Jul 14, 2015 at 6:35 comment added KotelKanim Thanks for the answers, but I don't agree about Q3. As mark says, acyclic means trivial homology with integral coefficients. I am talking about trivial homology with any (twisted/local) coefficients. I don't think there is a non-trivial group with trivial homology as I explained in the question.
Jul 14, 2015 at 5:59 comment added Mark Grant For Q3), I don't think $BG$ with $G$ acyclic is necessarily contractible. Acyclic usually means trivial homology with integer coefficients, so Higman's group is a counter-example.
