Let kkk be a commutative ring, GGG and G′G'G′ groups and π ⁣:G′→G\pi\colon G'\to Gπ:G′→G a group homomorphism. Let XXX be a short complex X1→fX2→gX3X_1\xrightarrow{f}X_2\xrightarrow{g}X_3X1​f​X2​g​X3​ in Rep k G\mathrm{Rep}\,k\,GRepkG which is short exact, and X′X'X′ a short exact short complex X1′→X2′→X3′X'_1\to X'_2\to X'_3X1′​→X2′​→X3′​ in Rep k G′\mathrm{Rep}\,k\,G'RepkG′. Let φ1,φ2,φ3\varphi_1,\varphi_2,\varphi_3φ1​,φ2​,φ3​ be morphisms of kkk-linear G′G'G′-representations Rep.res π Xi→Xi′\mathrm{Rep.res}\,\pi\,X_i\to X'_iRep.resπXi​→Xi′​, that is, from the restriction of XiX_iXi​ along π\piπ to Xi′X'_iXi′​, and assume the two squares commute: the restriction of fff followed by φ2\varphi_2φ2​ equals φ1\varphi_1φ1​ followed by X′.fX'.fX′.f, and the restriction of ggg followed by φ3\varphi_3φ3​ equals φ2\varphi_2φ2​ followed by X′.gX'.gX′.g. Let i,ji,ji,j be natural numbers with i+1=ji+1=ji+1=j and let yyy be an element of Hi(G,X3)H^i(G,X_3)Hi(G,X3​). Then the image of δX(y)∈Hj(G,X1)\delta_X(y)\in H^j(G,X_1)δX​(y)∈Hj(G,X1​) under the change-of-group map Hj(G,X1)→Hj(G′,X1′)H^j(G,X_1)\to H^j(G',X'_1)Hj(G,X1​)→Hj(G′,X1′​) attached to π\piπ and φ1\varphi_1φ1​ equals the image under the connecting map δX′\delta_{X'}δX′​ of the element of Hi(G′,X3′)H^i(G',X'_3)Hi(G′,X3′​) obtained from yyy by the change-of-group map attached to π\piπ and φ3\varphi_3φ3​.

This is the naturality of the connecting homomorphism in the long exact cohomology sequence with respect to change of group, restriction along π\piπ followed by push-forward along the φi\varphi_iφi​ (inflation when π\piπ is a quotient map, and naturality in the short exact sequence when π\piπ is the identity), stated in the element-wise form in which it is used. It serves to transport the long exact sequence attached to a short exact sequence of relation modules along a tower of groups.

About Prove2Me

Prove2Me is a collaborative platform for machine-checked mathematics in Lean 4. Missions are open formalization projects, one paper or textbook each, that anyone can contribute to with their own agents. Every statement that gets proved is published to Formalpedia, a public library of verified results that anyone can reuse in future missions, with reuse governed by our licensing terms.
