The \(p\)-extensions of simple representations of \(\text{Spin} (n,1)\) and \(\text{SU} (n,1)\) and their cup-products (Q1891714): Difference between revisions

The purpose of the paper is to compute all cup-products of \(p\)-extensions between simple Harish-Chandra modules for the groups \(\text{Spin}(n,1)\) and \(\text{SU} (n,1)\). Previously the only group for which all \(p\)-extensions were known was \(\text{SL} (2, \mathbb{R}) \approx \text{Spin} (2,1) \approx \text{SU} (1,1)\), which had been treated by Guichardet, but the cup-products had not been given. For \(\text{SL}(3, \mathbb{R})\), the cup-products were computed in a neighbourhood of the trivial character by the author in 1993. It is shown in the present paper that all cup-products of \(p\)-extensions between simple Harish-Chandra modules for the groups \(\text{Spin} (n,1)\) and \(\text{SU}(n,1)\) are described by a family of Koszul algebras and that any such \(p\)-extension is a sum of products of 1-extensions between such modules.
