H²(G, 𝔽_p) counts the relations of a pro-p group #
Let G be a profinite group with H²(G, 𝔽_p) = 0, for instance a free pro-p group, and let N
be a closed normal subgroup contained in the pro-p Frattini subgroup Φ(G). The transgression
H¹(N, 𝔽_p)^G → H²(G ⧸ N, 𝔽_p) is then bijective
(TauCeti.transgression_bijective_of_le_proPFrattini), and H¹(N, 𝔽_p)^G is the continuous
𝔽_p-dual of N ⧸ Nᵖ[N, G] (TauCeti.natCard_H1ConjInvariants). So H²(G ⧸ N, 𝔽_p) is finite
exactly when N ⧸ Nᵖ[N, G] is topologically finitely generated, and then it has
p ^ d(N ⧸ Nᵖ[N, G]) elements.
Applied to a minimal presentation G ≅ ⟨X ∣ rels⟩ of a pro-p group, that is a presentation whose
relators lie in the Frattini subgroup of the free pro-p group F on X
(TauCeti.presentedProP.subset_proPFrattini_iff_card_eq), with relation subgroup R the closed
normal closure of the relators, this identifies the order of H²(G, 𝔽_p) with
p ^ d(R ⧸ Rᵖ[R, F]). By Burnside's basis theorem for normal generation
(TauCeti.IsProP.topologicalGeneratorRankNat_quotient_pLowerCentralStep_le_iff), the exponent
d(R ⧸ Rᵖ[R, F]) is the least number of generators of R as a closed normal subgroup of F: the
exponent r in the order p ^ r of H²(G, 𝔽_p) counts the relations of G. Since
H²(G, 𝔽_p) does not see the presentation, that count is the same for every minimal presentation
of G. This is the presentation independence of the relation rank.
For a presentation G ≅ ⟨X ∣ rels⟩ on a finite type X that need not be minimal, the count is the
five-term exact sequence of 1 → R → F → G → 1,
0 → H¹(G, 𝔽_p) → H¹(F, 𝔽_p) → H¹(R, 𝔽_p)^F → H²(G, 𝔽_p) → H²(F, 𝔽_p) = 0,
in which H¹(F, 𝔽_p) has dimension #X, H¹(G, 𝔽_p) has dimension d(G) and H¹(R, 𝔽_p)^F has
dimension d(R ⧸ Rᵖ[R, F]): exactness gives #X + r(G) = d(G) + d(R ⧸ Rᵖ[R, F])
(TauCeti.presentedProP.card_add_finrank_H2). The surjectivity of the transgression alone shows
that H²(G, 𝔽_p) is finite as soon as R ⧸ Rᵖ[R, F] is topologically finitely generated, in
particular when there are finitely many relators, on any generating type X
(TauCeti.presentedProP.finite_H2_of_finite).
Since H²(G, 𝔽_p) is killed by p it is a vector space over 𝔽_p
(TauCeti.ContCohomology.instModuleZModH2), and its dimension is the relation rank r(G) of G.
Read as an identity of cardinals, dim H²(G, 𝔽_p) = d(R ⧸ Rᵖ[R, F]) needs no finiteness
hypothesis, exactly as Burnside's basis theorem
(TauCeti.IsProP.topologicalGeneratorRank_eq_rank_continuousZModDual) does not: a topologically
finitely generated pro-p group with infinitely many relations has an H²(G, 𝔽_p) of infinite
dimension. When R ⧸ Rᵖ[R, F] is topologically finitely generated the dimension is the
natural-number rank, the exponent r in the count p ^ r above.
The statements are about the order and the dimension of H²(G, 𝔽_p), for the explicit
continuous cohomology H2 of the trivial G-module 𝔽_p; the action of G on ZMod p is
carried as an instance together with the hypothesis that it is trivial, as in
TauCeti.Topology.Algebra.Group.Profinite.ProP.InvariantDual. The statements about a quotient
G ≅ F ⧸ R of a free pro-p group F (TauCeti.finite_H2_iff_of_le_proPFrattini,
TauCeti.natCard_H2_of_le_proPFrattini and TauCeti.card_add_finrank_H2_of_isClosed) carry the
action of F on 𝔽_p in the same way, as an instance with the hypothesis that it is trivial. The
TauCeti.presentedProP statements about a presentation do not: they supply the trivial action of
F internally, and only the action of G appears. The count and the finiteness for a presentation
on a finite type are also stated on the canonical carrier cohomFp p G 2 of the relation rank, in
which no action appears at all (TauCeti.presentedProP.card_add_finrank_cohomFp_two and
TauCeti.presentedProP.module_finite_cohomFp_two_of_finite).

