Hilbert's Theorem 90

In abstract algebra, Hilbert's Theorem 90 (or Satz 90) is an important result on cyclic extensions of fields (or to one of its generalizations) that leads to Kummer theory. In its most basic form, it states that if L/K is an extension of fields with cyclic Galois group G = Gal(L/K) generated by an element $$\sigma,$$ and if $$a$$ is an element of L of relative norm 1, that is"$N(a):=a\, \sigma(a)\, \sigma^2(a)\cdots \sigma^{n-1}(a)=1,$"then there exists $$b$$ in L such that"$a=b/\sigma(b).$"The theorem takes its name from the fact that it is the 90th theorem in David Hilbert's Zahlbericht, although it is originally due to.

Often a more general theorem due to is given the name, stating that if L/K is a finite Galois extension of fields with arbitrary Galois group G = Gal(L/K), then the first cohomology group of G, with coefficients in the multiplicative group of L, is trivial:

 * $$H^1(G,L^\times)=\{1\}.$$

Examples
Let $$L/K$$ be the quadratic extension $$\Q(i)/\Q$$. The Galois group is cyclic of order 2, its generator $$\sigma$$ acting via conjugation:

 * $$ \sigma: c + di\mapsto c - di.$$

An element $$a=x+yi$$ in $$\Q(i)$$ has norm $$a\sigma(a)=x^2+y^2$$. An element of norm one thus corresponds to a rational solution of the equation $$x^2+y^2=1$$ or in other words, a point with rational coordinates on the unit circle. Hilbert's Theorem 90 then states that every such element a of norm one can be written as

 * $$ a=\frac{c-di}{c+di}=\frac{c^2-d^2}{c^2+d^2} - \frac{2cd}{c^2+d^2} i,$$

where $$b = c+di$$ is as in the conclusion of the theorem, and c and d are both integers. This may be viewed as a rational parametrization of the rational points on the unit circle. Rational points $$(x,y)=(p/r,q/r)$$ on the unit circle $$x^2+y^2=1$$ correspond to Pythagorean triples, i.e. triples $$(p,q,r)$$ of integers satisfying $$p^2+q^2=r^2$$.

Cohomology
The theorem can be stated in terms of group cohomology: if L× is the multiplicative group of any (not necessarily finite) Galois extension L of a field K with corresponding Galois group G, then

 * $$H^1(G,L^\times)=\{1\}.$$

Specifically, group cohomology is the cohomology of the complex whose i-cochains are arbitrary functions from i-tuples of group elements to the multiplicative coefficient group, $$C^i(G,L^\times) = \{\phi:G^i\to L^\times\}$$, with differentials $$d^i : C^i\to C^{i+1}$$ defined in dimensions $$i = 0,1$$ by: $$(d^0(b))(\sigma) = b / b^\sigma, \quad \text{ and } \quad (d^1(\phi))(\sigma,\tau) \,=\,\phi(\sigma) \phi(\tau)^\sigma / \phi(\sigma\tau), $$ where $$x^g$$ denotes the image of the $$G$$-module element $$x$$ under the action of the group element $$g \in G$$. Note that in the first of these we have identified a 0-cochain $$\gamma = \gamma_b : G^0 = id_G \to L^\times$$, with its unique image value $$b \in L^\times$$. The triviality of the first cohomology group is then equivalent to the 1-cocycles $$Z^1$$ being equal to the 1-coboundaries $$B^1$$, viz.: $$\begin{array}{rcl} Z^1 &=& \ker d^1 &=& \{\phi\in C^1\text{ satisfying }\,\,\forall \sigma, \tau \in G \, \colon\,\, \phi(\sigma\tau) = \phi(\sigma)\,\phi(\tau)^\sigma \} \\ \text{ is equal to }\\ B^1 &=& \text{im } d^0 &=& \{\phi\in C^1\ \, \colon \,\, \exists\, b\in L^\times \text{ such that } \phi(\sigma)=b / b^\sigma \ \ \forall \sigma \in G \}. \end{array}$$ For cyclic $$G =\{1,\sigma,\ldots,\sigma^{n-1}\}$$, a 1-cocycle is determined by $$\phi(\sigma)=a\in L^\times $$, with $$\phi(\sigma^i) = a\,\sigma(a)\cdots\sigma^{i-1}(a)$$ and:"$1=\phi(1)=\phi(\sigma^n)=a\,\sigma(a)\cdots\sigma^{n-1}(a)=N(a).$"On the other hand, a 1-coboundary is determined by $$\phi(\sigma)=b / b^\sigma $$. Equating these gives the original version of the Theorem.

