Finite generation of Tate cohomology. (Q2889324)

Let \(G\) be a nontrivial finite group and \(k\) be a field of characteristic \(p\). In this paper the authors propose the following conjecture: Let \(M\) be an indecomposable finitely generated \(kG\)-module such that \(H^*(G,M)\neq\{0\}\). If \(\widehat H^*(G,M)\) is finitely generated over \(\widehat H^*(G,k)\), then the support variety \(V_G(M)\) of \(M\) is equal to the entire maximal ideal spectrum \(V_G(k)\) of the group cohomology ring.NEWLINENEWLINE The authors show that if the product of any two elements of \(\widehat H^*(G,k)\) of negative degree is zero, then the conjecture holds.
