On the galois module structure of semisimple holomorphic differentials

Abstract

LetL/K be a finite Galoisp-extension of algebraic function fields of one variable over an algebraically closed fieldk of characteristicp, with Galois groupG=Gal(L/K). The space ΏLs(0) of semisimple holomorphic differentials ofL is thek-vector space of holomorphic differentials which are fixed by the Cartier operator. We obtain the isomorphism classes and multiplicities of the summands in a Krull-Schmidt decomposition of thek[G]-module ΏLs(0) into a direct sum of indecomposablek[G]-modules.
