Suppose, further, that $p$ is a prime such that $G$ fails to contain any subgroups isomorphic to $C_{p^\\infty}$. We show that if $G$ is nilpotent, then the pro-$p$ completion map $G\\to \\hat{G}_p$ induces an isomorphism $H^\\ast(\\hat{G}_p,M)\\to H^\\ast(G,M)$ for any discrete $\\hat{G}_p$-module $M$ of finite $p$-power order. For the general case, we prove that $G$ contains a normal subgroup $N$ of finite index such that the map $H^\\ast(\\hat{N}_p,M)\\to H^\\ast(N,M)$ is an isomorphism for any discrete $\\hat{N}_p$-module $M$ of finite $p$-power order. Moreover, if $G$ lacks any $C_{p^\\infty}$-sections, the subgroup $N$ enjoys some additional special properties with respect to its pro-$p$ topology.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2012-01-13T20:17:40.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20F16", "20E18", "20F18" ], "keywords": [ "solvable group", "profinite topologies", "finite rank", "power order", "cohomology" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1103.1610L" } } }