A further generalization is to cohomology with non-abelian coefficients: that if H is either the general or special linear group over L, including $$\operatorname{GL}_1(L)=L^\times$$, then "$H^1(G,H)=\{1\}.$"Another generalization is to a scheme X:

 * $$H^1_{\text{et}}(X,\mathbb{G}_m) = H^1(X,\mathcal{O}_X^\times) = \operatorname{Pic}(X),$$

where $$\operatorname{Pic}(X)$$ is the group of isomorphism classes of locally free sheaves of $$\mathcal{O}_X^\times$$-modules of rank 1 for the Zariski topology, and $$\mathbb{G}_m$$ is the sheaf defined by the affine line without the origin considered as a group under multiplication.

There is yet another generalization to Milnor K-theory which plays a role in Voevodsky's proof of the Milnor conjecture.

Proof
Let $$L/K$$ be cyclic of degree $$n,$$ and $$\sigma$$ generate $$\operatorname{Gal}(L/K)$$. Pick any $$a\in L$$ of norm

 * $$N(a):=a \sigma(a) \sigma^2(a)\cdots \sigma^{n-1}(a)=1.$$

By clearing denominators, solving $$a=x/\sigma^{-1}(x) \in L$$ is the same as showing that $$a\sigma^{-1}(\cdot) : L \to L$$ has $$1$$ as an eigenvalue. We extend this to a map of $$L$$-vector spaces via

 * $$\begin{cases} 1_L\otimes a\sigma^{-1}(\cdot) : L\otimes_KL \to L\otimes_K L \\ \ell \otimes\ell'\mapsto \ell\otimes a\sigma^{-1}(\ell').\end{cases}$$

The primitive element theorem gives $$L=K(\alpha)$$ for some $$\alpha$$. Since $$\alpha$$ has minimal polynomial

 * $$f(t)=(t-\alpha)(t-\sigma(\alpha))\cdots \left (t-\sigma^{n-1}(\alpha) \right ) \in K[t],$$

we can identify

 * $$L\otimes_KL\stackrel{\sim}{\to} L\otimes_K K[t] /f(t) \stackrel{\sim}{\to} L[t]/f(t) \stackrel{\sim}{\to} L^{n}$$

via

 * $$\ell\otimes p(\alpha) \mapsto \ell \left (p(\alpha), p(\sigma \alpha ),\ldots, p(\sigma^{n-1} \alpha ) \right ).$$

Here we wrote the second factor as a $$K$$-polynomial in $$\alpha$$.

Under this identification, our map becomes

 * $$\begin{cases} a\sigma^{-1}(\cdot) : L^n\to L^n \\ \ell \left(p(\alpha),\ldots, p(\sigma^{n-1}\alpha)) \mapsto \ell(ap(\sigma^{n-1}\alpha), \sigma a p(\alpha), \ldots, \sigma^{n-1} a p(\sigma^{n-2}\alpha) \right ). \end{cases}$$

That is to say under this map

 * $$(\ell_1, \ldots ,\ell_n)\mapsto (a \ell_n, \sigma a \ell_1, \ldots, \sigma^{n-1} a \ell_{n-1}).$$

$$ (1, \sigma a, \sigma a \sigma^2 a, \ldots, \sigma a \cdots \sigma^{n-1}a)$$ is an eigenvector with eigenvalue $$1$$ iff $$a$$ has norm $$1$$.

Thus, we may choose $$x=1+ \sigma a+ \sigma a \sigma^2 a+ \ldots+ \sigma a \cdots \sigma^{n-1}a$$.

