Abstract:
We prove two theorems linking the cohomology of a pro- group with the conjugacy classes of its finite subgroups.
The number of conjugacy classes of elementary abelian -subgroups of is finite if and only if the ring is finitely generated modulo nilpotent elements.
If the ring is finitely generated, then the number of conjugacy classes of finite subgroups of is finite.
