Homotopy formulas for cyclic groups acting on rings

Group Theory 2010-03-25 v1 Rings and Algebras

Abstract

The positive cohomology groups of a finite group acting on a ring vanish when the ring has a norm-one element. In this note we give explicit homotopies on the level of cochains when the group is cyclic, which allows us to express any cocycle of a cyclic group as the coboundary of an explicit cochain. The formulas in this note are closely related to the effective problems considered in previous joint work with Eli Aljadeff.
