On cohomology of locally profinite sets
Ko Aoki
Abstract
We construct a locally profinite set of cardinality $\aleph_ω$ with infinitely many first cohomology classes of which any distinct finite product does not vanish. Building on this, we construct the first example of a nondescendable faithfully flat map between commutative rings of cardinality $\aleph_ω$ within Zermelo--Fraenkel set theory.
