Continuous Group Cohomology and Ext-Groups

Abstract: We prove that the continuous group cohomology groups of a locally profinite group

G

with coefficients in a smooth

k

-representation

p i

of

G

are isomorphic to the

m a t h r m E x t

-groups

m a t h r m {E x t}_{G}^{i} (m a t h b b 1, p i)

computed in the category of smooth

k

-representations of

G

. We apply this to show that if

p i

is a supersingular

o v e r l i n e {m a t h b b F}_{p}

-representation of

m a t h r m {G L}_{2} (m a t h b b Q_{p})

, then the continuous group cohomology of

m a t h r m {S L}_{2} (m a t h b b Q_{p})

with values in

p i

vanishes. Furthermore, we prove that the continuous group cohomology groups of a

p

-adic reductive group

G

, with coefficients in an admissible unitary

m a t h b b Q_{p}

-Banach space representation

P i

, are finite dimensional. We show that the continuous group cohomology of

m a t h r m {S L}_{2} (m a t h b b Q_{p})

with values in non-ordinary irreducible

m a t h b b Q_{p}

-Banach space representations of

m a t h r m {G L}_{2} (m a t h b b Q_{p})

vanishes.
