Decomposition of finite abelian groups of even order if there is an involution

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group and $\sigma :G\rightarrow G$ an automorphism of order two ($\sigma\circ \sigma =id_G$). Denote by $F$ and $A$ the subgroups of fixed and anti-fixed points of $\sigma$ …

Projective representations of a finite abelian group

Projective representations of a group $G$ are classified by the second group cohomology $H^2(G,U(1))$. If $G$ is finite and abelian, it is isomorphic to the direct product of cyclic groups $$ G\cong C …

Linking form for homology with general coefficients

For integral homology groups there is the notion of linking form (http://www.map.mpim-bonn.mpg.de/Linking_form) $$ Tor(H_{l}(X,\mathbb{Z}))\times Tor(H_{n-l-1}(X,\mathbb{Z}))\rightarrow \mathbb{Q}/\ma …

Pontryagin dual of a group-cohomology class

Let $A, B, C$ be finite Abelian groups fitting in a short exact sequence $$ 1 \rightarrow A\overset{\iota}{\rightarrow} B\overset{\pi}{\rightarrow} C\rightarrow 1 $$ This determines a class $[\epsilo …

A map in group cohomology from $H^n(G,G^{\vee})$ to $H^{n+1}(G,U(1))$

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group and denote by $G^{\vee}=\mathrm{Hom}(G,U(1))$ its Pontryagin dual. For any positive integer $n$ one can define a homomorphism of abelian groups $$ f:H^{n}(G,G^{\vee}) …

Quadratic refinements of a bilinear form on finite abelian groups

$\DeclareMathOperator\Hom{Hom}$Let $A$ be a finite abelian group and $\text{Sym}(A)$ the (abelian) group of symmetric bilinear forms over $A$ valued in $\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}$. A quadratic function on …

Trivial group cohomology induces trivial cohomology of subgroups

From the answer to another question I asked (Projective representations of a finite abelian group) and from the structure theorem of finite abelian groups it follows that if $A$ is a finite abelian gr …

Is there a clear pattern for the degree $2n$ cohomology group of the $n$'th Eilenberg-MacLan...

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group, and its higher classifying space is $B^nG=K(G,n)$. For $n=1$ it is well known that $H^2(B G, \mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}) \cong H^2(G,\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z})$ is isomorphic …
