The H¹ interpretation for a pro-p group: H¹(G, 𝔽_p) is the continuous 𝔽_p-dual of the #
Frattini quotient #
For a group G with a topology, a prime p, and the trivial G-module 𝔽_p = ZMod p, a class
of H¹(G, 𝔽_p) is represented by a continuous 1-cocycle, and with trivial coefficients a
continuous 1-cocycle is a continuous character, so
TauCeti.ContCohomology.H1EquivOfSmulEqSelf identifies H¹(G, 𝔽_p) with the group of
continuous 𝔽_p-valued characters of G. The characteristic fact of this degree is that the
1-coboundaries vanish in it — the character group is what is left over, not a quotient of a
larger group of homomorphisms. The ZMod p-module structure that makes this identification an
isomorphism of 𝔽_p-vector spaces (TauCeti.instModuleH1,
TauCeti.h1EquivContinuousZModDual) needs neither profiniteness nor a pro-p hypothesis, and
holds for every modulus n, not only for a prime.
Every continuous 𝔽_p-valued character of G also kills the pro-p Frattini subgroup, so
composing the above with precomposition along the projection to the Frattini quotient gives the
further identification with the continuous 𝔽_p-dual of G ⧸ Φ(G)
(TauCeti.h1EquivFrattiniQuotientDual), whose application lemmas
TauCeti.h1EquivFrattiniQuotientDual_apply_mk and
TauCeti.h1EquivFrattiniQuotientDual_symm_apply compute it in both directions. This step, too,
needs neither profiniteness nor a pro-p hypothesis; what is specific to a pro-p group is the
numerical transfer that follows, for which compactness and total disconnectedness are needed.
Here H¹ is the explicit inhomogeneous group TauCeti.ContCohomology.H1 G (ZMod p) = Z¹/B¹,
which depends on the action of G on the coefficients, so a statement about it names the action it
is made under. The canonical carrier of that same cohomology is TauCeti.cohomFp p G 1, whose
coefficients carry the trivial action of G by themselves, so a statement about it names no
action of G at all. The identification of the two models of degree one is the existing
TauCeti.cohomFpAddEquivH1 of
TauCeti.RepresentationTheory.Homological.ContCohomology.TrivialFp.Explicit, which this file does
not restate; on the canonical carrier it reads as TauCeti.cohomFpLinearEquivContinuousZModDual,
the continuous 𝔽_p-dual of G, and TauCeti.cohomFpEquivFrattiniQuotientDual here is that
equivalence followed by the precomposition along the projection to the Frattini quotient. The
dimension and finiteness of that carrier are TauCeti.IsProP.rank_cohomFp_one,
TauCeti.IsProP.finrank_cohomFp_one and TauCeti.IsProP.finite_cohomFp_one_iff of
TauCeti.Topology.Algebra.Group.Profinite.ProP.CohomFp; this file does not restate them.
For a profinite pro-p group, Burnside's basis theorem in cardinal form
(TauCeti.IsProP.topologicalGeneratorRank_eq_rank_continuousZModDual) transfers from the
continuous dual to H¹, and this is the content of the transfer: the dimension of H¹(G, 𝔽_p)
over 𝔽_p is the topological generator rank of G, with no finiteness hypothesis. In particular
H¹(G, 𝔽_p) is finite-dimensional exactly when the pro-p group G is topologically finitely
generated, which is the finite-dimensionality the two-term Euler formula for an open subgroup
U ≤ G needs for the four spaces H⁰ and H¹ of U and G. The count of elements,
p ^ d(G) for a topologically finitely generated G and generator rank d, is the existing
TauCeti.IsProP.natCard_H1_of_natCard_eq of
TauCeti.Topology.Algebra.Group.Profinite.ProP.EulerCharacteristic.Basic, which this file does
not restate; on the canonical carrier TauCeti.cohomFp p G 1 it is that theorem read through the
existing TauCeti.cohomFpAddEquivH1, so it is not restated on that carrier either.

H¹(G, 𝔽_p) is the continuous 𝔽_p-dual of the pro-p Frattini quotient. Every
continuous 𝔽_p-valued character of G kills the pro-p Frattini subgroup, so the continuous
characters of G and those of G ⧸ Φ(G) are the same, and with them their 𝔽_p-module
structures.
Instances For
The image of a class of H¹(G, 𝔽_p) is the character its cocycle defines on the Frattini
quotient: evaluated on the class of g it is the cocycle's value at g.
The inverse image of a continuous 𝔽_p-valued character of the Frattini quotient is the
class in H¹(G, 𝔽_p) of the continuous 1-cocycle that lifts it to G.
TauCeti.cohomFp p G 1 is the continuous 𝔽_p-dual of the pro-p Frattini quotient.
This is TauCeti.cohomFpLinearEquivContinuousZModDual of
TauCeti.RepresentationTheory.Homological.ContCohomology.TrivialFp.Explicit followed by the
precomposition along the projection to the Frattini quotient, and it needs no hypothesis on an
action of G: the coefficient object of TauCeti.cohomFp carries the trivial action by
construction. It is not a second form of TauCeti.h1EquivFrattiniQuotientDual; the identification
of the two models of degree one is the existing TauCeti.cohomFpAddEquivH1, which this file does
not restate.
Instances For
A class of TauCeti.cohomFp p G 1 maps to the character of the Frattini quotient obtained by
reading the class, through TauCeti.cohomFpLinearEquivContinuousZModDual, on that quotient.
A continuous 𝔽_p-valued character of the Frattini quotient is read, through
TauCeti.frattiniQuotientDualEquiv, as a character of G and then lifted by
TauCeti.cohomFpLinearEquivContinuousZModDual to a class of TauCeti.cohomFp p G 1.
