Classifying space of a non-discrete group and relationship between group homology and topological homology of Lie groups
I have a very soft question which might be very standard in textbooks or literature but I haven't seen it.
To a fixed group $G$ we may attach different topologies to make it different topological ...

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 ...

Relating bordism groups of $\Omega_{d}^{Spin_c}$ and $\Omega_{d}^{(Spin \times SU(N))/\mathbb{Z}_2}$ to that of $U(N)$
I felt that the earlier question may be too challenging, so let me provide a different angle and more infos to tackle an easier and separate problem.
Let us consider a more explicit a short exact ...

Bordism groups and a short exact sequence
Let us consider a short exact sequence:
$$
1\to N\to G\to Q \to 1,
$$
where $N$, $Q$, and $G$ can be continuous Lie groups in general (or finite groups).
Suppose I have the data and the computations ...

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 ...

Cohomology ring of a fiberwise join
I am very interested in the cohomology ring of the following construction. Let $f: Y\to X$ be a map between (connected) topological spaces. Suppose that the image of the map $f^*:H^*(X) \to H^*(Y)$ is ...

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 ...
