Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Group homology and cohomology has its origin in topology. With the rise of
the algebraic methods the homology and cohomology of several algebraic systems
was defined and explored.
We start the lecture by giving an elementary definition of group cohomology,
along with group extensions and factor systems. We give interpretations of
the n-th cohomology group for small n.
Then we will study the functorial definition of cohomology. In the last part we will treat
Lie algebra homology and cohomology, along with some applications.

Assessment and permitted materials

Written exam after the end of the lecture.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Passing the exam (at least half of the points).

Examination topics

Split exact sequences and group extensions
Factor systems and equivalent group extensions
G-modules and low-degree cohomology groups
Functors, resolutions and cohomology
Lie algebras and Lie algebra cohomology
