The Galois Cohomology Café
This is a discussion forum for the participants of this course.
Contents
This is an introductory course to Galois cohomology. Topics include profinite groups (topological groups, inverse/direct limits), homological algebra (abelian categories, injective/projective objects, derived functors), group cohomology (Galois cohomology, forms, Brauer groups), and if time permits local class field theory.
Prerequisites
Group theory, Rings and Modules, Galois theory of fields as covered by the algebra course last term, General topology as covered by an introductory course in topology.
