Relation between the functors \(Hom\) and \(Tor\) over the ring of \(p\)-adic integers (Q1898529)

The author studies the behaviour of the Hom-functor in the category of topological modules and continuous homomorphisms, the compatibility with products, coproducts and limits. If the basic ring is the discrete ring of \(p\)-adic integers, \(K\) a compact module, \(K^*\) the module of characters, for any module \(A\) there is an isomorphism \(\Hom (K,A)\simeq \text{Tor} (K^*,A)\). The proof uses the generalized Pontryagin duality theorem [cf. \textit{J. Flood}, Pontryagin duality for topological modules, Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 75, No. 2, 329-333 (1979; Zbl 0418.22006)].
