cohomological dimension of groups vs cohomological dimension of subgroups












0












$begingroup$


Let $Gamma$ be a group and $Gamma^prime$ a subgroup. Then, $text{cd }Gamma^prime leq text{cd } Gamma$ because a projective resolution of $mathbb{Z}$ over $mathbb{Z}Gamma$ can also be regarded as a projective resolution of $mathbb{Z}$ over $mathbb{Z}Gamma^prime$.



Now, 'Cohomology of Groups' by Brown says that if $text{cd }Gamma < infty$ and $|Gamma : Gamma^prime |< infty$ (where that denotes the index), then the equality holds.



The proof goes as follows:



It can be shown that if $text{cd} Gamma= n$, then there is a free $mathbb{Z}Gamma$ module $F$ with $H^n(Gamma,F)neq 0$. Let $F^prime$ be a free $mathbb{Z}Gamma^prime$-module of the same rank. Suppose that $Fcong bigoplus_{I} mathbb{Z}Gamma$ and $F^primecong bigoplus_{I} mathbb{Z}Gamma^prime$.



Then, $text{Ind}_{Gamma^prime}^Gamma F^prime= mathbb{Z}Gamma otimes_{mathbb{Z}Gamma^prime} F^prime cong bigoplus_{I} mathbb{Z}Gamma otimes_{mathbb{Z}Gamma^prime} mathbb{Z}Gamma^prime cong F$, so by Shapiro's Lemma, $$H^n(Gamma^prime, F^prime)cong H^n(Gamma, F)neq 0.$$ Thus, $text{cd}Gamma^prime geq n$.



The problem is that I do not see where are we using the hypothesis that $|Gamma : Gamma^prime|<infty$. Can someone help me, please?

          See here for Shapiro's lemma : it holds for induction for homology.



          For cohomology, it only holds with coinduction; but if $[Gamma :Gamma'] < infty$ then induction and coinduction coincide, so Shapiro's lemma holds in cohomology with the induced module.
