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 ...

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-...

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

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 ...

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 ...
