<p>According to Serre's book 'Galois cohomology', Galois chomology group are always torsion, but it seems to me that H^1(k, End_{Z_l}(T_l(A)))=coker(Frob-1) on End_{Z_l}(T_l(A)), which has the same Z_l rank as End_{k}(T_l(A)) So maybe End_{Z_l}(T_l(A)) is not a discrete galois module. And why is the Tate module a discrete galois module?</p> <p>waht are the Galois cohomology groups of the Tate module of some abelian variety over a finite field or a number field? </p>

<p>In general, if $G$ is a profinite group and $M$ a continuous discrete $G$--module, then $H^i(G,M)$ is torsion for $i>0$. This applies in particular to Galois cohomology, i.e. when $G$ is a Galois group.</p> <p>Tate modules are <em>not</em> discrete Galois modules, and their cohomology will usually not be torsion. The same goes for $\mathrm{End}(T_\ell A)$.</p> <p>Over finite or local fields the cohomology of $T_\ell A$ is more or less well understood. Not so over global fields.</p>
