On Nilpotent ideals in the cohomology ring of a finite group
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we find upper bounds for the nilpotency degree of some ideals in the cohomology ring of a finite group by studying fixed point free actions of the group on suitable spaces. The ideals we study are the kernels of restriction maps to certain collections of proper subgroups. We recover the Quillen-Venkov lemma and the Quillen F-injectivity theorem as corollaries, and discuss some generalizations and further applications. We then consider the essential cohomology conjecture, and show that it is related to group actions on connected graphs. We discuss an obstruction to constructing a fixed point free action of a group on a connected graph with zero “k-invariant” and study the class related to this obstruction. It turns out that this class is a “universal essential class” for the group and controls many questions about the groups essential cohomology and tranfers from proper subgroups. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification.

ON GRADED LOCAL COHOMOLOGY MODULES DEFINED BY A PAIR OF IDEALS
Let $R = bigoplus_{n in mathbb{N}_{0}} R_{n}$ be a standardgraded ring, $M$ be a finitely generated graded $R$-module and $J$be a homogenous ideal of $R$. In this paper we study the gradedstructure of the $i$-th local cohomology module of $M$ defined by apair of ideals $(R_{+},J)$, i.e. $H^{i}_{R_{+},J}(M)$. Moreprecisely, we discuss finiteness property and vanishing of thegraded components $H^...
متن کاملLocal Cohomology with Respect to a Cohomologically Complete Intersection Pair of Ideals
Let $(R,fm,k)$ be a local Gorenstein ring of dimension $n$. Let $H_{I,J}^i(R)$ be the local cohomology with respect to a pair of ideals $I,J$ and $c$ be the $inf{i|H_{I,J}^i(R)neq0}$. A pair of ideals $I, J$ is called cohomologically complete intersection if $H_{I,J}^i(R)=0$ for all $ineq c$. It is shown that, when $H_{I,J}^i(R)=0$ for all $ineq c$, (i) a minimal injective resolution of $H_{I,...
متن کاملOn continuous cohomology of locally compact Abelian groups and bilinear maps
Let $A$ be an abelian topological group and $B$ a trivial topological $A$-module. In this paper we define the second bilinear cohomology with a trivial coefficient. We show that every abelian group can be embedded in a central extension of abelian groups with bilinear cocycle. Also we show that in the category of locally compact abelian groups a central extension with a continuous section can b...
متن کاملPrime ideals and the ideal-radical of a distributively generated near-ring
The concepts of a prime ideal of a distributively generated (d.g.) nearring R, a prime d.g. near-ring and an irreducible R-group are introduced1). The annihilating ideal of an irreducible R-group with an R-generator is a prime ideal. Consequently we define a prime ideal to be primitively prime if it is the annihilating ideal of such an R-group, and a d.g. near-ring to be a primitively prime nea...
متن کاملRing structures of mod p equivariant cohomology rings and ring homomorphisms between them
In this paper, we consider a class of connected oriented (with respect to Z/p) closed G-manifolds with a non-empty finite fixed point set, each of which is G-equivariantly formal, where G = Z/p and p is an odd prime. Using localization theorem and equivariant index, we give an explicit description of the mod p equivariant cohomology ring of such a G-manifold in terms of algebra. This makes ...
