Algebraic groups, quadratic forms and related topics
In the early 19th century a young French mathematician E. Galois laid the foundations of abstract algebra by using the symmetries of a polynomial equation to describe the properties of its roots. One of his discoveries was a new type of structure, formed by these symmetries. This structure, now called a “group”, is central to much of modern mathematics. The groups that arise in the context of c...
متن کاملApplications of quadratic D-forms to generalized quadratic forms
In this paper, we study generalized quadratic forms over a division algebra with involution of the first kind in characteristic two. For this, we associate to every generalized quadratic from a quadratic form on its underlying vector space. It is shown that this form determines the isotropy behavior and the isometry class of generalized quadratic forms.
متن کاملProfinite Groups
γ = c0 + c1p+ c2p + · · · = (. . . c3c2c1c0)p, with ci ∈ Z, 0 ≤ ci ≤ p− 1, called the digits of γ. This ring has a topology given by a restriction of the product topology—we will see this below. The ring Zp can be viewed as Z/pZ for an ‘infinitely high’ power n. This is a useful idea, for example, in the study of Diophantine equations: if such an equation has a solution in the integers, then it...
متن کاملCohomology of Profinite Groups
A directed set I is a partially ordered set such that for all i, j ∈ I there exists a k ∈ I such that k ≥ i and k ≥ j. An inverse system of groups is a collection of groups {Gi} indexed by a directed set I together with group homomorphisms πij : Gi −→ Gj whenever i ≥ j such that πii = idGi and πjk ◦ πij = πik. Let H be a group. We call a family of homomorphisms {ψi : H −→ Gi : i ∈ I} compatible...
متن کاملCohomology of Profinite Groups
The aim of this thesis is to study profinite groups of type FPn. These are groups G which admit a projective resolution P of Ẑ as a ẐJGK-module such that P0, . . . , Pn are finitely generated, so this property can be studied using the tools of profinite group cohomology. In studying profinite groups it is often useful to consider their cohomology groups with profinite coefficients, but pre-exis...
