Essential cohomology for elementary Abelian \(p\)-groups. (Q734810)

Let \(p\) be a prime, \(A\) be the mod\,\(p\) Steenrod algebra and \(V\) be an elementary Abelian \(p\)-group. We denote by \[ \text{Ess}(V)=\{x\in H^*(V;\mathbb{F}_p)\mid\text{Res}_E(x)=0,\;\forall\text{ proper subgroups }E\text{ of }V\}. \] The aim of this paper is to give some properties of \(\text{Ess}(V)\), called the essential ideal, as an \(A\)-module and as a module over a polynomial subalgebra of \(H^*(V;\mathbb{F}_p)\).
