Profinite and Solid Cohomology

Abstract: Solid abelian groups, as introduced by Dustin Clausen and Peter Scholze, form a subcategory of all condensed abelian groups satisfying some ''completeness'' conditions and having favourable categorical properties. Given a profinite ring $R$, there is an associated condensed ring $\underline{R}$ which is solid. We show that the natural embedding of profinite $R$-modules into solid $\underline{R}$-modules preserves $\mathrm{Ext}$ and tensor products, as well as the fact that profinite rings are analytic.
