The natural maphas finite image by hypothesis. It remains to bound its kernel. If becomes for , thenis a one-cocycle for . Changing by an -torsion point changes this cocycle by a coboundary, producing a well-defined map from the kernel toIf its cohomology class is zero, subtracting the corresponding torsion point from makes Galois fixed, so . The map is therefore injective. Both and are finite, so this group cohomology set is finite. A finite kernel and finite image give