Instances For
On the explicit models, the transport of H²(F ⧸ R, 𝔽_p ^ R) along e : F ⧸ R ≃ₜ* G is the
pullback along e.symm, with the coefficients 𝔽_p ^ R = 𝔽_p read through the inclusion.

group on X, let R ≤ Φ(F) be a closed normal subgroup, and let G ≅ F ⧸ R be a group acting

Instances For
The dual equivalence inverts the transgression: the class of H²(G, 𝔽_p) transgressed
from an invariant class y ∈ H¹(R, 𝔽_p)^F is sent to the character of R ⧸ Rᵖ[R, F] that y
represents.
Finiteness of H²(G, 𝔽_p) for a quotient of a free pro-p group. Let F be the free
pro-p group on X, let R ≤ Φ(F) be a closed normal subgroup, and let G ≅ F ⧸ R be a group
acting trivially on 𝔽_p, as does F. Then H²(G, 𝔽_p) is finite exactly when R ⧸ Rᵖ[R, F]
is topologically finitely generated.
H²(G, 𝔽_p) counts the generators of R ⧸ Rᵖ[R, F] for a quotient of a free pro-p
group. Let F be the free pro-p group on X, let R ≤ Φ(F) be a closed normal subgroup with
R ⧸ Rᵖ[R, F] topologically finitely generated, and let G ≅ F ⧸ R be a group acting trivially
on 𝔽_p, as does F. Then H²(G, 𝔽_p) has p ^ d(R ⧸ Rᵖ[R, F]) elements, where d is the
topological generator rank.
dim H²(G, 𝔽_p) is the rank of R ⧸ Rᵖ[R, F] for a quotient of a free pro-p group. Let
F be the free pro-p group on X, let R ≤ Φ(F) be a closed normal subgroup, and let
G ≅ F ⧸ R be a group acting trivially on 𝔽_p, as does F. Then the dimension of H²(G, 𝔽_p)
over 𝔽_p is the topological generator rank of R ⧸ Rᵖ[R, F]. No finiteness hypothesis is needed,
and the statement is an identity of cardinals; TauCeti.finrank_H2_of_le_proPFrattini is the
finite case.
dim H²(G, 𝔽_p) counts the generators of R ⧸ Rᵖ[R, F] for a quotient of a free pro-p
group. Let F be the free pro-p group on X, let R ≤ Φ(F) be a closed normal subgroup with
R ⧸ Rᵖ[R, F] topologically finitely generated, and let G ≅ F ⧸ R be a group acting trivially
on 𝔽_p, as does F. Then H²(G, 𝔽_p) has dimension d(R ⧸ Rᵖ[R, F]) over 𝔽_p, where d is
the topological generator rank. This is the finite case of
TauCeti.lift_rank_H2_of_le_proPFrattini.
The five-term count for a quotient of a free pro-p group of finite rank. Let F be the
free pro-p group on a finite type X, acting trivially on 𝔽_p, and let R be a closed normal
subgroup with R ⧸ Rᵖ[R, F] topologically finitely generated. Then
|H²(F ⧸ R, 𝔽_p ^ R)| · p ^ #X = p ^ (d(F ⧸ R) + d(R ⧸ Rᵖ[R, F])): the five-term sequence of
1 → R → F → F ⧸ R → 1 has |H¹(F, 𝔽_p)| = p ^ #X, |H¹(F ⧸ R, 𝔽_p ^ R)| = p ^ d(F ⧸ R),
|H¹(R, 𝔽_p)^F| = p ^ d(R ⧸ Rᵖ[R, F]) and H²(F, 𝔽_p) = 0.
