Hochschild-Serre spectral sequence via explicit filtration

Let $$1 \longrightarrow K \longrightarrow G \longrightarrow Q \longrightarrow 1$$ be a short exact sequence of groups and let $M$ be a $\mathbb{Z}[G]$-module. The Hochschild--Serre spectral ...

extension problem for the Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence

For a generalized homology theory $h$ and a Serre fibration $F\rightarrow E\rightarrow B$, we can define an Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence\begin{equation}E^2_{p,q}=H_p(B,h_q(F))\Rightarrow h_{p+q}...

Can the Bockstein spectral sequence be used to compute cohomology rings ?

If $G$ is a finite group then there is the so-called Bockstein spectral sequence $$E_2^n = H^n(G,\mathbb{F}_p) \Rightarrow \begin{cases} \mathbb{F}_p & n =0 \newline 0 & n>0\end{cases}$$ ...

Cohomology of Lie group $E_8$, e.g. $H^d(E_8,\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z})$

What is the $d$-th cohomology of a Lie group $E_8$, say $H^d(E_8,\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z})$ with $\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}$ coefficient? I suppose that there are many nontrivial groups of $H^d(E_8,\mathbb{...

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 ...

Trivial action in the Hochschild-Serre spectral sequence

I probably don't understand something very basic about Hochschild-Serre spectral sequence. Let $G$ be a group with normal subgroup $N$ and $M$ a $G$-module with trivial action. Then as far as I ...

The $\pi_1(BM)$ action on $H^*(BH,R)$ in a Serre fibration $BH\to BG\to BM$

$R$ is a ring. Applying the Serre spectral sequence to a fibration $F\to E\to B$, to avoid local coefficients, we need to require that $\pi_1(B)$ acts on $H^*(F, R)$ trivially. Consider a fibration of ...

Does Kudo's transgression theorem still hold when the coefficient is ℤ/pⁿℤ?

I am trying to compute a Lyndon–Hochschild–Serre spectral sequence with coefficient $\mathbb{Z}/p^2\mathbb{Z}$, where $p$ is an odd prime, and Kudo's transgression theorem looks like a good tool for ...

Cohomology ring $H^*(BG,\mathbb{Z}_2)$ for $G=\mathbb{Z}_2\ltimes B^2\mathbb{Z}^2$

$$ \newcommand{\Z}{\mathbb{Z}} $$ Consider the group $G=\Z_2\ltimes B^2\Z^2$ where $\Z_2$ acts on $\Z^2$ by interchanging the two factors of $\Z^2$, hence $\Z_2$ also acts on the Eilenberg-MacLane ...

Group cohomology with coefficients in a graded module

I am working in a problem group cohomology and nailed it down to compute a cohomology using an spectral sequence argument. The situation is as follows: Let $G = C_4 = \langle \sigma \rangle$ be the ...

Induced Homomorphism on Cohomology of Symmetric Group 3

For the symmetric group $S_3$, there is an inclusion $i:\mathbb{Z}/3\mathbb{Z}\hookrightarrow S_3$. How can I assert that the induced homomorphism $$i^{\ast}:H^{n}(S_3,\mathbb{Z})\rightarrow H^{n}(\...

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 ...

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 (...

Relating inflation maps from spectral sequences in lower and higher dimensions

The spectral sequence has some nice property. Consider $ N \to G \overset{R}{\to} Q $ and $G/N=Q$. There is a spectral sequence $\{E^{p,q}_n, d_n\}$ with: (i) The differential is defined as a map $...

Hochschild-Serre spectral sequence

The Hochschild-Serre spectral sequence says that for a short exact sequence $$1 \to G \to H \to K \to 1 \quad (1)$$ of (discrete) groups, we have a first quadrant spectral sequence with $E_2$ page $$...

Profiniteness Condition for Hochschild-Serre Spectral Sequence?
