Abstract
The Galois groups G=G(L|K) of Galois extensions L|K are profinite groups and we may such use cohomology theory which we have developed in the preceding chapters. We are particularly interested in the meaning of the cohomology groups H n(G,A) for extensions of local and global fields, but we first study their properties for general Galois extensions L|K.
