Abstract

Let GG be a commutative affine algebraic group over a field FF, and let H ⁣:FieldsFAbGrpsH \colon \mathrm{Fields}_{F} \to \mathrm{AbGrps} be a functor. A (homomorphic) HH-invariant of GG is a natural transformation Tors(,G)H\mathrm{Tors}(-, G) \to H, where Tors(,G)\mathrm{Tors}(-, G) is the functor FieldsFAbGrps\mathrm{Fields}_{F} \to \mathrm{AbGrps} taking a field extension L/FL/F to the group of isomorphism classes of GLG_{L}-torsors over Spec(L)\mathrm{Spec}(L). The goal of this paper is to compute the group Invhom1(G,H)\mathrm{Inv}_{\mathrm{hom}}^{1}(G, H) of HH-invariants of GG when GG is a group of multiplicative type, and HH is the functor taking a field extension L/FL/F to L×ZQ/ZL^{\times} \otimes_{\mathbb{Z}} \mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z}.
