Crossed homomorphisms of pro-p groups into ℤ_p along the lower p-series #
Let G be a topological group, χ : G →ₜ* ℤ_pˣ a continuous character with values in the
principal units 1 + pℤ_p (as every continuous character of a pro-p group has,
TauCeti.IsProP.mem_unitsPrincipal_one), and f : G → ℤ_p a continuous crossed homomorphism for
χ, that is f (g * h) = χ g * f h + f g. Along the lower p-series λ_k = λ_k(G) both the
character and the crossed homomorphism gain one power of p per step:
χ g ≡ 1 mod p ^ (k + 1)forg ∈ λ_k(TauCeti.mem_unitsPrincipal_of_mem_pLowerCentralSeriesinProfinite/ProP/PadicUnits.lean), since ap-th power of1 + p ^ (k + 1) ℤ_plies in1 + p ^ (k + 2) ℤ_pandℤ_pˣis commutative;p ^ k ∣ f gforg ∈ λ_k(TauCeti.IsCrossedHom.pow_dvd_apply_of_mem_pLowerCentralSeries), sincef (x ^ p) = (1 + χ x + ⋯ + χ x ^ (p - 1)) f xwith the geometric sum divisible byp, andf ⁅x, y⁆ = (χ x - 1) f y - (χ y - 1) f xwithχ x - 1 ∈ p ^ (k + 1) ℤ_pforx ∈ λ_k.
The quotient f g / p ^ k, read modulo p, is therefore defined on λ_k; it is additive, because
χ ≡ 1 mod p, and it kills λ_{k+1}. It descends to the graded functional
Δ_k(f) : gr_k(G) → 𝔽_p on the graded piece gr_k(G) = λ_k ⧸ λ_{k+1}
(TauCeti.IsCrossedHom.gradedFunctional), an 𝔽_p-linear functional characterized by
Δ_k(f) (class of g) = (f g / p ^ k) mod p (TauCeti.IsCrossedHom.gradedFunctional_gradedMk). On
the iterated p-power π^k ξ of the class ξ ∈ gr_0(G) of an element g on which the character
is trivial, Δ_k(f) (π^k ξ) = f g mod p
(TauCeti.IsCrossedHom.gradedFunctional_gradedPowIter_gradedMkZero), because f (g ^ (p ^ k)) = p ^ k f g when χ g = 1. In degree zero, Δ_0(f) is the reduction of f modulo p, the
𝔽_p-character of G that f induces on the Frattini quotient.
These functionals are the linear maps Δ of Labute's Lemma 4. For the crossed homomorphisms D_i
of a free pro-p group F taking the value 1 at the generator x_i and 0 at the others,
Δ_k(D_i) takes the value δ_{ij} on the p-power π^k ξ_j of the class of a generator x_j
on which the character is trivial, and it vanishes on the image of the basis-modification map δ
for the orientation of a Demushkin group in normal form. So when a class of a graded piece of the
kernel of the orientation is written as an element of that image plus a combination
Σ_j c_j π^k ξ_j of these p-powers, as the constrained span statement of the normal form
allows, the Δ_k(D_i) read off the coefficients c_j. That is what cuts the image of δ out of
the graded pieces of the kernel of the orientation in the classification of the dyadic Demushkin
groups of even rank.

Divisibility of a crossed homomorphism along the lower p-series #
A continuous crossed homomorphism is divisible by p ^ k on λ_k(G). For a continuous
character χ with values in 1 + pℤ_p and a continuous crossed homomorphism f for χ, the
elements g with p ^ k ∣ f g form a closed subgroup; it contains the p-th powers of the
elements of λ_{k-1}(G), because the geometric sum 1 + χ x + ⋯ + χ x ^ (p - 1) is divisible by
p, and their commutators with G, because χ x - 1 ∈ p ^ k ℤ_p for x ∈ λ_{k-1}(G).
The graded functional #
The graded functional of a crossed homomorphism. For a continuous character χ of G
with values in 1 + pℤ_p and a continuous crossed homomorphism f : G → ℤ_p for χ, the
𝔽_p-linear functional Δ_k(f) : gr_k(G) → 𝔽_p on the graded piece gr_k(G) = λ_k ⧸ λ_{k+1}
sending the class of g ∈ λ_k(G) to (f g / p ^ k) mod p
(TauCeti.IsCrossedHom.gradedFunctional_gradedMk); it is well defined because f is divisible by
p ^ k on λ_k(G) and by p ^ (k + 1) on λ_{k+1}(G), and additive because χ ≡ 1 mod p.
Equations
- One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.
Instances For
The graded functional on classes: if f g = p ^ k * c for g ∈ λ_k(G), then
Δ_k(f) (class of g) = c mod p. This is the defining equation of
TauCeti.IsCrossedHom.gradedFunctional, since c is determined by f g.
The kernel of the graded functional on classes: Δ_k(f) kills the class of g ∈ λ_k(G)
exactly when p ^ (k + 1) ∣ f g.
In degree zero the graded functional is the reduction modulo p:
Δ_0(f) (class of g) = f g mod p.
The graded functional on an iterated p-power. For g ∈ G with χ g = 1, the value of
Δ_k(f) on π^k ξ, where ξ ∈ gr_0(G) is the class of g, is f g mod p: indeed
f (g ^ (p ^ k)) = p ^ k * f g when χ g = 1.
The graded functional on an iterated p-power of an element killed by the crossed
homomorphism: if f g = 0, then Δ_k(f) (π^k ξ) = 0 for the class ξ of g, since
f (g ^ (p ^ k)) is a multiple of f g.
The graded functional on an iterated p-power of a bracket:
Δ_{m+1}(f) (π^m [ξ_g, ξ_h]) = Δ_1(f) ([ξ_g, ξ_h]), because
f (⁅g, h⁆ ^ (p ^ m)) = p ^ m * f ⁅g, h⁆, the character being trivial on commutators.
A continuous crossed homomorphism of a pro-p group vanishes modulo p on the Frattini
subgroup. For a continuous character χ : G → ℤ_pˣ of a pro-p group G and a continuous
crossed homomorphism f for χ, p ∣ f g for g ∈ λ_1(G) = Φ(G): the case k = 1 of
TauCeti.IsCrossedHom.pow_dvd_apply_of_mem_pLowerCentralSeries, since χ ≡ 1 mod p.
Crossed homomorphisms on p-adic powers #
A continuous crossed homomorphism vanishing at x vanishes on the p-adic powers of
x.
On an element where the character is trivial, a continuous crossed homomorphism is
ℤ_p-linear along p-adic powers: f (x ^ l) = l * f x for l ∈ ℤ_p.
