Continuous 1-cocycles on a free pro-p group #
Let F = freeProP p X be the free pro-p group on a type X, and let M be a profinite abelian
pro-p group with a continuous action of F. A continuous 1-cocycle c : F → M, that is a
continuous crossed homomorphism c (g * h) = g • c h + c g, is the same thing as a continuous
homomorphic section g ↦ ⟨c g, g⟩ of the semidirect product M ⋊ F → F. The semidirect product is
the extension attached to the trivial factor set, it is profinite and pro-p, and such an
extension of F has a continuous homomorphic section with any prescribed values on the generators
(GroupExtension.exists_splitting_continuous_freeProP_forall_apply_of_eq). Since a cocycle is
determined by its values on a topological generating set, this identifies the continuous
1-cocycles of F with the functions on the generators:
Z¹(F, M) ≃+ (X → M), by evaluation at the generators (TauCeti.freeProP.Z1Equiv).
Consequently a surjective continuous equivariant map M → N of coefficient modules induces a
surjection Z¹(F, M) → Z¹(F, N), hence H¹(F, M) → H¹(F, N): a cocycle into N lifts to a
cocycle into M by lifting its values on the generators.
No finiteness of X is needed, and M need not be discrete: any profinite abelian pro-p
coefficient module with a continuous action is allowed, exactly as for the vanishing of H² in
TauCeti.Topology.Algebra.Group.Profinite.Free.Cohomology. The coefficient module is written
additively; the pro-p hypothesis is on Multiplicative M.

Two continuous 1-cocycles on a free pro-p group that agree on the generators are equal.
Continuous 1-cocycles on a free pro-p group take prescribed values on the generators.
For F = freeProP p X and M a profinite abelian pro-p group with a continuous action of F,
every function X → M is the restriction to the generators of a continuous 1-cocycle F → M.
The cocycle is read off a continuous homomorphic section F → M ⋊ F of the semidirect product,
which the universal property of F supplies with the prescribed values.
Evaluation at the generators identifies the continuous 1-cocycles of a free pro-p group
with the functions on the generators, Z¹(F, M) ≃+ (X → M).

Instances For
A surjective coefficient map induces a surjection on the continuous 1-cocycles of a free
pro-p group. For f : M → N continuous, equivariant and surjective, every continuous
1-cocycle c : F → N is f ∘ c' for a continuous 1-cocycle c' : F → M: lift the values of
c on the generators through f, take the cocycle c' with those values, and compare f ∘ c'
with c on the generators.
A surjective coefficient map induces a surjection on H¹ of a free pro-p group: the
coefficient map H¹(F, M) → H¹(F, N) induced by a continuous surjective equivariant
homomorphism f : M →+[F] N is surjective, because it already is on cocycles
(TauCeti.freeProP.cocyclesMap1_surjective).
