soft question- Kenneth's Brown notation at "Cohomology of finite Groups"

103 Views Asked by At

As the title indicates, my question has to do with something rather simple. So, in Kenneth's Brown book "Cohomology of finite groups" at pg.84-85 and in particular Theorem 10.3 and Proposition 10.4, there is one thing that I don' t get. Whilst, at the former for $H$ a normal $p$-Sylow subgroup of $G$ we found that the $p$-component of a $G$-module $M$ is $H^{n}(G ; M)_{(p)} \simeq H^{n}(H ; M)^{G/H}$, $\forall n > 0$, the next proposition says that if $H$ is a normal subgroup of finite index in $G$ then $H^{*}(G ; M) \simeq H^{*}(H ; M)^{G/H}$. If we assume that at the latter the group $H$ is $p$-Sylow then what's the difference between those things? Why does he change the notation? I can't see the why.

Thank you!

In Proposition 10.4 there's an extra hypothesis that $[G:H]$ is invertible in $M$, which implies that $H^n(G,M)_{(p)}=H^n(G,M)$ for $n>0$ if $H$ is a Sylow $p$-subgroup.
