introduction

  • For a finite group G and its module M, \(H^{0}(G,M)\) is isomorphic to \(M/N(M)\) where \(N(m) = \sum_{\sigma\in G}\sigma m\)


central extension

  • A central extension of a group \(G\) is a short exact sequence of groups

\[1\rightarrow A\rightarrow E\rightarrow G\rightarrow 1\] such that \(A\) is in \(Z(E)\), the center of the group \(E\).

  • The set of isomorphism classes of central extensions of \(G\) by \(A\) (where \(G\) acts trivially on \(A\)) is in one-to-one correspondence with the cohomology group \(H^2(G, A)\).
