Inflation with twisted coefficients and the prescription property #
Let N be a normal subgroup of a topological group G, let π : G → G ⧸ N be the quotient map
and let χ : G ⧸ N →ₜ* ℤ_pˣ be a continuous character. The subgroup N acts trivially on the
twisted module I(χ ∘ π)/pⁱ, so its N-invariants are all of it, and they are I(χ)/pⁱ as a
G ⧸ N-module. Reading the degree-one inflation H¹(G ⧸ N, M ^ N) → H¹(G, M) through this
identification gives the twisted inflation
H¹(G ⧸ N, I(χ)/pⁱ) → H¹(G, I(χ ∘ π)/pⁱ),
which is injective and commutes with the reductions I(χ)/pⁱ → I(χ)/pʲ.
If moreover N has no nontrivial continuous p-group quotient, the twisted inflation is
bijective: by the inflation-restriction sequence its image is the kernel of restriction to N,
and H¹(N, I(χ ∘ π)/pⁱ) vanishes, because N acts trivially, so that its classes are the
continuous homomorphisms from N to the finite p-group ℤ/pⁱ, and there are none but 0.
Consequently χ has the prescription property exactly when χ ∘ π has it. This applies to the
maximal pro-p quotient G(p) = G ⧸ proPKernel p G of a profinite group G, whose pro-p
kernel has no p-quotient (TauCeti.proPKernel_proPKernel_eq_top): a character of G(p) has the
prescription property if and only if its pullback to G does. For G an absolute Galois group,
this reduces the prescription property of a character of the maximal pro-p Galois group, such
as a descended cyclotomic character, to the corresponding statement about the absolute Galois
group itself, where Kummer theory is available.

The normal subgroup N acts trivially on the twisted module of a character pulled back from
G ⧸ N, because the pulled-back character is 1 on N.
The N-invariants of I(χ ∘ π)/pⁱ, which are all of it (smul_eq_self_of_mem), are
I(χ)/pⁱ. On residue classes this is the identity; it is G ⧸ N-equivariant
(fixedPointsEquiv_smul).

Instances For
Twisted inflation is the pullback along the quotient map G → G ⧸ N, paired with the
identification TauCeti.ZModTwist.compEquiv of I(χ)/pⁱ with I(χ ∘ π)/pⁱ, which is the identity
on residue classes.
Twisted inflation is injective.
Twisted inflation commutes with the reductions I(χ)/pⁱ → I(χ)/pʲ: on cocycles both
composites send a cocycle on G ⧸ N to the same cocycle on G.
Twisted inflation is bijective when N has no nontrivial continuous p-group quotient.
Its image is the kernel of restriction to N (TauCeti.ContCohomology.explicitInfRes_exact), and
H¹(N, I(χ ∘ π)/pⁱ) vanishes: N acts trivially, so its classes are continuous homomorphisms
from N to the finite p-group ℤ/pⁱ (TauCeti.ContCohomology.H1EquivOfSmulEqSelf), and these
are trivial (TauCeti.eq_one_of_proPKernel_eq_top).
The prescription property descends along a quotient with no p-quotient kernel. If N
has no nontrivial continuous p-group quotient, a character χ of G ⧸ N has the prescription
property exactly when its pullback χ ∘ π to G does: twisted inflation identifies the
reductions H¹(-, I(-)/pⁱ) → H¹(-, I(-)/p) of the two groups.
The prescription property on the maximal pro-p quotient. For a profinite group G, a
character of its maximal pro-p quotient G(p) has the prescription property exactly when its
pullback to G does.
