Abstract

For many finite groups a symmetric 22-cocycle α\alpha (α(g,h)=α(h,g)\alpha(g,h)=\alpha(h,g), for all pairs (h,g)(h,g) of the group) with values in C×\mathbb{C}^\times is a coboundary. We show using a theoretic arguement and GAP that there is a group of order 6464 having a symmetric 22-cocycle with a non trivial cohomology class.
