Galois Cohomology
In mathematics, Galois cohomology is the study of the group cohomology of Galois modules, that is, the application of homological algebra to modules for Galois groups. A Galois group ''G'' associated with a field extension ''L''/''K'' acts in a natural way on some abelian groups, for example those constructed directly from ''L'', but also through other Galois representations that may be derived by more abstract means. Galois cohomology accounts for the way in which taking Galois-invariant elements fails to be an exact functor. History The current theory of Galois cohomology came together around 1950, when it was realised that the Galois cohomology of ideal class groups in algebraic number theory was one way to formulate class field theory, at the time it was in the process of ridding itself of connections to L-functions. Galois cohomology makes no assumption that Galois groups are abelian groups, so this was a non-abelian theory. It was formulated abstractly as a theory of c ...

Mathematics
Mathematics is a field of study that discovers and organizes methods, Mathematical theory, theories and theorems that are developed and Mathematical proof, proved for the needs of empirical sciences and mathematics itself. There are many areas of mathematics, which include number theory (the study of numbers), algebra (the study of formulas and related structures), geometry (the study of shapes and spaces that contain them), Mathematical analysis, analysis (the study of continuous changes), and set theory (presently used as a foundation for all mathematics). Mathematics involves the description and manipulation of mathematical object, abstract objects that consist of either abstraction (mathematics), abstractions from nature orin modern mathematicspurely abstract entities that are stipulated to have certain properties, called axioms. Mathematics uses pure reason to proof (mathematics), prove properties of objects, a ''proof'' consisting of a succession of applications of in ...

Non-abelian Class Field Theory
In mathematics, non-abelian class field theory is a catchphrase, meaning the extension of the results of class field theory, the relatively complete and classical set of results on abelian extensions of any number field ''K'', to the general Galois extension ''L''/''K''. While class field theory was essentially known by 1930, the corresponding non-abelian theory has never been formulated in a definitive and accepted sense. History A presentation of class field theory in terms of group cohomology was carried out by Claude Chevalley, Emil Artin and others, mainly in the 1940s. This resulted in a formulation of the central results by means of the group cohomology of the idele class group. The theorems of the cohomological approach are independent of whether or not the Galois group ''G'' of ''L''/''K'' is abelian. This theory has never been regarded as the sought-after ''non-abelian'' theory. The first reason that can be cited for that is that it did not provide fresh information on the ...

Brauer Group
In mathematics, the Brauer group of a field ''K'' is an abelian group whose elements are Morita equivalence classes of central simple algebras over ''K'', with addition given by the tensor product of algebras. It was defined by the algebraist Richard Brauer. The Brauer group arose out of attempts to classify division algebras over a field. It can also be defined in terms of Galois cohomology. More generally, the Brauer group of a scheme is defined in terms of Azumaya algebras, or equivalently using projective bundles. Construction A central simple algebra (CSA) over a field ''K'' is a finite-dimensional associative ''K''-algebra ''A'' such that ''A'' is a simple ring and the center of ''A'' is equal to ''K''. Note that CSAs are in general ''not'' division algebras, though CSAs can be used to classify division algebras. For example, the complex numbers C form a CSA over themselves, but not over R (the center is C itself, hence too large to be CSA over R). The fi ...

Emil Artin
Emil Artin (; March 3, 1898 – December 20, 1962) was an Austrians, Austrian mathematician of Armenians, Armenian descent. Artin was one of the leading mathematicians of the twentieth century. He is best known for his work on algebraic number theory, contributing largely to class field theory and a new construction of L-functions. He also contributed to the pure theories of rings, groups and fields. Along with Emmy Noether, he is considered the founder of modern abstract algebra. Early life and education Parents Emil Artin was born in Vienna to parents Emma Maria, née Laura (stage name Clarus), a soubrette on the operetta stages of Austria and Germany, and Emil Hadochadus Maria Artin, Austrian-born of mixed Austrians, Austrian and Armenian people, Armenian descent. His Armenian last name was Artinian which was shortened to Artin. Several documents, including Emil's birth certificate, list the father's occupation as "opera singer" though others list it as "art dealer." It see ...

Emmy Noether
Amalie Emmy Noether (23 March 1882 – 14 April 1935) was a German mathematician who made many important contributions to abstract algebra. She also proved Noether's theorem, Noether's first and Noether's second theorem, second theorems, which are fundamental in mathematical physics. Noether was described by Pavel Alexandrov, Albert Einstein, Jean Dieudonné, Hermann Weyl and Norbert Wiener as the most important List of women in mathematics, woman in the history of mathematics. Transcribeonlineat the MacTutor History of Mathematics Archive. As one of the leading mathematicians of her time, she developed theories of ring (mathematics), rings, field (mathematics), fields, and algebras. In physics, Noether's theorem explains the connection between Symmetry (physics), symmetry and conservation laws. in . Noether was born to a Jewish family in the Franconian town of Erlangen; her father was the mathematician Max Noether. She originally planned to teach French and English after passin ...

Group Cohomology
In mathematics (more specifically, in homological algebra), group cohomology is a set of mathematical tools used to study groups using cohomology theory, a technique from algebraic topology. Analogous to group representations, group cohomology looks at the group actions of a group ''G'' in an associated ''G''-module ''M'' to elucidate the properties of the group. By treating the ''G''-module as a kind of topological space with elements of G^n representing ''n''- simplices, topological properties of the space may be computed, such as the set of cohomology groups H^n(G,M). The cohomology groups in turn provide insight into the structure of the group ''G'' and ''G''-module ''M'' themselves. Group cohomology plays a role in the investigation of fixed points of a group action in a module or space and the quotient module or space with respect to a group action. Group cohomology is used in the fields of abstract algebra, homological algebra, algebraic topology and algebraic number th ...

Hilbert's Theorem 90
In abstract algebra, Hilbert's Theorem 90 (or Satz 90) is an important result on cyclic extensions of field (mathematics), fields (or to one of its generalizations) that leads to Kummer theory. In its most basic form, it states that if ''L''/''K'' is an extension of fields with cyclic Galois group ''G'' = Gal(''L''/''K'') generated by an element \sigma, and if a is an element of ''L'' of relative norm 1, that isN(a):=a\, \sigma(a)\, \sigma^2(a)\cdots \sigma^(a)=1,then there exists b in ''L'' such thata=b/\sigma(b).The theorem takes its name from the fact that it is the 90th theorem in David Hilbert's Zahlbericht , although it is originally due to . Often a more general theorem due to is given the name, stating that if ''L''/''K'' is a finite Galois extension of fields with arbitrary Galois group ''G'' = Gal(''L''/''K''), then the first group cohomology, cohomology group of ''G'', with coefficients in the multiplicative group of ''L'', is trivial: :H^1(G,L^\ti ...
