Abstract

Let GG be a topological group and AA a topological GG-module (not necessarily abelian). In this paper, we define H0(G,A)H^{0}(G,A) and H1(G,A)H^{1}(G,A) and will find a six terms exact cohomology sequence involving H0H^{0} and H1H^{1}. We will extend it to a seven terms exact sequence of cohomology up to dimension two. We find a criterion such that vanishing of H1(G,A)H^{1}(G,A) implies the connectivity of GG. We show that if H1(G,A)=1H^{1}(G,A)=1, then all complements of AA in the semidirect product GAG\ltimes A are conjugate. Also as a result, we prove that if GG is a compact Hausdorff group and AA is a locally compact almost connected Hausdorff group with the trivial maximal compact subgroup then, H1(G,A)=1H^{1}(G,A)=1.
