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.

Hilbert 90 for algebras

It's actually easier to go the other way around. Finite dimensional modules over an algebra $A$ fulfils the Krull-Remak-Schmidt theorem of being isomorphic to a direct sum of indecomposable modules wi …

Where can I easily look up / calculate (abelian) group cohomology?

This group is best understood in terms of the universal coefficient formula, i.e., in terms of the homology of the involved group. Hence, if $A$ is any abelian group we have $H_1(A)=A$ and the additio …

Injection of Ext into H^2

You get a description from the universal coefficient theorem which gives a (split) exact sequence $$ 0\to \mathrm{Ext}(H_1(G),A) \to H^2(G,A) \to \mathrm{Hom}(H_2(G),A) \to 0 $$ and the fact that $H_1 …

How to fit res map into a long exact sequence?

There is a long exact sequence but I think it is largely useless: We have that for any $H$-module $B$ the cohomology $H^n(H,B)$ is equal to the cohomology $H^n(G,B^G_H)$ of the induced module $B^G_H$. …
