Odd-dimensional Cohomology with Finite Coefficients and Roots of Unity
نویسنده
چکیده
We prove that the triviality of the Galois action on the suitably twisted odd-dimensional étale cohomogy group with finite coefficients of an absolutely irreducible smooth projective variety implies the existence of certain primitive roots of unity in the field of definition of the variety. This text was inspired by an exercise in Serre’s Lectures on the Mordell–Weil theorem.

Ring 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 ...
متن کاملNONCOMMUTATIVE COHOMOLOGY AND ELECTROMAGNETISM ON Cq[SL2] AT ROOTS OF UNITY
Abstract We compute the noncommutative de Rham cohomology for the finitedimensional q-deformed coordinate ring Cq[SL2] at odd roots of unity and with its standard 4-dimensional differential structure. We find that H1 and H3 have three additional modes beyond the generic q-case where they are 1-dimensional, while H2 has six additional modes. We solve the spin-0 and Maxwell theory on Cq[SL2] incl...
متن کاملGalois Extensions of Lubin-tate Spectra
Let En be the n-th Lubin-Tate spectrum at a prime p. There is a commutative S-algebra E n whose coefficients are built from the coefficients of En and contain all roots of unity whose order is not divisible by p. For odd primes p we show that E n does not have any non-trivial connected finite Galois extensions and is thus separably closed in the sense of Rognes. At the prime 2 we prove that the...
متن کاملHeights of roots of polynomials with odd coefficients
We show that the height of a non-zero non root of unity α which is the zero of a polynomial with all odd coefficients of degree n satisfies h(α) ≥ 0.4278 n+ 1 . More generally we obtain bounds when the coefficients are all congruent to 1 modulo m for some m ≥ 2.
متن کاملGalois Cohomology of Fields without Roots of Unity
There is a standard correspondence between elements of the cohomology group H(F, μn) (with the trivial action of ΓF = Gal(Fs/F ) on μn) and cyclic extensions of dimension n over F . We extend this to a correspondence between the cohomology groups H(F, μn) where the action of ΓF on μn varies, and the extensions of dimension n of K which are Galois over F , where K = F [μn] and [K :F ] is prime t...
