Yoga of six functors for group representations?
I'm trying to understand how the six functor philosophy applies to representation theory. Consider the category of classifying stacks $BG$ (assume $G$ discrete for simplicity). To every stack we can ...

Is it useful to consider cohomology of group representations?
In group representation theory, one attempts to explain and classify (some of) the modules over the group ring $k[G]$, for some field $k$. In group cohomology, one develops the machinery of the ...

Group cohomology of $\mathbb{Z}$ vs $\mathbb{Z}_p$
Let $M$ be a continuous representation of $\mathbb{Z}_p$ over $\mathbb{F}_p$, likely infinite-dimensional.
There is the inflation map of group cohomology $H^*_{\text{cts}}(\mathbb{Z}_p, M) \rightarrow ...

Restricting projective representations of Lie groups to lattices
Let $G$ be a simple Lie group with trivial center, and let $\Gamma$ be a lattice in $G$. Is it true that an infinite-dimensional projective representation of $G$ restricted to $\Gamma$ can be de-...

Large modules with non-trivial cohomology
Let $p$ be a prime and $F$ algebraic closer of $F_p$.
I want to know if it is possible to construct family of groups $\{G_i\}_{i=1}^{\infty}$ and a family of simple modules $V_i$ over $F[G_i]$ of ...

cohomology of orthogonal (or general linear) group over finite fields
Let $\mathbb{Z}_2=\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$. Let
$$
O(\mathbb{Z}_2^{\oplus k})=\{A\mid A \text{ is a } k\times k \text{ - matrix with entries } 0,1, det(A)=\pm 1\}
$$
What is $$
H^*(BO(\mathbb{Z}_2^{\...

cohomology of orthogonal group of integers
Let
$$
O(\mathbb{Z}^{\oplus k})=GL(\mathbb{Z}^{\oplus k})\cap O(k).
$$
What is $$
H^*(BO(\mathbb{Z}^{\oplus k});\mathbb{Z})?
$$
If it cannot be computed out, can we get
$$
H^*(O(\mathbb{Z}^{\oplus ...