Talk:Hippodrome of Constantinople

comment
Regarding the four bronze horses of the Hippodrome of Konstantinople, the story goes back to 396 BC when the Spartan princess Kyniska, daughter of King Archidamos 2nd and also sister of the later Spartan King Agisilaos 2nd, participated at the Olympic races competition with a "tethrippon arma" (four-horses chariot) which she prepared,trained and became the first female Olympic winner (according to the Olympic rules there was a prohibition for a female participation during the competitions in Olympia, but for the chariot races as an Olympic winner was considered and awarded the owner of the horses and not the charioteer). Kyniska participated and became an Olympic winner again in the chariot race of the next Olympiade in 392 BC. In order to express her gratitude to the God for these wins, she ordered the construction of the statues of her horses in bronze and devoted them to the Temple of Zeus in Olympia. These masterpieces remained there for many centuries until after the ban of the Olympics,as a consequence of the expansion of the new religion in the East Roman Empire, they were transported to decorate the Hippodrome of Konstantinople.Later on they were looted and sent to Venice (1204).

The description of the panoramic photo is incorrect. The photo is actually taken looking straight east with Hagia Sophia (Ayasofia) to the left and the Blue Mosque (Sultan Ahmet Cammi) to the far right. You cannot see the Hippodrome from this photo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wmilsten (talk • contribs) 03:30, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Roman/Byzantine
Ghepeu, just to explain my edits regarding which empire this belongs to ...

Obviously all articles should attempt to be as accessible as possible to the novice reader. The fact is that this structure was built during the "Roman" period, not the "Byzantine" period. So if your argument is that only one of these historiograpical names should be used it is most proper to refer to the Roman period since that will be clearest to the novice and is most consistent with historiographical terminology (and is not incorrect since, obviously, the "Byzantine" Empire was just a later stage of the "Roman" Empire). Personally I would still prefer to mention both the way I edited it the first time since I think it is clearer but leaving out "Roman" is certainly wrong.

Hippodrome of Constantinople → Sultanahmet square — Current name of the square had been changed for quite sometime. It was not used as a Hippodrome for forever as the article explains.

 * The Hippodrome of Constantinople and the Sultanahmet Square are not the same thing. Sultanahmet Square indeed encompasses the area on which the Hippodrome once stood, but it also encompasses other historic structures, such as the Blue Mosque, the Hagia Sophia and the Ibrahim Pasha Palace, as well as the Governorship of Istanbul building. The Hippodrome deserves its specific (and separate) article, just like the other buildings on this public square. Flavius Belisarius 20:42, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Obelisk condition
I just saw the obelisk last month. It was in mint condition after 3,500 years. I just assumed that the government had copied it and put up a restored version. Wrong! The article remarks on this. Does anyone have any idea why in the world an obelisk that old is in such good shape? I realize that they don't get a whole lot of rain in the area, but it does rain. And after that length of time....It is one of the oldest man-made objects I have seen! Student7 02:58, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
 * The government has been investing a lot into the upkeep lately, see images on the Commons of the Serpent Column before and after restoration, you'd barely recognise it again. Gryffindor  15:19, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

As far as I know, Ottomans reused many parts of Hippodrome in their buildings. For example, several astonishingly well finished stone columns are located in Topkapi palace. Though, one Turkish museum guide there took that point of wiew as an insult against all Turks. Well... like the bronze serpent or the obelisk could not be an evidence of arts and building parts recycling throughout the history. Hope all Turkish students don´t look the history through glasses of nationalism. BW: Why don´t whole academic word use latin and creek names properly?

Sultanamet square and Hippodrome
All the maps of Old Istanbul distinguish 'hipodrom' and 'Sultanamet meydan'. It is not correct to name the Hippodrome area Sultanamet square. Each of them have different historical monuments. Please modify this, no consensus as mentioned is not a correct reason. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nura 25 (talk • contribs) 09:35, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

The ‘Latins’
The article talks about the ‘Latins’ stripping one of the columns in the Hippodrome during the crusades. I’m assuming it’s referring to Catholic crusaders (drawn from all across Western Europe) rather than people who actually speak Latin, ancient Romans or Italians? Cunobeline (talk) 18:17, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

