We define cohomology of associative H-pseudoalgebras, and we show that it describes module extensions, abelian pseudoalgebra extensions, and pseudoalgebra first order deformations. We describe in details the same results for the special…

In this paper we study non-abelian extensions of a Lie group $G$ modeled on a locally convex space by a Lie group $N$. The equivalence classes of such extension are grouped into those corresponding to a class of so-called smooth outer…

Computations based on explicit 4-periodic resolutions are given for the cohomology of the finite groups G known to act freely on S^3, as well as the cohomology rings of the associated 3-manifolds (spherical space forms) M = S^3/G. Chain…

In this paper we present some applications of Ann-category theory to classification of crossed bimodules over rings, classification of ring extensions of the type of a crossed bimodule.

Given a Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$ and a $\mathfrak{g}$-module $V$, it is due to Gerstenhaber that there is an isomorphism between $H^3(\mathfrak{g}, V )$ and the group of equivalence classes of crossed modules with kernel $V$ and cokernel…

We exhibit an explicit construction for the second cohomology group $H^2(L, A)$ for a Lie ring $L$ and a trivial $L$-module $A$. We show how the elements of $H^2(L, A)$ correspond one-to-one to the equivalence classes of central extensions…

For a central perfect extension of groups $A \rightarrowtail G\twoheadrightarrow Q$, first we study the natural image of $H_3(A,\mathbb{Z})$ in $H_3(G, \mathbb{Z})$. As a particular case, we show that if the extension is universal this…

In this paper we present the general theory of cleft extensions for a cocommutative weak Hopf algebra $H$. For a weak left $H$-module algebra we obtain a bijective correspondence between the isomorphisms classes of $H$-cleft extensions…

Let G be the simple, simply connected algebraic group SL_3 defined over an algebraically closed field K of characteristic p>0. In this paper, we find H^2(G,V) for any irreducible G-module V. When p>7 we also find H^2(G(q),V) for any…

We prove explicit and elementary formulas for the group homology and cohomology of a finite group with coefficients in any module. We describe in elementary terms the cohomology algebra $H^*(G,k)$ as a graded algebra for a finite group $G$…

We observe that any regular Lie groupoid G over an manifold M fits into an extension $K \to G \to E$ of a foliation groupoid E by a bundle of connected Lie groups K. If $\FF$ is the foliation on M given by the orbits of E and T is a…

Let $G$ be a connected complex algebraic group and $A$ a connected abelian algebraic group endowed with an algebraic action of $G$ by group automorphisms. In the present note we describe the abelian group $\Ext_{alg}(G,A)$ of algebraic…

An algebraic category $\mathcal{C}$ is called balanced if the cotriple cohomology of any object of $\mathcal{C}$ vanishes in positive dimensions on injective coefficient modules. Important examples of balanced and of non-balanced categories…

We address the (pointed) homotopy of crossed module morphisms in modified categories of interest; which generalizes the groups and various algebraic structures. We prove that, the homotopy relation gives rise to an equivalence relation;…

We develop a unified framework based on topological crossed modules for various lifting obstructions for $\Gamma$-kernels. It allows us to identify actions, cocycle actions and $\Gamma$-kernels up to their natural equivalence relations with…

We construct a correspondence between the cohomology groups of a group $G$ relative to a family of subgroups $\famS$ and the classes of `relative extensions' of $G$ by abelian groups, modulo a certain equivalence relation. We establish this…

Let $H$ be a Hopf algebra. We consider $H$-equivariant modules over a Hopf module category $\mathcal C$ as modules over the smash extension $\mathcal C\# H$. We construct Grothendieck spectral sequences for the cohomologies as well as the…

We introduce and study a homology theory of crossed modules with coefficients in an abelian crossed module. We discuss the basic properties of these new homology groups and give some applications. We then restrict our attention to the case…

In this paper, we state the notion of morphisms in the category of abelian crossed modules and prove that this category is equivalent to the category of strict Picard categories and regular symmetric monoidal functors. The theory of…

A $(G,n)$-complex is an $n$-dimensional CW-complex with fundamental group $G$ and whose universal cover is $(n-1)$-connected. If $G$ has periodic cohomology then, for appropriate $n$, we show that there is a one-to-one correspondence…
