Facts
From the repository and its formalization.yaml; the review and automation statements are quoted as written.
- Repository: FormalFrontier/finite-group-tate-cohomology, read at commit c0c9d563 (2026-11-05).
- Lean toolchain v4.34.0-rc2, Mathlib at 83abb3e7.
- License: Apache-2.0.
- Authors: Formal Frontier Agents.
- Review status: “The mathematical development and checked-use clients underwent independent review on earlier pinned inputs; each release has separate exact-artifact acceptance. This metadata alone does not certify source-specific correspondence.”.
- Review notes: “Earlier development review and later component review bind distinct inputs. Exact-artifact release approval and source-specific coverage remain separate decisions, not consequences of this catalogue or metadata.”
- Reviewers: “Lattice”, “Formal Frontier agents”, “Formal Frontier independent norm-component reviewer”.
- Automation: agent; framework “OpenAI Codex CLI with Lean verification”; tool setup “Lean 4.34.0-rc2 and pinned mathlib4 with cache-first Lake builds”; prompting notes “AI-assisted Formal Frontier agents and formalization workers contributed distinct mathematical modules, norm and NatIso component interfaces, checked examples, the original mixed-kind native catalogue and later documentation adaptations. The mathematical work was Lean-checked and independently reviewed; source-specific correspondence is separate.”
- Automation notes: “Formal Frontier source maintainers retain mathematical acceptance and source correspondence responsibility; AI assistance alone establishes neither.”

Headline results
Quoted from the headline results in README.md of FormalFrontier/finite-group-tate-cohomology at commit c0c9d563, Apache-2.0.
Natural norms. For a commutative scalar ring and finite group, the norm from coinvariants to invariants is natural in the coefficient representation. For a finite normal subgroup of an arbitrary ambient group, the residual-quotient-equivariant norm is natural as well; the ambient group need not be finite or commutative. This module permits independent scalar, group and coefficient universes.
Exceptional degrees. The
exact norm sequence
Tate⁻¹ → M_G → M^G → Tate⁰ identifies degrees −1 and 0 naturally with
the norm's kernel and cokernel. Both
natural isomorphisms
(including their component identities)
are shipped, not proposed; this layer inherits the same-universe boundary
of the pinned Tate-complex API.
Fixed-element coefficient functors. For an element g of a finite
commutative group, the even
and odd
alternating N/g−1 homology models are functorial in coefficients.
This construction does not require g to generate the group.
Objectwise additive period two. With a chosen element satisfying
∀ x, x ∈ Subgroup.zpowers g, the
all-integer Tate comparisons
give period-two isomorphisms.
Same-parity comparisons
have identity, inverse and telescoping laws; these Tate comparisons are
objectwise, not claimed natural in the coefficient representation.
Hilbert's theorem 90. For a finite Galois extension L/K and a specified
automorphism generating the full Galois group, every norm-one element of L
is y / g(y) for a unit y of the original field. The
field endpoint permits independent
universes for K and L, with no characteristic or invertible-degree
assumption. It reuses Mathlib's cocycle theorem and finite-cyclic calculation.