Name (and scope) of the article
Per the old WP:RM above (see "Request move" from 2007) and another comment by an IP above (see "Sultanamet square and Hippodrome" section), the name "Sultanahamet Square" is by no means clearly appropriate here and this move in 2021 should have gone through a fresh WP:RM instead. I have bold-moved it back to the original title, but given the length of time that has elapsed this could of course be a WP:RM of its own. Just to further explain the problem: This is just a longer explanation of my edit summary here. Again, it does not preclude deciding this through a WP:RM instead. R Prazeres (talk) 19:00, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Sultanahmet Square does not refer exclusively to the former site of the Hippodrome: there are plenty of guidebooks and other sources (e.g., ) that identify the nearby public square between Hagia Sophia and the Sultanahmet Mosque, which is not part of the Hippdrome, as Sultanahmet Square. So this direct equivalence between modern Sultanahmet Square and the historic Hippodrome isn't even supported by WP:RS either in the article or outside it.
 * The location's significance from a global perspective is as the site of the former Hippodrome; you can find many WP:RS in English that discuss the Hippodrome at length, whereas the same is not true of "Sultanahmet Square".
 * The article, as is, is clearly about the historic Hippodrome. I see no problem, in principle, in extending its content to also talk about the modern square; in fact, I encourage it, as the site has been in continuous use even if its function has changed. But that does not justify moving the name first while leaving the content unchanged.
 * PS: Similarly, I don't think the "of Constantinople" part of the name is necessarily required in the long-term; it could easily be "Hippodrome, Istanbul" or something like that if the article were to cover more of the Ottoman and modern era.

Spellbound (Paula Abdul album)

Spellbound is the second studio album by American singer Paula Abdul, released in May 1991. The album was an international success and spawned major radio hits with the singles "Rush Rush", "The Promise of a New Day", "Blowing Kisses in the Wind", "Vibeology" and "Will You Marry Me?". The album went triple platinum in the United States and peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. In addition, the album featured a song written and produced by Prince called “U”.

Spellbound won a Grammy Award for Best Recording Package. The album art was art directed by Melanie Nissen, designed by Inge Schaap, and lettered by Margo Chase.

Critical reception
Writing for Entertainment Weekly, David Browne gave the album a C+ and remarked that its overproduction only highlights Abdul's limitations as a singer. In a retrospective review for Slant Magazine, Eric Henderson gave the album four out of five stars. He commented that, despite being uneven, the album makes Abdul "sound like a human being". In 2003, Slant Magazine included Spellbound in its list of "50 Essential Pop Albums".

Commercial performance
The album debuted at number five on the Billboard 200 in its first week and rose four spots to number one the following week. It stayed at the summit for two consecutive weeks, selling 88,000 and 89,000 units respectively. The album distinguished itself by becoming the lowest selling number-one album in the Nielsen SoundScan era at the time of its release—a distinction it held until 2004, when Outkast's Speakerboxxx/The Love Below sold 86,000 copies while at number one. This was primarily due to the newly implemented SoundScan tracking system, which had not been implemented into every major music chain, thus sales were not entirely accurate. Nevertheless, the album became a best-seller and emerged as the best selling album for the month of June, spending 16 weeks within the top 10, and was certified three-times platinum by the RIAA in January 1992. Overall, the album spent 70 weeks on the Billboard 200 chart and was ranked as the 18th best-charting of the year 1991 (and 40th best-charting of the year 1992).

Shatarupa

Shatarupa (शतरूपा) is the daughter of the creator deity, Brahma. According to Brahma Purana, Shatarupa is regarded as the first woman to be created by Brahma, marrying Manu, the first man. Their descendants are called manushya, the Sanskrit term for mankind.

Literature
The Bhagavata Purana mentions the birth of Shatarupa, and her marriage to Manu:"'While he was thus absorbed in contemplation and was observing the supernatural power, two other forms were generated from his body. They are still celebrated as the body of Brahmā.'" "'The two newly separated bodies united together in a sexual relationship.'" "'Out of them, the one who had the male form became known as the Manu named Svāyambhuva, and the woman became known as Śatarūpā, the queen of the great soul Manu.'"

