A POLYNOMIAL APPROACH TO COCYCLES OVER ELEMENTARY ABELIAN GROUPS
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 October 2008
Abstract
We derive bivariate polynomial formulae for cocycles and coboundaries in Z2(ℤpn,ℤpn), and a basis for the (pn−1−n)-dimensional GF(pn)-space of coboundaries. When p=2 we determine a basis for the -dimensional GF(2n)-space of cocycles and show that each cocycle has a unique decomposition as a direct sum of a coboundary and a multiplicative cocycle of restricted form.