H²(G, 𝔽_p) is finite when the relation subgroup is finitely normally generated. Let F
be the free pro-p group on any type X, let R be a closed normal subgroup with R ⧸ Rᵖ[R, F]
topologically finitely generated, and let G ≅ F ⧸ R act trivially on 𝔽_p, as does F. Then
H²(G, 𝔽_p) is finite: it is the image of the finite H¹(R, 𝔽_p)^F under the transgression, which
is surjective since H²(F, 𝔽_p) = 0.
The five-term count for a group presented by a free pro-p group of finite rank. Let F
be the free pro-p group on a finite type X, let R be a closed normal subgroup with
R ⧸ Rᵖ[R, F] topologically finitely generated, and let G ≅ F ⧸ R act trivially on 𝔽_p, as
does F. Then |H²(G, 𝔽_p)| · p ^ #X = p ^ (d(G) + d(R ⧸ Rᵖ[R, F])), where G is topologically
finitely generated as a quotient of F.
The generator, relation and normal-generator counts of a presentation. Let F be the free
pro-p group on a finite type X, let R be a closed normal subgroup with R ⧸ Rᵖ[R, F]
topologically finitely generated, and let G ≅ F ⧸ R act trivially on 𝔽_p, as does F. Then
#X + dim H²(G, 𝔽_p) = d(G) + d(R ⧸ Rᵖ[R, F]),
where d(R ⧸ Rᵖ[R, F]) is the least number of generators of R as a closed normal subgroup of
F, and G is topologically finitely generated as a quotient of F. No minimality of the
presentation is assumed.
A finite set of relators is a finset of its closed normal closure R in the free pro-p
group, with as many elements: rels is the image under Subtype.val of a finset of R of
Nat.card rels elements.
A finite relator set normally generates its relation subgroup finitely. For a finite set of
relators rels, with closed normal closure R in the free pro-p group F, the quotient
R ⧸ Rᵖ[R, F] is topologically finitely generated.
The relators bound the least number of normal generators. For a finite set of relators
rels with closed normal closure R in the free pro-p group F, the topological generator rank
of R ⧸ Rᵖ[R, F], which is the least number of generators of R as a closed normal subgroup, is
at most the number of relators.
The generator, relation and normal-generator counts of a presentation. Let G ≅ ⟨X ∣ rels⟩
be a presentation, on a finite type X, of a group acting trivially on 𝔽_p, and let R be the
closed normal closure of the relators, with R ⧸ Rᵖ[R, F] topologically finitely generated. Then
#X + dim H²(G, 𝔽_p) = d(G) + d(R ⧸ Rᵖ[R, F]),
where d(R ⧸ Rᵖ[R, F]) is the least number of generators of R as a closed normal subgroup of
F, and G is topologically finitely generated as a group presented on a finite type. The
presentation need not be minimal.
H²(G, 𝔽_p) is finite for finitely many relators. Let G ≅ ⟨X ∣ rels⟩ be a presentation,
on any type X, by finitely many relators, of a group acting trivially on 𝔽_p. Then H²(G, 𝔽_p)
is finite.
The generator, relation and normal-generator counts of a presentation, on the canonical
carrier. Let G ≅ ⟨X ∣ rels⟩ be a presentation on a finite type X, and let R be the closed
normal closure of the relators, with R ⧸ Rᵖ[R, F] topologically finitely generated. Then
#X + dim H²(G, 𝔽_p) = d(G) + d(R ⧸ Rᵖ[R, F]),
where d(R ⧸ Rᵖ[R, F]) is the least number of generators of R as a closed normal subgroup of
F, and G is topologically finitely generated as a group presented on a finite type. The
presentation need not be minimal.
H²(G, 𝔽_p) is finite-dimensional for finitely many relators, on any type of generators,
so that the relation rank r(G) = dim_{𝔽_p} H²(G, 𝔽_p) of a group presented by finitely many
relators is a natural number.
Finiteness of H²(G, 𝔽_p) from a minimal presentation. Let G ≅ ⟨X ∣ rels⟩ be a
presentation of a group acting trivially on 𝔽_p whose relators lie in the Frattini subgroup of
the free pro-p group F on X, and let R be the closed normal closure of the relators. Then
H²(G, 𝔽_p) is finite exactly when R ⧸ Rᵖ[R, F] is topologically finitely generated.