In other texts, it is the manasaputra, the mind-born children of Brahma, who are believed to have created the first man, Svayambhuva Manu, and the first woman, Shatarupa.

Shatarupa marries Svayambhuva, and the couple had five children — two sons, Priyavrata and Uttānapāda, and three daughters, Ākūti, Devahūti, and Prasuti. Manu handed over his first daughter Ākūti to the sage Ruci, the middle daughter, Devahūti, to the Prajapati Kardama, and the youngest, Prasūti, to Daksha.

I hope that this is the right place to put this.

You're welcome for the Kangal photo. I don't have photos of any other breeds besides Kangal dogs, sorry. I own two Kangal dogs, both of which are offspring of Eti, the dog in the photograph.

I looked at your dog project page. Regarding the Kangal vs. Anatolian Shepherd dispute, you're not going to get the two groups to agree on an answer. The ASD people think that the Kangal, Akbash, and Anatolian Shepherd dogs are all the same breed. They're wrong, but I don't argue about it, as more informed people than I have tried and failed to convince them of the error of their ways.

If you'd just like a layman's summary of the difference between the three breeds, it's this: Kangal and Akbash dogs breed true to type. The ASD standard, OTOH, allows all colors and coats. There are more subtle differences, but that's the Big Obvious One.

Dogs and All About Them by Robert Leighton
Dear Trysha,

You are correct about the source of the material. It is indeed a copy of Robert's book. However it is a legal, edited version of a public domain work. I thought it would be useful as a wiki link as each chapter was breed specific. However I accept your decision, but you should have asked me to help you remove the links! I know how long it took to put them there in the first place.

Kind Regards,

Jane

Bug (dog breed)
Trysha, please be more careful when slapping destructive sticker, like you did with Bug (dog breed). In such cases at least three things are to be done (1) check contributors; (2) check "what links here" (3) try google.

I also suspected that this is a hoa, but after checking web, where indeed these usages are mentioned, I decided to leave the issue to experts by posting questions at relevant article talk pages. You could have easily detected this by checking "what links there". I am well aware that this may well be a joke breed, coined for fun. But still the last word is for experts. At least I would expect an answer on one of the talk pages: this is bullshit, rather than silent deletion. Beleive me, I can delete pages very well. mikka (t) 05:06, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

Dogs and their skin
Hi, I thought that the many tears rescue centre was very rare as it deals almost exclusivly with puppy farm dogs. The other rescue centre which I visited was full of ex-pets which had fallen on hard times.

Also do you think the skin condition of westies from puppy farms should be added to the puppy farm page to give an example of the poor medical care given to dogs on the farms ?

Your report on WP:AN/I
You should probably place it on requests for page protection. No need to remove it from AN/I as the same folks look at both pages, but it should properly be located at the protection requests page. Thanks · Katefan0(scribble)/ mrp 20:12, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Welcome to the Wikipedia
Welcome, newcomer!

Here are some useful tips to ease you into the Wikipedia experience:

 * First, take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial, and perhaps dabble a bit in the test area.
 * When you have some free time, take a look at the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines. They can come in very handy!
 * Remember to use a neutral point of view!
 * If you need any help, feel free to post a question at the Help Desk
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Also, here are some odds and ends that I find useful from time to time:

 * Policy Library
 * Utilities
 * Cite your sources
 * Verifiability
 * Wikiquette
 * Civility
 * Conflict resolution
 * Brilliant prose
 * Pages needing attention
 * Peer review
 * Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense
 * Village pump
 * Boilerplate text

Feel free to ask me anything the links and talk pages don't answer. You can most easily reach me by posting on my talk page.

You can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes, likes this: ~~~~.

Best of luck, and have fun!

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Classic. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Classic~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:08, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 11:38, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Image
Hi. Can you please provide a source for Image:Cormega.jpg and information about what license it's released under? You also need to add an image copyright tag to its image description page. I have to say that it looks to me like you've violated someone's copyright by uploading this photo, in which case you need to list it for deletion. If you have permission to use it then that's great, but you need to supply the details of this permission if we're to keep the image. Thanks. — Trilobite (Talk) 20:19, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Vandalism
Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. --Fil e  Éireann 23:12, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
