%0 Journal Article %T Duality and Local Group Cohomology %A Paul Hewitt %J Mathematics %D 1997 %I arXiv %X Recently, Meierfrankenfeld has published three theorems on the cohomology of a finitary module. They cover the local determination of complete reducibility; the local splitting of group extensions; and the representation of locally split extensions in the double dual. In this note we derive all three by combining a certain duality between homology and cohomology with the continuity of homology. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/math/9703202v1
