Depth-essential cohomology



This page and its corresponding link will only appear if the cohomology ring is not Cohen-Macaulay, that is, if the Krull dimension of the cohomology ring does not equal its depth. In this page we define the depth-essential cohomology of the group, we list centralizers of the elementary abelian subgroups whose ranks exceed the depth of the cohomology ring by one, we provide generators for the depth-essential cohomology, we give the dimension of its annihilator, and we also provide some information about the space generated by the images of the transfers from these centralizers.



DEss(G) is the depth-essential cohomology of G, it is the intersection of kernels of the restrictions to the centralizers of the elementary abelian p-subgroups whose rank is one more than the depth of the cohomology ring of the group
There is only one conjugacy class of subgroups which are centralizers of elementary abelian subgroups of such a rank.
The intersection of the images of transfers from these centralizers is denoted by DI


Centralizer C number 1
Generators: g2 g3 g4 , g3


DEss(G) is the ideal of P generated by: z
The annihilator of DEss(G) has dimension 1
Let Q be the subring Q of P generated by: w
Then DEss(G) is a free module over Q generated by: z , zy
The ideal DI is the image of the transfer from the unique centralizer
