A Note on Galois Cohomology Groups of Algebraic Tori

Abstract

Let k be a complete field of characteristic 0 whose topology is defined by a discrete valuation and let T be an algebraic torus of dimension d defined over k. As is well known, T has a splitting field K which is a finite Galois extension of k with Galois group . For a ring R, denote by TR the subgroup of R-rational points of T. Then TK and T0K, DK being a valuation ring of K, become -modules in the usual manner.
