Abstract

In this paper, we consider for any free presentation G=F/RG = F/R of a group GG the coinvariance H0(G,Rabn)H_{0}(G,R_{ab}^{\otimes n}) of the nn-th tensor power of the relation module RabR_{ab} and show that the homology group H2n(G,Z)H_{2n}(G,{\mathbb Z}) may be identified with the limit of the groups H0(G,Rabn)H_{0}(G,R_{ab}^{\otimes n}), where the limit is taken over the category of these presentations of GG. We also consider the free Lie ring generated by the relation module RabR_{ab}, in order to relate the limit of the groups γnR/[γnR,F]\gamma_{n}R/[\gamma_{n}R,F] to the nn-torsion subgroup of H2n(G,Z)H_{2n}(G,{\mathbb Z}).
