demushkin.NormalForm.Two.Even.Exact), the values of the canonical character forced by that normal form, the symplectic transvection pair TauCeti.freeProP.symplecticTransvection of TauCeti.Topology.Algebra.Group.Profinite.Free.ElementaryAutomorphism, which adjusts the character value at x₂, and the constrained successive approximation of TauCeti.Topology.Algebra.Group.Profinite.Demushkin.NormalForm.Two.Even.Approximation.

The symplectic transvection pair and the normal-form word #

The symplectic transvection pair fixes the class of the normal-form word x₁^q (x₁, x₂)(x₃, x₄) ⋯ (x_{n-1}, x_n) in gr_1(F), for n ≥ 4 and p ∣ q.

The character values forced by the exact dyadic relator of even rank (Labute, Theorem 4, read on the exact normal form). Let n ≥ 4 be even and let χ be a continuous character of the free pro-2 group on n generators all of whose continuous crossed homomorphisms kill x₁^{2+α} (x₁, x₂) x₃^{q} (x₃, x₄) ⋯ (x_{n-1}, x_n), with α ∈ ℤ₂ and q : ℕ. Then χ(x₂) (1 + α) = -1, χ(x₄) (1 - q) = 1, and χ(x_i) = 1 for every other generator.

Labute's normal form for the dyadic Demushkin groups of even rank with image {±1} × U^(f) (Labute, Theorem 6). Let r ∈ Φ(F) be a relator of the free pro-2 group on an even number n ≥ 4 of generators presenting a Demushkin group G = ⟨x₁, …, x_n ∣ r⟩ whose canonical character has image V^(f) = {±1} × U^(f) for a finite f ≥ 2. Then a continuous automorphism of F carries r to x₁² (x₁, x₂) x₃^{2^f} (x₃, x₄) ⋯ (x_{n-1}, x_n).

Labute's normal form for a one-relator dyadic Demushkin group of even rank with image {±1} × U^(f). Let r ∈ Φ(F) be a relator of the free pro-2 group on an even number n ≥ 4 of generators presenting a Demushkin group whose canonical character has image V^(f), f ≥ 2 finite. Then ⟨x₁, …, x_n ∣ r⟩ is topologically isomorphic to ⟨x₁, …, x_n ∣ x₁² (x₁, x₂) x₃^{2^f} (x₃, x₄) ⋯ (x_{n-1}, x_n)⟩.

Labute's normal form for a dyadic Demushkin group of even rank with image {±1} × U^(f), intrinsic form (Labute, Theorem 6). A Demushkin group G at p = 2 of even rank n ≥ 4 whose canonical character has image V^(f) = {±1} × U^(f) for a finite f ≥ 2 is topologically isomorphic to ⟨x₁, …, x_n ∣ x₁² (x₁, x₂) x₃^{2^f} (x₃, x₄) ⋯ (x_{n-1}, x_n)⟩ on n = demushkinRank hG generators.

Uniqueness of the dyadic Demushkin groups of even rank with image {±1} × U^(f) (Labute, Theorem 6). Two Demushkin groups at p = 2 of the same even rank n ≥ 4 whose canonical characters have the same image V^(f) = {±1} × U^(f), f ≥ 2 finite, are topologically isomorphic.
