Certain Galois cohomology computation












1












$begingroup$


Let $L/mathbb{Q}$ be a Galois extension of degree $p$ and $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over $mathbb{Q}$. Let $p$ be a fixed prime (of good ordinary reduction if required). We use $L_infty, mathbb{Q}_infty$ as the notation for the cyclotomic $mathbb{Z}_p$-extension. Let $w|p$ be primes in $L$. We have $L_{infty,w}/ mathbb{Q}_{infty,p}$, a Galois extension and say the Galois group is denoted by $G$.



How does one one compute the Galois cohomology $H^i(G, E(L_{infty,w})_{p^infty})$ for $i=1,2$.



My understanding is that using a result of Lang and a deep result of Coates-Greenberg one can say $H^i(G, E(L_{infty,w}))=0$ for $i=1,2$. Consider the following short exact sequence
$$
0rightarrow mathcal{F}(mathfrak{m}_w) rightarrow E(L_{infty,w}) rightarrow tilde{E}(ell_w) rightarrow 0.
$$

Here $mathcal{F}(mathfrak{m}_w)$ is the corresponding formal group and $ell_w$ the residue field. $tilde{E}$ is reduction modulo $mathfrak{m}_w$. The result of Lang says $H^i(G, tilde{E}(ell_w))=0$ for $i=1,2$ and that of Coates-Greenberg says $H^i(G,mathcal{F}(mathfrak{m}_w))=0$. This implies $H^i(G, E(L_{infty,w}))=0$

    So you meant $mathbb{Q}_infty=mathbb{Q}(mu_{p^infty})^{langle sigma rangle}$ where $sigma(mu_{p^k}) = mu_{p^k}^{zeta_{p-1}bmod p^k}$ and $zeta_{p-1}$ is the primitive root in $p$-adic integers. Then what results ?

    The result I have in mind of Lang is from the paper "Algebraic groups over finite fields" and the statement I am interested in says (something to the effect) that a connected commutative algebraic group over a finite field is cohomologically trivial. I am paraphrasing what I need from a paper of Mazur, where he quotes this theorem.
