Let $G$ and $H$ be abelian groups. By an alternating form, I mean a bilinear function $A\colon G\times G\to H$ such that $A(x,x)=0$ for all $x\in G$. Question. If $A\colon G\times G\to H$ is an ...

Trivial Tate modules

Let $A$ be an abelian group, and $p$ a prime. I'll call $$T_p(A) := \text{Hom}_{\mathbf{Z}}(\mathbf{Q}_{p}/\mathbf{Z}_{p}, A).$$ If $A$ is finite, then $T_p(A)$ is trivial, but the converse is not ...
