One of the standard parts of homological algebra is "diagram chasing", or equivalent arguments with universal properties in abelian categories. Is there a rigorous theory of diagram chasing, and ...

I have been intrigued for a long time by the formal similarity of results from different areas of mathematics. Here are some examples. Set theory Given a map $f:X\to Y$ and subsets $X' \subset X, Y'\...

Suppose $(C,d)$ is a chain complex: an abelian group with a map $d:C \to C$ such that $d^2 = 0$ (people like to assume $C$ is graded; if that helps - feel free to do so). A filtration is an ascending ...

[Note]: My question will be a bit long. So, first, thank you for your careful reading, generous comments, helps and answers, in advance! The spin $G$-bordism invariant can be twisted in the way that ...

The question concerns the group homology or group cohomology of symmetric groups. The entries in groupprops.subwiki.org and in this MO post show the results for the symmetric group S$_4$. groupprops....
