Let $L/K$ be a finite Galois extension with the Galois group $G$ and suppose that the induced extension of residue fields $k_L/k_K$ is separable. In his paper, Hesselholt conjectured that $H^1(G,W(\\sO_L))$ is zero, where $\\sO_L$ is the ring of integers of $L$ and $W(\\sO_L)$ is the Witt ring of $\\sO_L$ w.r.t. the prime $p$. He partially proved this conjecture for a large class of extensions. In this paper, we prove Hesselholt's conjecture for all Galois extensions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-11-15T11:54:39.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11S25" ], "keywords": [ "algebraic integers", "witt vectors", "cohomology", "residue field", "finite galois extension" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1011.3350H" } } }
