How do "Kummer closures" of fields look?

Let $F$ be a field and $A$ a finite abelian group. You can ask: does the regular representation $F[A]$ of $A$ split as a direct sum of 1-dimensional representations? This is equivalent to the ...

Coboundary operators, 1-cocycles and computing cohomology

My question is about the compatibility and consistency between two definitions of cohomology in two books. I asked this question about 10 days ago on MathSE and I set a bounty on it, but I didn't ...

When is the natural map of Tate cohomology an isomorphism?

First of all I want to say that I am not at all an expert in Group cohomology . Recently I attended a seminar where the speaker mentioned about something called Tate cohomology groups which in ...

Iwasawa theory, $\mathbb{Z}_p^{2}$-extension, Greenberg module

Take $H\subset \bar{\mathbb{Q}}$ be a quartic imaginary number field such that $\operatorname{Gal}(H/\mathbb{Q})=\mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_2$. Denote by $F$ the quadratic real subfield of $H$ and ...

Furtwangler's Principal ideal theorem in number fields

Does anyone know a simple proof, using cohomological method of the fact that the verlagerung from a finite group G. to its commutator subgroup G', i.e. $$G/G'->(G')^{ab}$$ vanishes? The simplest ...

Class field towers

It is known (Golod and Shafarevich) that the class field tower of a finite extension $K$ of $\mathbb{Q}$ may be infinite. But is it always finite for $K=\mathbb{Q}[\zeta]$ where $\zeta$ is a root of ...

Galois groups and prescribed ramification

What is known about finite groups $G$ for which there exists a Galois extension $K$ of $\mathbb{Q}$ ramified only at $2$ such that $\text{Gal}(K/\mathbb{Q}) \cong G$ ? More generally, which groups can ...

transfer kernels and the Schur multiplier

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite $2$-group, and let $G$ be any subgroup of index $2$. Moreover, let Ver$: \Gamma/\Gamma' \to G/G'$ denote the group theoretical transfer, and let $M(\Gamma)$ be the Schur ...

group theoretical transfer map and its consequences

I'm trying to understand whether there is a sophisticated reason that forces the transfer map to play its role in class field theory or not. Because, at least in Neukirch's proof (at his book ANT) on ...