H²(G, 𝔽_p) counts the relations of a minimal presentation. Let G ≅ ⟨X ∣ rels⟩ be a
presentation of a group acting trivially on 𝔽_p whose relators lie in the Frattini subgroup of
the free pro-p group F on X, and let R be the closed normal closure of the relators, with
R ⧸ Rᵖ[R, F] topologically finitely generated. Then H²(G, 𝔽_p) has p ^ d(R ⧸ Rᵖ[R, F])
elements, where d is the topological generator rank.
The order of H²(G, 𝔽_p) bounds the number of relations. Let G ≅ ⟨X ∣ rels⟩ be a
presentation of a group acting trivially on 𝔽_p whose relators lie in the Frattini subgroup of
the free pro-p group F on X, and let R be the closed normal closure of the relators, with
R ⧸ Rᵖ[R, F] topologically finitely generated. Then H²(G, 𝔽_p) has at most p ^ n elements
exactly when R is generated as a closed normal subgroup of F by at most n elements.
The relation rank of a pro-p group is the dimension of H²(G, 𝔽_p), cardinal form. Let
G ≅ ⟨X ∣ rels⟩ be a presentation of a group acting trivially on 𝔽_p whose relators lie in the
Frattini subgroup of the free pro-p group F on X, and let R be the closed normal closure of
the relators. Then the dimension of H²(G, 𝔽_p) over 𝔽_p is d(R ⧸ Rᵖ[R, F]), the relation rank
of G, as an identity of cardinals and with no finiteness hypothesis: a group with infinitely many
relations has an H²(G, 𝔽_p) of infinite dimension. TauCeti.presentedProP.finrank_H2 is the
finite case.
The relation rank of a pro-p group is the dimension of H²(G, 𝔽_p). Let
G ≅ ⟨X ∣ rels⟩ be a presentation of a group acting trivially on 𝔽_p whose relators lie in the
Frattini subgroup of the free pro-p group F on X, and let R be the closed normal closure of
the relators, with R ⧸ Rᵖ[R, F] topologically finitely generated. Then H²(G, 𝔽_p) has dimension
d(R ⧸ Rᵖ[R, F]) over 𝔽_p, the least number of generators of R as a closed normal subgroup of
F. This is the finite case of TauCeti.presentedProP.lift_rank_H2.
The dimension of H²(G, 𝔽_p) bounds the number of relations. Let G ≅ ⟨X ∣ rels⟩ be a
presentation of a group acting trivially on 𝔽_p whose relators lie in the Frattini subgroup of
the free pro-p group F on X, and let R be the closed normal closure of the relators, with
R ⧸ Rᵖ[R, F] topologically finitely generated. Then H²(G, 𝔽_p) has dimension at most n over
𝔽_p exactly when R is generated as a closed normal subgroup of F by at most n elements.
Presentation independence of the finiteness of the relation rank. For two minimal
presentations G ≅ ⟨X ∣ rels⟩ and G ≅ ⟨Y ∣ rels'⟩ of the same group, with relators in the
Frattini subgroups of the free pro-p groups F on X and F' on Y and relation subgroups R
and R', the quotient R ⧸ Rᵖ[R, F] is topologically finitely generated exactly when
R' ⧸ R'ᵖ[R', F'] is: both mean that H²(G, 𝔽_p) is finite.
Presentation independence of the relation rank. For two minimal presentations
G ≅ ⟨X ∣ rels⟩ and G ≅ ⟨Y ∣ rels'⟩ of the same group, with relators in the Frattini subgroups
of the free pro-p groups F on X and F' on Y and relation subgroups R and R', the
counts d(R ⧸ Rᵖ[R, F]) and d(R' ⧸ R'ᵖ[R', F']) agree: both are the exponent of the order
p ^ r of H²(G, 𝔽_p). Finite generation of R' ⧸ R'ᵖ[R', F'] is supplied by
TauCeti.presentedProP.isTopologicallyFinitelyGenerated_quotient_pLowerCentralStep_iff.
