Questions tagged [group-cohomology]
In mathematics, group cohomology is a set of mathematical tools used to study groups using cohomology theory, a technique from algebraic topology. Analogous to group representations, group cohomology looks at the group actions of a group G in an associated G-module M to elucidate the properties of the group.

Galois cohomology and Levi subgroups
Let $F$ a field and $G$ a smooth connected reductive group with a Levi subgroup $M$. Under what assumptions is $H^1(F, M) \to H^1(F, G)$ injective? In the case $F$ is nonarchimedean local I believe ...

Co-boundary crossed homomorphism & "sign" preserving. Why 2-valued components is special?
Suppose $h_{g}: \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}^{n-1}$ be a coboundary crossed homomorphism with action $g$ as a cyclic permutation of coordinates on $\mathbb{R}^n$ vectors. So, the acting group is a ...

Tate cohomology as a derived functor
I am trying to understand in what sense Tate cohomology may be regarded as the co-fibre of the norm map, from the perspective of derived functors.
Say $G$ is a finite group and $M$ is a $G$-module ...

Group cohomology valued in a bimodule
The usual setup for group cohomology of a group $G$ is as follows. One takes a $G$-module $M$, and considers the space of all maps
$$\ell : G \times \cdots \times G \longrightarrow M $$
together with ...

Problem understanding the cup-products for the modified cohomology in David Harari's book "Galois Cohomology and Class Field Theory"
I'm recently reading the very beginning of David Harari's book Galois Cohomology and Class Field Theory, and I met a problem with the definition of cup-products for the modified cohomology.
Before ...
