What is known about the cohomological dimension of algebraic number fields?

By definition, an algebraic number field is a finite extension of the field of rational numbers $\Bbb Q$. An algebraic number field $K$ is called totally imaginary if it has no embeddings into $\B …

Infiniteness of the Galois cohomology over a number field with coefficients in a finite Galo...

Let $k$ be a number field and $M$ be a nonzero finite discrete $\mathrm{Gal}(\bar k/k)$-module. Is it true that $H^1(k,M)$ is infinite? This would complete the answer of Daniel Loughran. There is a c …

A Galois extension over $\mathbb{Q}$ with Galois group $A_4$ and with cyclic decomposition g...

Does there exist a Galois extension $L/\mathbb{Q}$ with Galois group $A_4$ (the alternating group on four letters) such that all the decomposition groups are cyclic? This question is motivated by the …

Forms of ${\rm SL}(2)$

I know all real forms of ${\rm SL}(2,{\Bbb C}$). They are ${\rm SL}(2,{\Bbb R})$ and ${\rm SU}(2)$. Moreover, ${\rm SL}(2,{\Bbb R})$ is isomorphic to ${\rm SU}(1,1)$. Thus I can say that all real fo …

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^ …

The second Tate-Shafarevich group of a permutation module is trivial

We write $G_w={\rm Gal}(L_w/K_v)$. Definition. For $n\ge 1$, we denote $$Ш_\omega^n(G,M)=\ker\Big(H^n(G,M)\to\prod_C H^n(C,M)\Big)$$ where $C$ runs over the cyclic subgroups of $G$. Remark. $Ш^2(L …

Hilbert's Satz 90 for real simply-connected groups?

In addition to the answer of Gro-Tsen: Let $G=\operatorname{SU}(3)$. Then $H^1({\mathbb R},G)$ classifies matrices of Hermitian forms in 3 variables with determinant 1. There are two equivalence class …

Computer programs for decomposition groups?

There is quite a lot of work on computing Galois groups of splitting fields of polynomials over $\Bbb Q$. Magma is quite good at it. In this answer to Decomposition groups for the Galois module $\mu_8 …

Non-commuting elements of finite orders in a reductive group over a p-adic field

Let $k$ be a $p$-adic field and $G$ be a connected non-abelian reductive algebraic group over $k$. I am asking for a proof of the following lemma: Lemma. Assuming that $p$ is "good" for $G$, there ex …

Hasse principle for rational times square

No, in general the Hasse principle for the property of being a rational number times a square does not hold. I consider the question in the form of GH from MO. I give a counter-example with a non-norm …

Multiplication law in a division algebra of dimension 9 over a non-archimedean local field

Let $k$ be a non-archimedean local field, for example, a $p$-adic field (a finite extension of the filed ${\Bbb Q}_p$ of $p$-adic numbers). It is well known that there is a canonical isomorphism $${\r …

Algebraic integer with conjugates on the unit circle

Let $\alpha$ be an algebraic integer on the unit circle in $\mathbb{C}$ such that all the conjugates of $\alpha$ lie on the unit circle. Does it follow that $\alpha$ is a root of unity?
