Bad places for the approximation property for finite groups

Publication date 1 September 2020

Abstract: Given a number field

k

and a finite

k

-group

G

, the Tame Approximation Problem for

G

asks whether the restriction map

H^{1} (k, G) o p r o d_{v i n S i g m a} H^{1} (k_{v}, G)

is surjective for every finite set of places

S i g m a s u b s e t e q O m e g a_{k}

disjoint from

e x t {B a d}_{G}

, where

e x t {B a d}_{G}

is the finite set of places that either divides the order of

G

or ramifies in the minimal extension splitting

G

. In this paper we prove that the set

e x t {B a d}_{G}

is "sharp". To achieve this we prove that there are finite abelian

k

-groups

A

where the map

H^{1} (k, A) o p r o d_{v i n S i g m a_{0}} H^{1} (k_{v}, A)

is not surjective in a set

S i g m a_{0} s u b s e t e q e x t {B a d}_{A}

with particular properties, namely

S i g m a_{0}

is the set of places that do not divide the order of

A

and ramify in the minimal extension splitting

A

.
