Duality for higher local fields after Kato and Suzuki
Abstract
A field is -local if there exist fields with complete discrete valuation with residue field , and finite of characteristic . By work of Deninger and Wingberg, the Galois cohomology of such fields with finite coefficients satisfies a duality generalizing Tate duality when either , or the coefficients have no -torsion. Reviewing and synthesizing results of Suzuki and Kato, we obtain -torsion duality statements under the weaker assumption that either or , as well as for varieties over , where duality is stated in terms of locally compact Hausdorff topologies on the \'etale cohomology groups. More generally we obtain results for any perfect , endowing the totally unramified cohomology groups of with the structure of ind-pro-quasi-algebraic -groups.
