Bull London Math. Soc, 4 (1972), 370–372.The proof of the theorem contains an error. Before giving a correct proof, we state two lemmas.LEMMA 1. Let K/k be a cyclic Galois extension of degree m, let σ generate Gal (K/k), and let (A, I, θ) be defined over K. Suppose that there exists an isomorphism λ:(A,I,θ) → (Aσ, Iσ, θσ) over K such that vλσm−1…λσλ = 1, where v is the canonical isomorphism (Aσm, Iσm, θσm) → (A, I, θ). Then (A, I, θ) has a model over k, which becomes isomorphic to (A, I, θ) over K.Proof. This follows easily from [7], as is essentially explained on p. 371.LEMMA 2. Let G be an abelian pro-finite group and let Φ : G → Q/Z be a continuous character of G whose image has order p. Then either:(a) there exist subgroups G′ and H of G such that H is cyclic of order pmfor some m, Φ(G′) = 0, and G = G′ × H, or(b) for any m > 0 there exists a continuous character Φm of G such that pmΦm= Φ.Proof. If (b) is false for a givenm, then there exists an element σ ɛG, of orderprfor somer≤m, such that Φ(σ) ¦ 0. (Consider the sequence dual to 0 → Ker (pm) →G→pmG). There exists an open subgroupGoofGsuch that Φ(G0) = 0 and σ has orderprinG/G0. ChooseHto be the subgroup ofGgenerated by σ, and then an easy application toG/G0of the theory of finite abelian groups shows the existence ofG′ (note that Φ(σ) ¦ 0 implies that σ is not ap-th. power inG).We now prove the theorem. The proof is correct up to the statement (iv) (except that (i) should read:F′ ⊂k1⊂F′ab). To remove a minor ambiguity in the proof of (iv), choose σ to be an element of Gal (F′ab/k2) whose imagein Gal (k1/k2) generates this last group. The error occurs in the statement that the canonical mapv : AσP→Aacts on points by sendingaσp↦a; it, of course, sendsa ↦ a.The proof is correct, however, in the case that it is possible to choose σ so that σp= 1 (in Gal (F′/k2)).By applying Lemma 2 toG= Gal (F'ab/k2) and the mapG→ Gal (k1/k2) one sees that only the following two cases have to be considered.(a) It is possible to choose σ so that σpm= 1, for somem, andG=G′ × HwhereG′ acts trivially onk1andHis generated by σ.(b) For anym> 0 there exists a fieldK, F′ab⊃K⊃k1⊃k2is a cyclic Galois extension of degreepm.In the first case, we letK ⊂ F′abbe the fixed field ofG′. Then (A, I, θ), regarded as being defined overK, has a model overk2. Indeed, ifm= 1, then this was observed above, but whenm> 1 the same argument applies.In the second case, let λ : (A, I, θ) → (A, I, θ) be an isomorphism defined overk1and letvλσ… λσp−1λ = α ɛ μ(R).If λ is replaced by λγ for some γ ɛ Autk1((A, I, θ)) then α is replaced by αγP. Thus, as μ(R) is finite, we may assume that αpm−1= 1 for somem. ChooseK, as in (b), to be of degreepmoverk2. Let σmbe a generator of Gal (K/k2) whose restriction tok1is. Thenλ : (A, I, θ) → (A, I, θ= (Am, Im, θmis an isomorphism defined overKandvλσmpm−1, … λσmλ = αpm−1= 1, and so, by) Lemma 1, (A, I, θ) has a model overk2which becomes isomorphic to (A, I, θ overK.The proof may now be completed as before.Addendum: Professor Shimura has pointed out to me that the claim on lines 25 and 26 of p. 371, viz that μ(R) is a pure subgroup of ∏R*t, does not hold for all ringsR. Thus this condition, which appears to be essential for the validity of the theorem, should be included in the hypotheses. It holds, for example, if μ(R) is a direct summand of μ(F).
