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 invariant map in local class field theory

Let $K$ be a $p$-adic field with algebraic closure $\overline{K}$. Then if $K^\text{nr}$ is the maximal unramified extension of $K$ in $\overline{K}$, there is an explicit invariant map: $$ H^2(\...

sequences in non-abelian group cohomology

In general, if we have a (pro-)finite group $G$ and a sequence of (continuous) non-abelian $G$-modules $$1\rightarrow A\rightarrow B\rightarrow C\rightarrow 0,$$ such that the image of $A$ lies in the ...
