Tate Module

In mathematics, a Tate module of an abelian group, named for John Tate, is a module constructed from an abelian group A. Often, this construction is made in the following situation: G is a commutative group scheme over a field K, Ks is the separable closure of K, and A = G(Ks) (the Ks-valued points of G). In this case, the Tate module of A is equipped with an action of the absolute Galois group of K, and it is referred to as the Tate module of G.

Famous quotes containing the word tate:

    What a cheerful rhyme! Clean not mean!
    Been not seen! Not tired—expired!
    We must now decide about place.
    We decide that place is the big weeping face
    And the other abstract lace of the race.
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)
