Increasing the Size of Tame Shafarevich Groups
Abstract
Let be a number field with a finite set of primes. We study the cohomology of -modules , in particular the Shafarevich groups for for tame sets , i.e., for sets that contain no primes above . When contains all primes above (the ``wild'' setting), it is a consequence of global Poitou-Tate duality that is non-increasing as increases. The same applies when is replaced by its maximal pro- quotient . In [4] it was shown that for tame and with trivial action, the group can increase as increases to , and even attain its maximal dimension, , for carefully chosen . We strengthen this to general -modules where is tame. We use Liu's definition [7] of to show that and that there exist infinitely many tame sets of primes of such that .
