Problem understanding the cup-products for the modified cohomology in David Harari's book "Galois Cohomology and Class Field Theory"

I'm recently reading the very beginning of David Harari's book Galois Cohomology and Class Field Theory, and I met a problem with the definition of cup-products for the modified cohomology. Before ...

Cohomology of local fields in positive characteristic

It is well-known from local class field theory that the Brauer group $\text{Br}(k)$ of a local field $k$ gets killed as you pass to sufficiently large extensions of $k$. In particular, $\text{Br}(L)(p)...

Local Tate duality for F-vector space

A version of local Tate duality stated: Let $K$ be a finite extension of $\mathbb Q_p$, $A$ be a finite $G_K=Gal(\overline K/K)$ module. Then for $0\le i\le 2$, the cup product induces a perfect ...

Finiteness for Galois cohomology for $\mathbb{Z}_p$-module coefficients

I am looking for a general survey on the finite generation properties of $$H^i(F,\mathbb{Z}_p(j))$$ for fields $F$. Here I refer to Galois cohomology (continuous group cohomology) and the group is ...

Essence of relations between central simple algebras and Galois cohomology in canonical morphism of class field theory

I was somewhat puzzled after I finished learning class field theory for several times. My question is about the relations between "classical simple algebras, Brauer groups" and "modern ...

A three-line proof of global class field theory?

There is an idea (I think originally due to Tate) that class field theory is fundamentally a consequence of Pontrjagin duality and Hilbert Theorem 90. I'm curious whether this can phrased using modern ...

The Tate-Nakayama theorem and inflation

Let $K$ be a nonarchimedean local field, and $L/K$ be a finite Galois extension with Galois group $G={\rm Gal}(L/K)$ of order $n=[L:K]$. By local class field theory, there is a canonical isomorphism $$...

Explicit cocycles for the first Galois cohomology of a $p$-adic torus

Let $K$ be a $p$-adic field (a finite extension of the field of $p$-adic numbers ${\mathbb Q}_p$). Let $T$ be a $K$-torus with character group $X={\sf X}^*(T)$ and cocharacter group $Y={\sf X}_*(T)=X^\...

A Kummer exact sequence involving $\mu_\infty$

Let $k$ be a number field. We have the well-known Kummer exact sequence of etale sheaves on $\mathrm{Spec}\, k$: $$1 \rightarrow \mu_n \rightarrow \mathbb{G}_m \rightarrow \mathbb{G}_m \rightarrow 1.$$...

The Teichmüller's algebraic interpretation of $H^3$ in group cohomology

In the book "Cohomology of Groups" of Kenneth S. Brown, it is told in the introduction that Teichmüller arrived to $H^3$ in an algebraic context, i.e. that Teichmüller worked with an ...

$0$-th Galois cohomology with topological Milnor K-groups coefficients

In local class field theory, the reciprocity map is constructed by using the isomorphism ${\rm Br}(F)\simeq \mathbb{Q/Z}$, where $F$ is a local field and ${\rm Br}(F)$ is its Brauer group. The ...

When does a number field have $p$-rank greater than $n$?

Consider $F/\mathbb{Q}$, a number field. Let $S$ be a finite set of primes of $F$ containing the Archimedean primes. Let $n$ be any natural number and $L_n$ be a finite extension of $F$ such that $\...

Unramified non-abelian extension and Galois cohomology

Is there an example of a finite Galois extension $E/F$ of number fields, such that $G=\mathrm{Gal}(E/F)$ is non-abelian and the order of the cohomology group $H^1(G,U_E)$ is relatively prime to class ...

Explicit $H^2(K, \mu) = Q/Z$?

In the development of local class field theory, a very fundamental theorem is that, for every local field $K$ of characteristic zero, $H^2(K, \mu) \cong \mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z}$. $(*)$ Neukirch et al. ...

Galois cohomology of the field of Laurent series

Let $k$ a separably closed field. Do we have that $k((t))$ is of cohomological dimension one?
