How is the classification of groups extensions by $H^2$ related to Yoneda Ext?

I can tell you what to do in one direction; then the problem is to prove that this is well defined and bijective. Suppose you're given an element of $\operatorname{\rm Ext}^2_{\mathbb{Z}G}(\mathbb{Z},...

Two spectral sequences arising from a simplicial spectrum

The precise relation between the skeleton filtration and the levelwise Postnikov filtration is that the décalage of the first is isomorphic to the second. This is explained in [Ariotta: Coherent ...

Adjunctions and inverse limits of derived categories

A reference for exactly this type of problem in general is a paper by Horev and Yanovski called "On conjugates and adjoint descent". Given a diagram $C \to D_i$ of left adjoints $f_i$ with ...

Pontryagin product on the homology of cyclic groups

I recommend always looking at the canonical reference: Ken Brown's "Cohomology of Groups". Here Chapter V.5 is literally titled "The Pontraygin product" and then the very next ...

Is $\mathrm{Hom}_R(M,R)\neq \mathfrak m \mathrm{Hom}_R(M,R)$ if $M \neq \mathfrak m M$ and $\mathrm{Hom}_R(M,R)\neq 0$?

$\DeclareMathOperator\Hom{Hom}$Yes. Choose $f\neq 0$ in $\Hom_R(M,R)$. Choose $v\in M$ such that $f(v)\neq 0$. Let $v^\ast:\Hom_R(M,R)\to R$ be given by $v^\ast(g)= g(v)$. Since the image of $v^\ast $ ...

What conditions on an Abelian category allow members of a direct sum to be determined entirely by their components?

In B. Mitchell. Theory of categories (1965) three properties of abelian categories were introduced. An abelian category is termed $C_1$ if it is cocomplete with exact coproducts, $C_2$ if it is ...

The Krull dimension of the tensor product of rings

You are looking at infinite tensor products so we really shouldn't expect the infinite product to have finite dimension in most cases. Your second example was simply an infinite tensor product of $\...

How is the classification of groups extensions by $H^2$ related to Yoneda Ext?

As I mentioned in my comment above, Gruenberg gave a direct bijection between $\operatorname{Ext}^1_{\mathbb ZG}(I_G,A)$ and group extensions $1\to A\to H\to G\to 1$. The details can be found in ...

Group homology for a metacyclic group

Everything follows from the p-primary decomposition theorem, which is nicely explained in Ken Brown's group cohomology bible (Kasper's answer is the restriction-corestriction argument written circa ...

Why is this map a split monomorphism?

Let me elaborate on what Leo says. The morphism $f\otimes k$ lives in the derived category of bounded complexes of finite-dimensional $k$-vector spaces, which is equivalent to the category of globally ...

Vanishing of $\operatorname{Ext}_R^{1}(M,R)$ when $R$ is a Gorenstein local ring of dimension $1$ and $M$ is not finitely generated

Take $R=\mathbb{Z}_{(p)}$ for some prime $p$, with $x=p$, and $M=\mathbb{Q}\oplus R$. To show that this is a counterexample, the only nonobvious thing to show is that $\operatorname{Ext}^{1}_{R}(\...

Using the mapping cone to show that a chain map defines a stable equivalence between two symmetric algebras

I'll give three answers, which basically say: (A) it doesn't matter, (B) it's not true, and (C) here's (a sketch of) a proof. But before that, there are a couple of relevant conditions in Linckelmann'...

Adjunctions and inverse limits of derived categories

Not an answer, but too long for a comment: there are many details to adjust. I am not familiar with derived categories of rings, but I guess you are looking for an explicit description of the limit of ...
