On Cohomology rings of infinite groups

چکیده
Let R be any ring (with 1), G a torsion free group and RG the corresponding group ring. Let Ext∗RG(M,M) be the cohomology ring associated to the RG-module M . Let H be a subgroup of finite index of G. The following is a special version of our main Theorem: Assume the profinite completion of G is torsion free. Then an element ζ ∈ Ext∗RG(M,M) is nilpotent (under Yoneda’s product) if and only if its restriction to Ext∗RH(M,M) is nilpotent. In particular this holds for the Thompson group. There are torsion free groups for which the analogous statement is false.

Ring structures of mod p equivariant cohomology rings and ring homomorphisms between them
In this paper, we consider a class of connected oriented (with respect to Z/p) closed G-manifolds with a non-empty finite fixed point set, each of which is G-equivariantly formal, where G = Z/p and p is an odd prime. Using localization theorem and equivariant index, we give an explicit description of the mod p equivariant cohomology ring of such a G-manifold in terms of algebra. This makes ...
متن کاملHermitian Periodicity and Cohomology of Infinite Orthogonal Groups
As an application of our papers [2], [4], in favourable cases we prove the periodicity of hermitian K-groups with a shorter period than previously obtained. We also compute the homology and cohomology with eld coe¢ cients of in nite orthogonal and symplectic groups of speci c rings of integers in a number eld.
متن کاملWitt Cohomology, Mayer-vietoris, Homotopy Invariance and the Gersten Conjecture
We establish a Mayer-Vietoris long exact sequence for Witt groups of regular schemes. We also establish homotopy invariance for Witt groups of regular schemes. For this, we introduce Witt groups with supports using triangulated categories. Subsequently we use these results to prove the Gersten-Witt Conjecture for semi-local regular rings of geometric type over infinite fields of characteristic ...
متن کاملCohomology of Partially Ordered Sets and Local Cohomology of Section Rings
We study local cohomology of rings of global sections of sheafs on the Alexandrov space of a partially ordered set. We give a criterion for a splitting of the local cohomology groups into summands determined by the cohomology of the poset and the local cohomology of the stalks. The face ring of a rational pointed fan can be considered as the ring of global sections of a flasque sheaf on the fac...
متن کاملThe Homology of Special Linear Groups over Polynomial Rings
We study the homology of SLn(F [t, t ]) by examining the action of the group on a suitable simplicial complex. The E–term of the resulting spectral sequence is computed and the differential, d, is calculated in some special cases to yield information about the low-dimensional homology groups of SLn(F [t, t ]). In particular, we show that if F is an infinite field, then H2(SLn(F [t, t ]), Z) = K...
