Abstract

Let k be a field of positive characteristic p with degree of imperfection 1 and a nontrivial discrete valuation. We show that the Galois and flat cohomology of unipotent k-groups over k of dimension < p − 1 are finite (in fact, trivial) if and only if they are k-split. We give some examples to show that the bound p − 1 is best possible and present several applications to local-global principles.
