Nov 28, 2017 at 21:42 comment added Anton Fetisov @JeffStrom Take a look at the Wiki page on perfect groups. In particular, $A_5$ and the groups of elementary infinite matrices over a ring $E(R)$ are both perfect and non-acyclic. For $E(R)$ its $H^2(\mathbb Z)$ is equal to $K_2(R)$.

Nov 28, 2017 at 20:05 comment added Jeff Strom What is the distinction between $\pi$ being acyclic and being perfect? I mean, I see the logical distinction; but are there examples to show that they are actually different concepts?
