Essential cohomology for elementary abelian p-groups
For an odd prime p the cohomology ring of an elementary abelian p-group is
polynomial tensor exterior. We show that the ideal of essential classes is the
Steenrod closure of the class generating the top exterior power. As a module
over the polynomial algebra, the essential ideal is free on the set of Mui
invariants.Comment: 10 page
