Group cohomology of "twisted" projective SU(N) with various coefficients

Given a group $$ G= PSU(N) \rtimes \mathbb{Z}_2, $$ where $PSU(N)$ is a projective special unitary group. Say $a \in PSU(N)$, $c \in \mathbb{Z}_2$, then $$ c a c= a^*, $$ which $c$ flips $a$ to its ...

Connected topological/Lie group $H$ and $Q$, inflate $Q$-cocycle to coboundary in $H$

I am interested in finding mathematical examples and criteria of inflating $Q$-cocycle to coboundary in $H$, under the requirement: (1) Both $H$ and $Q$ are connected topological groups or Lie groups (...

Trivialize a cocycle of a continuous Lie group-cohomology to a coboundary

Someone recently asks a question $SO(3)$ 2-cocycle trivialized to a 2-coboundary in $SU(2)$? now inspires me to revisit an earlier general question to ask an example of 3-cocycle $\omega_3^G$ of a ...

Calculate the group cohomology classes $H^d[U(1)\rtimes Z_2, Z]$ and $H^d[U(1)\rtimes Z_2, Z_T]$

I would like to know what are the group cohomology classes $H^d[U(1)\rtimes Z_2, Z]$ and $H^d[U(1)\rtimes Z_2, Z_T]$, and/or how to calculate them. It can be shown that $H^d[U(1), Z]$ is $Z$ for ...
